Air Jordan 3 Retro Cardinal Red

Elephant Print and leather on the upper

The Air Jordan 3 Retro Cardinal Red features premium white leather, broken up by deep Cardinal Red and subtle gold details. The most recognizable element is the Elephant Print pattern – it is what has distinguished the "threes" from the rest of the line for decades, and it is what makes this model identifiable from across the street. This is complemented by distinctive perforations and a gold Jumpman logo, which serves as an accent in this colorway rather than a forced embellishment.

Fit and feel

The mid-height upper is taken straight from the original model: it covers the ankle enough to stabilize the foot, but it doesn't make putting the shoe on difficult or restrict movement while walking. Air cushioning ensures comfort over longer distances. We offer sizes 40-46, and the most reliable way to choose is to measure your foot in centimeters and compare the result with our size chart. Part of our range can be tried on at our partner store, SneakersJoint, located at Odrzańska 15 in Wrocław.

How to wear them

White paired with red provides great contrast, so they work best with a simple outfit: raw jeans, a black hoodie, and a gray jacket. The gold details catch the light subtly enough that the pair doesn't look overly formal and works well for everyday wear. We’ve collected other versions of this silhouette under Air Jordan 3 shoes, and if you are still choosing a model, browse the entire Air Jordan collection or our wider footwear section.
