It’s Official: Everything You Need to Know About the Jordan 3 x Levi’s Collection

Update January 20, 2026 – Levi’s and Jordan Brand are back! After a wave of speculation late in 2025 regarding a new collaboration on the Air Jordan 3 silhouette, we can finally present the official images and details this January 2026.

Alongside the White/Sail colourway, there are several other sneaker designs plus, of course, a full apparel collection. Here is everything you need to know:

A closer Look at the Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 Collection…

Jordan Brand and Levi’s have announced an extensive collection for Spring 2026, blending basketball culture with denim craftsmanship. At the heart of this collab is the Air Jordan 3 silhouette, which will drop in four distinct versions, each honouring different communities and events.

The ‘Rigid’ colourway features classic indigo denim paired with black elephant print, while the ‘Black’ version stands out with premium leather and a unique heel piece made from embroidered denim.

Exclusively for the Asian market, there is the ‘Year of the Horse’ edition, crafted from unbleached ecru denim and genuine pony hair. Rounding off the quartet is the ‘LA Exclusive’, dropping just in time for the NBA All-Star Weekend with blue denim accents and ‘City of Angels’ embroidery.

All models feature the iconic Levi’s Red Tab on the heel and Jordan Branding on the tounge.

The sneakers are accompanied by a nine-piece apparel collection. Highlights include the Pinnacle Varsity Jacket made of wool and leather, featuring archive graphics nodding to Michael Jordan’s Chicago legacy, as well as a modern take on the Type III Trucker Jacket.

For the nostalgics out there, the standout piece is a T-shirt reimagining Spike Lee’s famous ‘Button Your Fly’ campaign from the 90s.

How about the drop date?

The release is staggered: It all kicks off with the ‘Year of the Horse’ on 24 January in China. On 5 February, the Black and Indigo models follow for the Super Bowl in San Francisco, before the LA-exclusive drop lands on 13 February. The massive global release for the full collection via SNKRS and Levi’s will finally take place on 20 February 2026.

Are We Getting the Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 ‘Sail’ Colourway?

Original post December 12, 2025 – Levi’s and Nike don’t seem to be slowing down in 2025. After the popular Air Max 95 collab, plus the accompanying apparel released in the summer of 2025, we also got a look at some Nigo x Levi’s Air Force 3 designs and an early glimpse of a denim-look Jordan 3 on Spike Lee’s feet. Now it seems we can look forward to another new Jordan 3 design. The next colorway, probably titled Sail, features a subtle palette with premium details.

Here’s what we know…

A closer Look at the Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 ‘Sail’…

In November 2025, we saw the first images of a new Air Jordan 3 in collaboration with Levi’s, spotted on Spike Lee’s feet at a Knicks game. Now, a second colorway has surfaced. The Sail version was teased by artist Lil Yachty and Leo Gamboa, the creative mind behind Levi’s collaborations. The design, with its clean tonal look, reminds us of the popular Air Jordan 4 Sail x Levi’s from 2018.

Let’s take a closer look: The Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 ‘Sail’ skips the typical denim-blue accents and instead keeps things neutral. The upper comes in a beige tone with a texture that still hints at Levi’s denim roots. For an extra touch, the mudguard features soft pony hair. Classic Levi’s red accents appear on the heel tab and the signature Levi’s label, rounding out the design. Overall, it’s a clean beige look with subtle animal-inspired details, basically engineered to slide straight into the current trend wave.

How about the drop date? At the time of writing, neither Levi’s nor Jordan Brand has shared official release information for the Air Jordan 3 ‘Sail’ or ‘Denim’ colourways. Stay tuned to our socials @thedropdate to keep up to date. In the meantime, why not check out our sneaker search engine for more Air Jordan 3 colourways currently available.
