Air Jordan 3 "Brazil" Drops May 16

Jordan Brand's celebration of the Brazil continues with an Air Jordan 3 retro.

According to the duo of Sneaker Files and X user @zSneakerHeadz, Tinker Hatfield's first design for Michael Jordan's signature shoe series will appear in a medley deserving of a "Brazil" moniker. Clad in a "Racer Blue/Lucky Green/Blue Void/Varsity Maize" color scheme, the pair is expected to include original branding elements on the heel and outsole. The color palette evokes images of the Brazil National Football Team's Away kits from throughout the years.

The Confederação Brasileira de Futebol's crest also indulges in a blue-heavy execution, despite the football nation being most associated to yellow-and-green.

According to reports, Team Jumpman will sponsor and manufacture Brazil's second shirt for the 2026 FIFA World Cup™. Early images of the rumored Away jersey showcase the same predominantly "Racer Blue" finish with "Varsity Maize" accents appear throughout. A first look at the Air Jordan 3 "Brazil" might have just surfaced credits to Carlos Alcaraz, pictured below.

A lifestyle-oriented collection will also launch as part of Jordan Brand's partnership with the Brazilian Football Confederation, which has been working with the Nike, Inc. empire since 1997. The flightsuits and other items, however, opt for a Chicago Bulls-friendly black-and-red color scheme.

Pairs of the "Brazil" AJ3 are expected to hit Nike.com/Jordan on Saturday, May 16. Enjoy an official look at the pair below.
