One of the most iconic sneakers of all-time is the Air Jordan 3 and over the years, there have been plenty of dope colorways and collabs. Many will remember DJ Khaled's blue "We The Best" effort from 2018 and while that shoe was extremely limited, it seems as though Jordan Brand wants to make things up to fans by dropping a normal version of the colorway. Over the past few months, we have seen teasers of a "Varsity Royal" Jordan 3 and now, the official images are finally here.

As you can see from the photos below, the shoe has a blue leather upper with black and grey highlights throughout. From there, we have elephant print hits on the back heel and on the toe box. If you're a Jordan fan, you know that the elephant print is an iconic part of any Jordan 3. The back heel will feature Jumpman logos so those who were hoping for Nike Air branding will have to look elsewhere.

These are set to drop on June 26th for $190 USD so stay tuned for any updates in case this tentative date changes. Also, let us know in the comments below what you think. Are these a must-cop?
