Jordan Brand and Ghana-based collective Free The Youth are set to release a collaborative Air Jordan 3 during the Holiday 2026 season.
Background
Free The Youth was founded in 2013 by Jonathan Coffie, Kelly Foli, Winfred Mensah, and Richard Kweku Ormano. Originally established to empower Ghanaian and African youth, the organization has since expanded into streetwear design and creative agency work. The collective's relationship with Jordan Brand began with a limited Friends & Family Air Jordan 1 Mid in late 2025, with a Free The Youth x Air Jordan 16 also scheduled for Summer 2026.
Design
The Air Jordan 3 features a Black base with a gradient upper transitioning through Pink Prime and Clear Jade tones. "FTY" branding appears on the heel, replacing the standard Nike Air logo — a detail historically reserved for Jordan Brand's most established collaborators. Official product images have not yet been released; current visuals are speculative mock-ups.
Style Code: IU0737-001
Colorway: Black/Black-Pink Prime-Clear Jade
Release Details
The Free The Youth x Air Jordan 3 is scheduled for a two-phase rollout. The first drop will take place on December 4, 2026, exclusively through Free The Youth in the EMEA region. A wider release follows on December 11, 2026, via Nike SNKRS and select NBHD retailers.
Retail pricing has not yet been announced.
