Following a first look at the upcoming Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 collaboration in November, in-hand shots of another style from the dual-brand collection are making the rounds.
After a blue-and-black pair was debuted by Spike Lee last month, the latest looks show what’s expected to be the collaboration’s Denim/Sail/Gym Red/Ocean Fog makeup in detail.
While both pairs feature predominantly denim-based uppers, the new Sail style uses a natural, undyed material instead of the indigo seen on the previous colorway. White perforated leather on the tongue, eyelets and heel replaces black seen on the blue pair worn by the legendary film director. Also new to the sail iteration are pony hair overlays at the toe and heel tab and a gum rubber outsole. The pair also features a thin, Nike Air-branded canvas heel tab instead of the model’s traditional plastic piece.

The new looks were shared by Leo Gamboa, vice president of merchandising and design collaborations at Levi’s, and multifaceted creative Cam Hicks.
Worn early in his career, the Air Jordan 3 was famously laced up by Michael Jordan during the 1988 NBA slam dunk contest. With its sleek leather build and exotic elephant print details, the shoe immediately caught on off the court as a street style fixture. Today, it lives on as a lifestyle favorite and is frequently chosen for collaborations.
Levi’s and Nike, Inc.’s Jordan Brand collaborations date back to a 2008 Air Jordan 1 release and have most notably included a three-sneaker Air Jordan 4 collection in 2018. This year, Nike and Levi’s released a trio of Air Max 95 OG Big Bubbles and a three-way collaboration with Japanese streetwear designer Nigo.
With two styles revealed thus far — although it’s not completely clear which of the three was worn by Lee, given their similar color descriptions —a third pair still looms ahead of the collection’s spring 2026 launch.
The style code for the Denim/Sail/Gym Red/Ocean Fog colorway pictured here is IR0912-400 and retail pricing of $225 is expected. The collaboration will be released from Nike’s Snkrs app, Levi’s and select retailers.
