Air Jordan 3 x J Balvin Rio will be available today at 7:30 PM on Nike US.
The Jordan Brand x J Balvin collaboration now features four highly sought-after sneakers, with the latest addition being the AJ3 Rio Edition. J Balvin, the Colombian-born global superstar and fashion icon, infuses his unique aesthetic into this model, which exemplifies his dynamic energy while preserving the timeless appeal of the Air Jordan line. Named after his son Rio, this edition draws inspiration from the serene hues of a sunset seen from the mountains of his hometown, Medellín. It juxtaposes a Black leather upper with striking accents of Solar Flare and Total Crimson. The design incorporates the hallmark elements of the Air Jordan 3, including the visible Air cushioning and the iconic elephant print overlays, reinforcing its legendary status. J Balvin was integrally involved in every stage of the design and construction process, imbuing the sneaker with personal significance related to his son and his origins. The Air Jordan 3 has long surpassed its basketball roots to become a cultural icon, a testament to its enduring influence. To commemorate this collaboration, the AJ3 Rio Edition features a nightfall-inspired design, accompanied by a keychain and special packaging inscribed with the words: “A sunset always reminds me, that a new day full of opportunity is coming.” These thoughtful details underscore the unique nature of this edition. Therefore, enthusiasts and collectors are encouraged not to miss the opportunity to acquire this distinctive sneaker.
