The Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 “A Rose From Harlem” brings detachable rose vines and bold detailing to the classic silhouette.

The Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 “A Rose From Harlem” blends innovation with storytelling in a striking black-based design. This new colorway celebrates Taylor’s Harlem roots and artistic voice.

It also introduces something never seen before on a Jordan silhouette: detachable rose vines that wrap around the midfoot. These thorns are removable, made from green plastic, and provide an expressive option for customization.

Red Jumpman branding hits the heel while a bold red liner enhances the rose motif. Black tumbled leather dominates the upper, with classic elephant print overlays anchoring the look in Jordan history.

Hints of green appear around the eyelets for a subtle floral finish. Underfoot, a white midsole and gum outsole keep the palette grounded.

The Air Jordan 3 is one of the most important silhouettes in the Jordan line. Designed by Tinker Hatfield in 1988, it helped Michael Jordan stay with Nike thanks to its revolutionary style and visible Air unit.

Over the years, it's become a canvas for collaboration and cultural moments, just like this one.

This Air Jordan 3 features a black tumbled leather upper with green accents on the eyelets and bold red Nike Air branding on the heel. The removable rose vines wrap around the midfoot and heel, adding a unique floral flair.

Elephant print overlays sit atop a crisp white midsole and gum outsole. Inside, a vibrant red liner rounds out the Harlem-inspired design.

In the photos provided, Taylor’s vision comes to life through thorns, textures, and color. The vines are optional but bold. The rest of the shoe stays classic. It’s Harlem meets heritage, and it works.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 “A Rose From Harlem” will be released in the spring of 2026. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be announced closer to when they are released.
