Where to Buy the Air Jordan 3 “Desert Elephant”

Jordan Brand’s running theme of tweaking OGs ever-so-slightly will continue on into the new year, with this Air Jordan 3 “Desert Elephant” next on the Jumpman’s list for Summer 2022.

A very first look at the Air Jordan 3 “Desert Elephant” has landed courtesy of @fxxvlogvi showing a direct nod to the OG Black Cement, save a few key changes. Firstly, the signature grey hues throughout are replaced by a natural aged-look elephant finish in tan, while tongue, liners, and forefoot eyestays swap red for orange. Collars, tongues, and mid panels prefer a suede finish in a light pink-beige, while uppers work in a buttery mix of smooth and lightly tumbled leathers. Further aged aesthetics are applied to the sail and warm grey sole units, before being completed by special elephant man insoles.

Originally scheduled for an April 30th release, the pair has now been pushed back to August 30.
