The Jordan 3 is one of the most iconic sneakers of all time. First released in 1988, the shoe was designed by legendary sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield and quickly became a hit with basketball fans and style-savvy consumers alike. Thanks to its innovative design and association with NBA superstar Michael Jordan, the shoe helped to cement Nike’s place as a leading sneaker brand. In recent years, Nike has continued to find ways to keep the Jordan 3 relevant, releasing a number of retro-inspired colorways that have been met with enthusiastic responses from sneakerheads around the world. The latest release, the Air Jordan 3 Dark Iris, builds on this tradition, offering a modern take on the classic silhouette that is sure to be a hit with fans of the original.
The shoe comes with a white tumbled leather upper and purple accenting on the perforated ankle collar, eyelets, and inner tongue. The purple hue is also used on the Jumpman logos on the tongue and midsole, giving the sneaker a fresh and modern look. Elephant print is still present on the toe and heel, paying tribute to the original design. If you’re interested in picking up a pair, refer to the details below.

Jordan 3 Dark Iris: Resale Value
You can clearly see from the chart above that every single pair sold resulted in a loss, except the size 7.5 that led to no gain or loss. This is a recurring thing with General Release Jordan 3’s. The last pair to drop, the Desert Elephant was subjected to the same treatment as most sizes were selling for up to 15% below the suggested MSRP. So if you were planning on flipping the Dark Iris 3, I hope this post will change your mind.
However, for those interested in the long term investment ( folks with investing capital), I’d say keep an eye on the shoe, especially if it is reselling below retail. And if you’re willing to wait for a minimum of two years, you might be able to reap some benefits as the shoe will certainly peak at $300 comes 2024.This is again great news for buyers, collectors, with enough patience, you’ll probably grab a pair below retail.
