Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: the World Cup moment is something everyone wants a piece of. Soccer aesthetics cresting as the showcase kicks off only means that companies are going extra hard as the June kickoff nears. Jordan Brand is now set to get on the board, again leveraging their vaunted Retro roster, as news of the Air Jordan 3 “Brazil” begins percolating.

Longtime leak aficionados know the drill by now: early renderings of this shoe are extremely unofficial, and the color codes are the only thing truly tied down, in this case, a prideful combo of “Racer Blue/Lucky Green/Blue Void/Varsity Maize.” The only other confirmed detail is Nike Air branding on the heel. Of course, Jordan completionists will clock that this isn’t the first time the Jumpman has taken to Brazil. Peel back about a decade in the brand’s history for the Air Jordan 6 “Brazil” (and an associated Jordan CP3.VII) minted to honor the World Cup host nation.

Whether this will indeed be a geographic exclusive or if it’s just a colorway intended to honor the South American country is currently unclear. However, the Air Jordan 3 has been building as a platform for either one; from the Seoul 2.0 released in 2025, to a suddenly deep category of region-locked releases, spread across the current Levi’s Jordan 3 festivities and the still unrevealed Jordan 3 “Middle East.” Though info on who exactly they’re referring to is scant, Sneaker Files also shares that we should expect collaborations to flank this pair as Beaverton’s World Cup efforts kick into high gear.

For now, get familiar with at least the palette at play via the mock-up images ahead. The Air Jordan 3 “Brazil” is currently queued up for May 16, 2026; keep our Jordan Release Dates 2026 page within reach for more info on this one as it comes to light.
