The Air Jordan 3 "Varsity Royal" will look a lot like DJ Khaled's collaboration.

Perhaps one of the greatest Air Jordan sneakers of all time is Tinker Hatfield's infamous Jordan 3. The shoe came out all the way back in 1988 and a few years ago, Jordan Brand decided to put the shoe in their vault. In 2018, the Jordan 3 celebrated its 30th anniversary and that's when Jumpman decided to go back on their vault idea and bring the silhouette back into circulation. Since then, the Jordan 3 has been one of the most popular shoes on the market, and sneakerheads are always looking to get their hands on new colorways.

According to pyleaks, the Air Jordan 3 is about to receive a "Varisty Royal" colorway that is going to look a lot like DJ Khaled's collab sneaker from just a couple of years ago. Of course, the only difference will be the lack of Khaled "We The Best" branding.

The official look of the shoe remains unknown although we're sure this is a colorway fans will be interested in. Royal blue Jordans always play well to the crowd so we expect this model to be popular.

As for the rumored release date, it looks like these could be coming out as soon as June 25th of this year, for $190 USD.
