In-hand images of the new style have yet to surface, but a speculative mock-up renders Michael Jordan’s third signature sneaker in a fully Realtree Camo-patterned upper with olive accents and bright red branding. Based on the official color description of “Medium Olive/Sequoia/Neutral Olive/Sail/Total Crimson,” a final product similar to the mock-up seems likely.

While the Realtree Camo look is new for the Air Jordan 3, it’s not the first time camouflage has appeared on the model. In 2021, Nike, Inc.’s Jordan Brand issued a “Patchwork Camo” iteration of the sneaker which blended various prints and materials across the upper. And more recently, in July 2024, a WNBA-inspired colorway of the Air Jordan 3 featured a desert camouflage design. As for Realtree Camo specifically, the patented pattern appeared on the Jordan Air Ship in 2023.

Other 2025 Air Jordan 3 releases of note include a Valentine’s Day-themed style and a “Lucky Shorts” colorway inspired by one of Jordan’s unique superstitions, both of which are due to launch in February. Also on the horizon for the sneaker is a new “Diffused Blue” collaboration with A Ma Maniére.

The Air Jordan 3 Retro “Realtree Camo” is set to launch during holiday ’25 from Nike’s SNKRS platform and select Jordan Brand retailers. The sneaker’s style code is DN3707-202. Retail pricing has not been confirmed.
