FAQs
When did the Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Cool Grey' originally release?
This specific retro version of the 'Cool Grey' colorway was released in February 2021.
What materials are used in the Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Cool Grey'?
The shoe features a Cool Grey Durabuck upper, genuine leather, and classic elephant print overlays on the forefoot and heel. It also includes hits of Sport Red and Orange Peel.
Does this model have Nike Air branding on the heel?
No, this 2021 rendition stays true to the 2007 version and features a Jumpman logo on the heel tab instead of traditional 'Nike Air' branding.
How do I clean the Durabuck material?
Use a specialized suede or nubuck brush to gently remove dirt and restore the texture. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for these materials.
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While the Air Jordan 3 offers cushioning and support, this retro is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For serious basketball performance, dedicated performance basketball shoes are recommended.
What is the typical fit of the Air Jordan 3?
The Air Jordan 3 generally fits true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape can vary, so trying them on or consulting detailed sizing charts is always advisable.
What is the difference between this 'Cool Grey' and other AJ3 colorways?
The 'Cool Grey' is distinguished by its predominant grey palette accented with pops of red and orange, along with the signature elephant print and specific heel branding. Other AJ3s feature different color schemes and material combinations.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes due to friction. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) into the shoe, especially under the insole, to absorb moisture and reduce friction.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure you have the correct fit, avoid over-tightening laces, and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Color transfer from accents
In rare cases, the colored accents might transfer onto lighter socks, especially when new or wet. Wear darker socks initially or consider a protective spray on the colored areas (test first).
Elephant print losing definition
Ensure the elephant print areas are cleaned gently with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaners that could wear down the texture.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on leather, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Suede/Durabuck Areas: Use a specialized suede brush to maintain texture and remove dirt. For stains, consider a suede cleaner.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and discoloration. Use shoe trees to maintain shape.
