Playing in the Jordan Brand Classic has its perks, and its most famous one has finally been revealed to the public.
The girls and boys playing in the annual high school all-star game will each get exclusive colorway editions of the Air Jordan 3 sneakers:
The design has taken its inspiration from the original "White Cement" colorway and was revealed in one of Washington DC's most iconic restaurants, Ben's Chili Bowl. The game will take place in Washington, DC, on Saturday, April 18.
There are a few changes to this Air Jordan 3 colorway from the original "White Cement," with the 2025 Jordan Brand Classic edition having a marbled blue mustache and lighter blue eyelets.
The tongue will also feature the annual all-star game's logo in its tongue, instead of the usual Air Jordan logo.
These shoes will only be given to those playing in the boys' and girls' games on Saturday, with the exclusive colorway not being released to the public.
However, it should be noted that after the game, these shoes may possibly hit the second-hand market, as previous Jordan Brand Classic-exclusive sneakers have. These second-hand player-exclusive shoes do sell for a premium though.
Previous Jordan Brand Classic exclusive shoes include an iridescent Air Jordan 1 Low during the 2022 edition, as well as an Air Jordan 10 from 2018.
