The Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” Drops May 31 at LVRG + Capitalist

From flawed to flawless — evolution is never perfect, and that’s exactly what makes greatness unforgettable. On Saturday, May 31, 2025 at 10:00 AM EST, the journey of becoming the flyest takes shape in the form of the Air Jordan 3 Retro “Rare Air” (Style #IB8967-004) - $210. This limited release will be available both online at lvrg-capitalist.com and in-store at our Snellville, GA boutique.

Imperfection Turned Icon

The “Rare Air” isn’t just a sneaker — it’s a statement. Drawing inspiration from early Air Jordan samples that featured inconsistencies and manufacturing “mistakes,” this release embraces those once-flawed elements and elevates them into deliberate design details. These quirks, once considered errors, are now symbols of exclusivity — a nod to the process that turns prototypes into legends.

This AJ3 reimagines the classic '88 silhouette with a remix of premium touches and storytelling-first design cues. Gone is the traditional elephant print — replaced by luxurious grey suede overlays that deliver a fresh, textured take. The mirrored Nike Air heel branding adds a one-off effect, reinforcing the concept of reflection, rarity, and nonconformity. It’s subtle rebellion, done with sophistication.

Key Features of the Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air”:

• Grey suede overlays replace traditional elephant print

• Mirrored Nike Air branding on the heel tabs

• Premium black tumbled leather upper with tonal detailing

• Red hits on eyelets and lining for bold contrast

• Visible Air unit in the heel for classic cushioning

• Mismatch packaging included to underscore the rare, sample-inspired theme

The result? A release that feels archival and futuristic all at once — ideal for those who don’t just follow trends, but define them.
