The Air Jordan 3 "Not Nice" Releases November 2026
Quick Summary
- The Air Jordan 3 "Not Nice" released November 21st, 2026 for $215 via Nike and select retailers.
- Black cracked leather and elephant print in black and red create a coal-themed upper referencing Jordan's competitive nature.
- Insoles feature a naughty-or-nice scroll listing Jordan's playoff opponents crossed off in red, tying the design to his career.
Jordan Brand is releasing a Christmas-themed Air Jordan 3 this November with the "Not Nice" colorway, a build that leans into the coal-instead-of-presents side of the holiday and connects it directly to Michael Jordan's competitive legacy. The concept frames Jordan as a figure who handed out disappointment rather than gifts, and the details woven throughout the shoe make that narrative explicit.
Black cracked leather covers most of the upper, giving the surface a rough, coal-like texture that anchors the holiday theme. Elephant print wraps the toe and heel in a mix of black and red, a nod to the classic Air Jordan 3 detailing rendered in a darker, more aggressive palette. Raised stitching forms the Jumpman logo on the tongue, and Nike Air branding appears on the heel tab to complete the construction. The insoles carry the most pointed storytelling element: a list styled after Santa's naughty or nice scroll, cataloguing Jordan's playoff history from his "Last Shot" against Utah back through early battles with Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics. Opponents appear crossed off in red, with notes attached to specific career moments.
