Detailed Look: Air Jordan 3 RM

The first-half of the year has brought about some exciting news from the world of Jordan Brand. And while the remainder of 2025 has yet to pan out, more and more release rumors for Spring 2026 and beyond continue to emerge. The latest posits that the eponymous label will debut the Air Jordan 3 RM by April 2026.

First reported by Sneaker Files, the news arrives in the aftermath of the restomod treatment being applied to both the Air Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 7. The latter dropped the conventional "RM" naming scheme in favor of the "Jordan MVP 92," but its design is rooted in the brand's modernization of Michael Jordan's signature series.

An initial mock-up of the sneaker showcases an identical sole unit between Tinker Hatfield's design from 1988 and the impending launch. The differences, then, arrive across the upper, as has been the case on previous RM offerings. Panels have been reorganized across the profiles, appearing slimmer, but busier. Elephant print is replaced with non-standard perforations that appear as part of a new heel clip; the signature detail is completely abandoned at the forefoot. Branding on the tongue opts for a different look, just as the silhouette's height indulges in a shorter trim.

Stay tuned for firm Nike.com/Jordan release details. Pairs of the Jordan 3 RM are expected to release throughout Spring 2026. A newly-surfaced "Phantom/Summit White/Infrared 23" joins the model's inaugural lineup.
