Multiple sample colorways emerge.

SoleFly’s Air Jordan 3 Collab Almost Looked Way Different

Updated December 11th, 2025: Another SoleFly Jordan 3 sample has emerged, embedded below.

Original article published December 4th, 2025:

As one of Jordan Brand’s closest partners, SoleFly boasts a treasure trove of PE styles and unreleased samples that runs deeper than most. Coinciding with the upcoming release of the Jordan 3 “Fruits Of Our Labor,” new images posted to X reveal what could have been: two sample styles featuring designs that diverge significantly from the retail pair.

The further removed of the two is a highlighter-like orange leather build that mixes two different orange shades with green hits on the heel and outsole. A pre-aged midsole sits underfoot, complemented by cream-colored laces. The second sample is more in line with the released version but still showcases notable differences: grey suede replaces the orange suede on the toe and heel, orange detailing frames the toe box, and the heel sports orange-on-green Nike Air branding.

The actual SoleFly x Jordan 3 releases December 5th via SoleFly. Raffles have closed as of this writing, and there are currently no announced plans for an additional drop.
