Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Cardinal' Sneakers - White/Cardinal Red/Light Curry

A Vintage Jordan Archive Tribute

The Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Cardinal' brings the beloved palette of the original 1992 Air Jordan 7 'Cardinal' to the iconic Jordan 3 silhouette. Released on February 19, 2022, this retro pairs a clean White base with Cardinal Red and Light Curry accents for a look that feels nostalgic, considered, and unmistakably Jordan.

Every color placement has a purpose. The warm Light Curry details recall the original AJ7, while the signature elephant print keeps the design grounded in the Jordan 3 legacy. It is a cross-silhouette tribute made for collectors who appreciate the story behind the colorway as much as the shoe itself.
