The Air Jordan 3 "Desert Elephant" Will Be One of Summer's Most Popular Sneakers

As we get deeper into summer, we're beginning to get sneak peeks of what's to come later this season, including the Air Jordan 3 "Desert Elephant" which we think will be one of the most popular sneakers of the year. Bearing a striking resemblance to the 1988's "Black Cement", here's what we know so far!

Placing a massive emphasis on high quality materials. this Air Jordan 3 is dressed in tumbled black leather while perforated "Fossil Stone" panels arrive around the ankle and lacing system for a multi-textured look. Rather than sticking with the red from the aforementioned "Black Cement", the "Desert Elephant" opts for contrasting "Rush Orange" tones on the Jumpman and bottommost eyelets.

Classic brown elephant detailing adorns the front of the shoe and heel, and rounding it all off is a crisp white Nike Air midsole that offers an insane amount of comfort both on the street and on the hardwood court.

Originally mean to drop at the end of April, the Nike Air Jordan 3 "Rush Orange Fossil Stone" now has a revised release date of June 25th, so make sure you smash that "Notify me" button for your best chance to cop. Let us know what you think of this upcoming AJ3 colourway, and while you're here, here's when you can cop the Air Jordan 3 OG "Fire Red"!
