AJ3 Retro Palomino

AJ3 Retro Palomino

Suede, Gold, and a Caramel Finish

The Air Jordan 3 Retro Palomino (CT8532-102) released July 29, 2023 at $200 and quickly became one of the standout J3 colorways of that year. Named after the light-skinned horse, the shoe trades the usual tumbled leather for a Light Orewood Brown suede upper. Brown elephant print wraps the toe and heel. The collar and tongue come in a tan perforated nubuck. Metallic Gold Jumpman logos on the tongue and heel catch light without being flashy. Sail midsole gives it that aged, lived-in warmth. Grey rubber outsole underneath.

Material quality on this one is a step above typical J3 releases. The suede has a nice nap and the brown tones shift slightly under different lighting. Came with special packaging and extra laces. Warm earth tones make this an easy daily wear with jeans, khakis, or even tailored trousers. Find this and the full lineup on the Jordan 3 reps page. More picks at replica shoes.
