AJ3 Retro Cardinal Red

AJ3 Retro Cardinal Red

Jordan 7 Colors on a Jordan 3

Released February 19, 2022, the Air Jordan 3 Retro Cardinal Red (CT8532-126) borrows its palette from the classic Air Jordan 7 “Cardinal” that debuted in 1992. White tumbled leather covers most of the upper. Cardinal Red hits the eyelets, inner liner, and a glossy strip across the midsole. A Light Curry/bronze Jumpman is embroidered on the tongue, with the lower eyelets matching that same warm tone. Cement grey and black elephant print wraps the toe and heel in the traditional AJ3 fashion. Retail was $200.

The red is rich and saturated, not washed out. Elephant print contrast is sharp. The bronze Jumpman on the tongue is a detail that separates this colorway from the rest of the J3 lineup. Half up if you run wide. More J3 colorways sit on the Jordan 3 reps page. Full selection at sneaker reps.
