The Air Jordan 3 continues to evolve.

If you are a big fan of the Air Jordan 3, then you have been subjected to some truly special shoes over the last few years. Overall, this is one of the best Jumpman sneakers ever. It was the first sneaker that Tinker Hatfield developed for Michael Jordan, and it was certainly a great start. In fact, this is the shoe that helped Michael Jordan stay with Nike. Had he left, Nike wouldn't have become the success they are now. Consequently, the Jordan 3 remains in high regard amongst both executives of the brand, and the sneakerheads themselves.

Although there have been plenty of colorways over the years, Jordan Brand is always looking to develop more. After all, why put restrictions on such an incredible shoe? Sneakerheads are always looking to add new Jordan 3s to their collections, and Jumpman wants to please the crowd. Subsequently, there have been numerous Jordan 3 teasers so far this year. Plenty of great Jordan 3s are rumored for the Summer, including this "Palomino" model which can be seen below.

"Palomino" Air Jordan 3

Thanks to the Instagram sneaker accounts @zsneakerheadz, we have a fresh look at the Air Jordan 3 "Palomino." At this time, all we have to go off of is a photoshop rendering, however, these are usually fairly accurate. Firstly, the sneaker will feature an all-over white leather upper. From there, the elephant print at the front and back will be brown. Lighter brown is subsequently found on the tongue and the cuff. Finally, we get a metallic gold Jumpman logo on the tongue, which helps bring this entire look together. It is a great neutral look that will be perfect for those Fall months.

As for the release date, these are rumored to be dropping on August 19th for $200 USD. For now, however, this is a rumor, so there definitely could be some changes. Either way, this is a great offering that we will continue to track over the coming months. That said, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. Additionally, let us know what you think of these, down in the comments below.
