The Katrina Air Jordan 3 was a special edition Air Jordan 3 that was designed by Jordan Brand exclusively for a charity auction to support the relief efforts from Hurricane Katrina.

This White and Red sample edition of the Air Jordan 3 was produced back in 2006 and was highly popular by a lot of sneakerheads. The shoe offers somewhere between a combination of the “Fire Red” and “Cement” Air Jordan 3s, but this particular colorway never released to the public.

For 2018, Jordan Brand will be celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Air Jordan 3, which will include a retro release of the “Katrina” colorway. Dressed in a White, Cement Grey, Black and Fire Red color scheme. Not only will it be the first public release, but the shoe will not include “Nike Air” on the back heels.
