Jordan 3 Retro J Balvin Rio

The Jordan 3 Retro J Balvin Rio, released in May 2024, celebrates the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro and the Colombian artist J Balvin’s connection to Brazil. This edition features a premium leather upper in black with iridescent panels that shimmer in different lighting, capturing the lively spirit of Rio. Classic elephant print overlays add texture and heritage, while yellow accents on the Jumpman logo and laces bring a vibrant pop of colour.

The shoe is crafted for comfort and durability with an Air-Sole unit in the midsole offering superior cushioning, and a durable rubber outsole delivering reliable traction. Design details include J Balvin’s iconic smiley face logo on the heel, reflective of his joyful and creative persona.

Merging true Jordan performance with a colourful cultural tribute, the Jordan 3 J Balvin Rio stands as a curated artifact of legacy and style.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
