Air Jordan 3 "Laser"

TLDR: The Air Jordan 3 “Laser” brings back one of the rarest Jordan concepts of all time. Premium leather, brown suede and intricately laser-engraved graphics tell the story of Michael Jordan’s life and career. It’s set to be released on 22 August 2026 for €230.

With the Air Jordan 3 “Laser”, Jordan Brand is reviving a concept that dates back to 2003. Back then, designer Mark Smith created a unique, laser-engraved AJ3 to mark Michael Jordan’s 40th birthday – a genuine one-of-a-kind and, to this day, one of the rarest Jordans ever.

It is precisely this shoe that serves as the inspiration for the new release. The light-coloured premium leather of the upper acts as a canvas for numerous laser-engraved illustrations that reference Jordan’s career, personal interests and key moments in his life. As a result, the trainer almost feels like a wearable archive of his history.

Instead of the classic elephant print, Jordan Brand has opted for coffee-brown suede on the toe box, heel and collar. The warm brown tone also features in the inner lining, adding depth to the otherwise light colourway. A red Jumpman on the tongue provides a small but striking splash of colour.

The Air Jordan 3 “Laser” is set to release on 22 August 2026.

You can get your hands on the trainer via Nike SNKRS and at selected Jordan Brand retailers. The retail price is €230. Also check out Grailify to keep track of all confirmed shops, raffles and potential restocks.
