Women's Air Jordan 3 "Fireside" Retro Expected October 2026

The Air Jordan 3 is two years removed from its 40th anniversary. The occasion is likely to be one for the history books, but Jordan Brand isn't relegating Tinker Hatfield's first design for "His Airness" to the archives in the meantime, reimagining it in handfuls of new ensembles.

According to the trio of Sneaker Files, Sneaker Market, and X user @zSneakerHeadz, the third Air Jordan silhouette is expected to drop in a "Velvet Brown/Pearl White/Gum Dark Brown" color scheme come October. Tentatively dubbed "Fireside," the pair is slated to arrive in Women's sizing, marking yet another exclusive for a segment of the market that was once underserved.

An early, speculative mock-up of the retro depicts the "Fireside" style covered in a number of shades of brown. Laces and eyelets deliver some cream-colored contrast, while the sole unit reverts to a pitch-dark execution. Jumpman logos are expected on the heel instead of classic Nike Air text.
