Release Date, Price and Where to Buy
Air Jordan 3 “Knicks”
Style Code: JU1525-148

Price: $215
Release Date: June 18, 2026
Launch: SNKRS preorder

Air Jordan 3 “Knicks” Design
The pair landed as New York celebrated its first ticker tape parade for an NBA title. It brings the modern Air Jordan 3 shape to a colorway first released in 2019.
The 2026 pair repeats the 2019 color blocking, with the official colorway listed as White/Old Royal/University Orange/Tech Grey. The blue and orange accents look slightly less saturated in the official images than on the earlier pair.
Jordan Brand has not changed the colorway name or the layout. The updates come from the build and the small details rather than the paint.
Each pair reportedly includes a sheet of New York themed stickers. Those who preordered over the summer should see delivery before year end, with December the likely window.
How Is the 2026 Pair Different From the 2019 Release?
The shape follows the slimmer build Jordan Brand introduced with the “White Cement Reimagined” in 2023. It has a lower collar, a shorter heel tab and a lower tongue, with the tongue fabric tucked behind the leather upper. The tongue tag now reads “06.13.26” instead of “04.08.88”.
