Air 3 Retro "True Blue"

The Air 3 Retro “True Blue” brings an original colorway back for another round.

First released in 1988, the “True Blue” returns in 2026 with the White, True Blue and Varsity Red color combination that helped make it a standout in the Air archive. Tumbled leather covers the upper, while signature elephant print overlays and visible Air cushioning keep the design rooted in the original.

More than three decades later, some colorways still don’t need much of an update.
