Jordan Brand appears ready to bring back one of the Air Jordan 3s most memorable non-OG releases. The Air Jordan 3 “Do The Right Thing” is expected to return in Spring 2027 for its 20th anniversary, reviving a colorway that has remained a standout since its limited 2007 debut.
What made this pair stand out from the start was its connection to Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing, a film that still carries weight in both sneaker and culture discussions. The original release pulled from the movie’s artwork and arrived during Jordan Brand’s LS era, which gave it a more limited and lifestyle-driven feel. That mix of rarity, storytelling, and bold color blocking helped turn it into a standout Air Jordan 3 release.
Early expectations point to a retro that stays close to the 2007 version. That should mean a blue nubuck upper paired with matching elephant print overlays, white accents through the tongue and collar, and gold hits on the eyelets, heel branding, and midsole detailing. Green branding on the tongue is also expected to return, helping preserve the pair’s distinctive look. One detail still up in the air is the heel branding, as it has not yet been confirmed whether Jordan Brand will go with the original Jumpman logo or switch things up with Nike Air.
The timing also lines up perfectly. A 2027 return would mark 20 years since the sneaker first released, giving Jordan Brand another strong anniversary retro to build around.
Air Jordan 3 “Do The Right Thing” 2027 Release Date
As of now, the Air Jordan 3 “Do The Right Thing” is expected to release sometime in Spring 2027 through Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. More updates, including images and confirmed release details, should surface closer to launch.
