The Air Jordan 3 "Cardinal" Pays Homage to a Legendary 1992 Release

Jordan Brand has been smashing it out the park this year with plenty of high heat releases and fire collaborations. The label shows absolutely no signs of slowing down yet as the latest Air Jordan 3 release has just been previewed. Inspired by the legendary Jordan 7 “Cardinal” from 1992, the Air Jordan 3 “Cardinal” is likely to see a release towards the latter end of the year. It’s been a big year for the AJ3 and here at The Sole Supplier we’re absolutely loving it, we can’t cop enough of them!

The iconic colourway comprises of white, cardinal red, a light curry hue and cement grey for a perfectly-blended mix, while the Nike/Jordan Brand elephant print pattern is also present for a traditional touch. Could these be your next Air Jordan cop? Read on for a closer look right here!

The uppers are crafted from premium pebbled leather in classic AJ3 stylings, with plenty of padding present around the ankles that points to the performance nature of the sneaker. Branding comes in the form of a Jumpman logo embroidered onto the tongue and embossed onto the heel for a signature look, while there’s no Swoosh branding across this pair at all. The curved toe box and low-key lacing system finish off the look along with a padded tongue that’s secured internally with elastic.

Underfoot a whited-out midsole unit encases a visible Air unit under the heel, allowing for plenty of comfort and support whenever you slip into these. If you’re as keen on this pair as we are, you’ll have to hold tight a little longer just yet as there’s been no official announcement.
