Air Jordan 3 “World’s Best Dad” Drops for Father’s Day 2026

It’s all in the family for Jordan Brand in 2026. After the recent Air Jordan 4 Mother’s Day tribute and the upcoming “Family Affair” Air Jordan 3 and “Bloodline” Air Jordan 12, the brand is now paying tribute to the other half of the parental duo. Slated for a May release, the upcoming Air Jordan 3 “World’s Best Dad” serves as a heartfelt nod to fatherhood just in time for Father's Day.

Leaked details from zSneakerheadz and Sneaker Files suggest the pair will arrive in a Sail, Black, University Red, Pale Ivory, and Palomino color palette. It closely mirrors the beloved OG layout, with signature elephant print overlays and black midsoles returning. Red eyelets, inner lining, and Jumpman branding on the tongue offer a pop of color against creamy leather uppers, while the use of darker tones adds a subtle masculine edge to the tribute.

But it’s not just about aesthetics—Jordan Brand is set to include a special Father’s Day card with the shoes, rounding out the gift-ready presentation and cementing the model’s thematic intent.

Currently scheduled to release on May 30, 2026, the Air Jordan 3 “World’s Best Dad” will arrive just two weeks ahead of Father’s Day, making it a fitting and timely homage.

Stay tuned for official images and release details as the drop draws closer.
