About the release
Teyana Taylor is back with Jordan Brand and this time she is working on the Air Jordan 3. The Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 'Concrete Rose' is her second collaboration with the brand, building directly on the story she started with her 2023 Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2 'A Rose From Harlem'. That first project celebrated her Harlem roots. This one goes deeper, using the AJ3 silhouette to explore what it takes to get there.
The concept is built around the idea that a rose is more than its petals. The thorns matter too. Taylor debuted the project at her "No Thorns, No Rose" activation during NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, and the design reflects exactly that message. Every detail on this shoe, from the muted green leather upper to the removable rose vine attachments and the handwritten phrases inside the lining, connects back to a story about resilience, identity and growth.
Style code IF3097-300 carries a UK retail price of £205 and is set to release in the UK on Thursday 19 March 2026 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. You can also shop the Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 'Concrete Rose' directly on Side Kicks.

Release date and price
The Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 'Concrete Rose' releases in the UK on Thursday 19 March 2026 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. The US drop landed on 14 March, so the UK window follows shortly after.
UK retail is set at £205, with US pricing at $280. The premium price reflects the elevated materials, special edition packaging and the level of detail work throughout the shoe. It is one of the more ambitious Jordan collabs of the year from a construction standpoint, and the price point reflects that.
Design and details
The upper arrives in a rich Fir Green leather that gives the shoe a grounded, versatile base. The classic elephant print wraps the toe and heel in a matching dark green tone, keeping the AJ3's signature texture in place while the colourway does something far less conventional than the usual grey or black versions. The result is restrained but distinctive.
Metallic Gold eyelets run along the lacing, and Fire Red Nike Air branding hits the heel, keeping a strong visual anchor at the back of the shoe. A cement-textured midsole extends slightly onto the upper, a nod to the 'Concrete Rose' concept and the idea of beauty pushing through hard ground.
Inside, the lining carries handwritten phrases including "The World Is Different Here" and "Rose From Concrete", while the insoles are covered in rose petal graphics. These are the kind of touches that do not photograph loudly but reward the people who actually wear the shoe. The co-branded 'TEY' Jumpman tongue branding ties the identity together up top.
The shoe also releases in special packaging. A gold Jordan branded box includes a display window with a rose graphic and matching interior artwork that continues the narrative from the upper through to the unboxing experience.
The rose thorn accessory
The standout feature is the removable rose vine detail that wraps around the midfoot. The thorn pieces can be clipped off entirely for a cleaner look, but Taylor has confirmed that once removed they cannot be reattached. That is a deliberate design choice, not an oversight. It gives each owner a one-time decision to make about how they want to wear the shoe, and it makes every pair unique from the moment someone takes it out of the box. It is a smart concept that connects directly to the 'No Thorns, No Rose' theme.

About Teyana Taylor
Teyana Taylor is a singer, songwriter, director, actress and designer who grew up in Harlem, New York. Her first Jordan Brand collaboration, the Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2 'A Rose From Harlem', released in 2023 and established her floral design language with the brand. This Air Jordan 3 project is her second collab with Jumpman and her first time working on the AJ3 silhouette. She is one of the few collaborators who brings a consistent, evolving narrative across multiple releases rather than treating each project as a standalone drop.
Why this release matters
The Air Jordan 3 is one of the most significant silhouettes in the Jordan Brand archive. It was the first shoe Tinker Hatfield designed for Michael Jordan, and the model that introduced the visible Air unit and the Jumpman logo. It is also one of MJ's personal favourites. Putting a meaningful collaboration on this silhouette carries more weight than doing the same on a newer or less storied model.
Taylor's approach also separates this from standard Jordan collabs. The 'Concrete Rose' concept is not a surface-level theme. It runs through the material choices, the interior details, the packaging and the removable thorn feature. There is a clear point of view from start to finish, and that is exactly what makes the difference between a collaboration and a colourway with a name on it.
It also arrives alongside a matching apparel collection, giving the project a wider cultural footprint. For anyone following women led Jordan Brand collabs closely, this is the headline release of the spring window.
