Jordan Brand is already loading the sleigh. The Air Jordan 3 “Santa” lands November 21 in grade school sizing, and it is one of the most committed holiday themes I have seen from the Jumpman in years. This is a kids exclusive, so all the adult sneakerheads are going to have to live through their kids on this one.
The colorway pulls straight from Saint Nick’s outfit. University Red leather covers nearly the whole upper, with darker Gym Red wrapping the toe and heel. The tongue and eyestays come in white, black laces sit on top, and a red Jumpman is stitched on the tongue. It is Christmas without needing a single word of explanation.
The best detail is around the ankle. A fuzzy black lining is meant to mimic Santa’s boots, which is the kind of texture play you almost never see on a Jordan 3. Kids shoes usually get the boring version of a theme, but this pair went all in.
My favorite easter egg is on the insoles. They feature the Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” pulled from Nike’s 1985 Christmas ad, the one with Santa dangling his feet by the fireplace in Jordans. That is a 41 year old reference hiding inside a 2026 kids shoe, and I love that somebody on the design team cared enough to include it.
Down below you get a white midsole with the visible Air unit and a black rubber outsole. The heel adds a gold Jumpman with AIR lettering on a black panel, a small premium touch for a $155 grade school release. Preschool runs $95 and toddler sizes are $80 if you have smaller feet in the house.
The style code is DM0967-601 and the release is set for November 21 at 10 AM ET through Nike SNKRS and select Jordan retailers. Adults get the Jordan 3 “Not Nice” the same day, so the whole family can eat on release morning.
