Air Jordan 3 Rare Air - Black - UK 4

The shoe features a combination of black leather, grey suede overlays, and nubuck accents on the upper.

For leather sections, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For suede and nubuck, use a specialized brush and cleaner designed for those materials. Always air dry away from direct heat.

The 'Rare Air' designation refers to its unique, sample-inspired details, such as the reversed Nike Air branding on one heel tab and the replacement of traditional elephant print with grey suede overlays.

While it's an Air Jordan, the 'Rare Air' edition is primarily designed as a lifestyle and collector's item due to its premium materials and unique features. It's best suited for casual wear rather than high-performance sports.

The colorway includes Black, Chile Red, Neutral Grey, Military Blue, and Coconut Milk.

The Air Jordan 3 Retro OG Rare Air was released on May 30, 2025.

The Manufacturer Product Number (MPN) is IB8967-004.

Use appropriate cleaning products for each material; for scuffs on leather, a dedicated leather conditioner can help. For suede, a suede brush can often lift superficial dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.

This is often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing and reinserting the insole. Applying a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insole can also reduce friction.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or experiment with different thicknesses of socks. For minor discomfort, a brief break-in period is often sufficient.

This can occur with age, especially if shoes are stored improperly. If within warranty, contact customer service. For older shoes, a professional shoe repair specialist may be able to re-glue the sole.
