A Closer Look at the Air Jordan 3 "Animal Instinct"

It’s official, Jordan Brand are extending their animal pack to include the Air Jordan 3 “Animal Instinct”. While the initial drop back in 2019 boasted textured fabrics, this particular iteration looks to exotic reptiles for texture inspo and elephants for print ideas. Impossible to miss, this statement sneaker is slightly more pared-back and wearable than previous versions.

The upper is crafted from croc-embossed leather and a snakeskin-effect panel sits on the toe. The ankle comes in a reptilian texture and the heel utilises an unusual elephant print. A multi-textured design that’s completely inspired by the animal kingdom, these Jordan 3s are as comfortable as they are vibrant. Fitted with Nike’s exclusive Air unit that cushions your foot where you need it most, these are an absolute must cop in our opinion.

There’s no news yet on when the Air Jordan 3 “Animal Instinct” is set to release, we’re predicting a springtime drop. So, as always, keep it locked into The Sole Supplier for more information about this release and more Nike news, releases and restocks!
