Jordan Brand is dressing the Air Jordan 3 up for the colder months. The "Fireside" colorway releases October 3rd for $205, exclusively in women's sizing, with the style code CK9246-200.
Brown covers nearly the entire shoe, running across the tumbled leather upper and midsole alike. Suede panels wrap the tongue and collar, adding some texture against the smoother leather base. Elephant print hits the toe and heel, staying true to the model's classic details and giving the shoe some depth.
White accents show up on the tongue and heel, both carrying small Jumpman logos instead of the usual Nike Air branding. A tan rubber sole finishes the look, keeping everything grounded in warm, earthy tones from top to bottom. The whole look gives off a chocolate, warm vibe.
Also an extra set of pale pink laces comes packed in the box. That detail nods to Travis Scott's past Jordan collaborations, which have leaned on similar lace swaps before, giving longtime fans an easy detail to spot.
Overall between the color palette and those laces, this pair fits right into Jordan Brand's growing lineup of cozy, cold-weather retros.
Air Jordan 3 "Fireside"
The Air Jordan 3 has stayed one of Jordan Brand's most reworked silhouettes all year. Tinker Hatfield's original 1988 design keeps finding new life through colorways like this one, decades after it first released.
"Fireside" slots in nicely alongside other seasonal releases already on the calendar. Pairs like the Air Jordan 12 "Eggnog" and Air Jordan 3 "Santa" have leaned on that same wintry, fireside feeling in years past.
Women's-exclusive Jordan 3 releases have also picked up steam recently. Giving this colorway to that market fills a gap that's often overlooked on bigger retro drops, especially during the busy fall season.
With its warm color story and small nods to past Travis Scott pairs, "Fireside" should stand out once the holiday release season fully kicks in.
