Levi's x Air Jordan 3 "Denim" Retro Expected Spring 2026

The Air Jordan 3's 40th anniversary is only a few years away. Although the eponymous imprint hasn't disclosed exactly what it has planned for the occasion, a number of expected retros in the event's lead-up have already begun to surface. Case in point?: A denim-covered Levi's collaboration is reportedly dropping throughout Spring 2026.

Shared across social media by X user @brandon1an and Romania's Sneaker Market outlet, the rumor arrives seven years after the last time Levi's partnered with Jordan Brand on the Air Jordan 4 in 2018. As with its predecessor, Tinker Hatfield's first design for His Airness is expected to feature denim panels across the upper, presented in varying washes. "Black" contrast is expected to appear via signature elephant print, as well as on the tongue and spine areas. Speculative mock-ups suggest the pair will also include a "Sail"-colored midsole, falling in line with other faux-aged retros from the Air Jordan series.

To cement the collaboration in the history books of both institutions, Levi's iconic red tab should land throughout the sneaker's upper. Additional laces and a custom shoe box are also expected. According to the leakers, the spring-slated drop will launch alongside co-branded apparel.

Stay tuned for firm Nike.com/Jordan release details. In-hand and official photos of the Levi's Jordan 3 should begin to hit the internet by Fall 2025.
