First Look at the J Balvin x Air Jordan 3

J Balvin is certainly no stranger when it comes to Jordan Brand collaborations. After dropping a rainbow-colored Air Jordan 1 in 2020 and a cloudy Air Jordan 2 in 2021, the Colombian artist has now stepped out in his third Jumpman shoe with the J Balvin x Air Jordan 3. Rumors of this sneaker have been swirling around for many months, and now, we're taking our very first look.

Balvin's take on the Air Jordan 3 is crafted from a creamy leather construction with "Pale Vanilla" accenting throughout. Elephant print paneling adorns the front and back of the sneaker, and around the back you'll find a gradient effect that fades from navy to yellow, inspired by Medellín sunsets. Shifting your focus underfoot, the midsoles are infused with Nike Air technology for unrivaled comfort and cushioning with every step, and this is lined with an icy blue rubber outsole. All of this comes packed in a special edition shoe box for fans of the Prince of Reggaeton.

Not much else is known about the J Balvin x Air Jordan 3 at this moment in time, so make sure you keep it locked at Ox Street to find out everything that you need to know. While you're here, you might as well take a closer look at the Bephie’s Beauty Supply x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Footscape!
