Jordan Brand is launching a new Air Jordan 3 Retro OG "Sail / Black / Fire Red" with the nickname "World’s Best Dad" during the Summer of 2026.
Although it is too early to talk about an official release date, we already have information about a new Air Jordan release from 2026. According to several internal documents, it appears the brand is launching an Air Jordan 3 "World’s Best Dad" during the Summer of 2026. The release information was published exclusively on Sneaker Market in collaboration with zSneakerHeadz and Sneaker Files.
The pair comes with product code IF4396-103 (adult sizes) and the "Sail/Black/University Red/Pale Ivory/Palomino" color scheme. We expect the model to look exactly like in the image shown below. The model features color-blocking very similar to the Air Jordan 4 Retro "Flight Club". The pair also comes with Nike Air branding on the heel. For now, the brand has not confirmed the release rumors. In general, Nike avoids confirming rumors about limited-edition releases. We expect the new model to release during the Summer of next year, most likely during May 2026.
When is Air Jordan 3 Retro OG “World’s Best Dad” releasing?
The Air Jordan 3 Retro OG “World’s Best Dad” is releasing during the Summer of 2026 on Nike.com and at select Air Jordan Retro partner stores. The release date has not yet been confirmed by the brand. However, we already know that the model is part of the Nike Summer 2026 seasonal lineup. As a result, the pair will release between April and June 2026. Based on its nickname, we expect the model to drop on May 10, 2026, to celebrate Father’s Day. Check out the first image of the new model below as we wait for more release details.
