SoleFly is back in the spotlight, this time with its first-ever public Air Jordan 3 collaboration. The Miami-based boutique unveiled the pair courtside during the Hurricanes vs. Notre Dame game, with co-founders Carlos Prieto and Daniel Hidalgo joined by former Canes stars Andre Johnson and Ed Reed all lacing up the unreleased kicks.
This isn’t SoleFly’s first dance with the AJ3. In 2014, the shop crafted a Florida Lottery–inspired version that never saw a public drop, instead becoming a legendary Friends & Family exclusive. That history makes this 2025 release all the more significant.
The design plays into Miami pride with a crisp white leather upper accented by a green toe cap, orange heel panel, and a vintage-tinted midsole reminiscent of the “Reimagined” line. Nike Air branding in green hits the heel, while subtle SoleFly touches—including a custom logo on the back tab and a branded hang-tag—round out the look. Three lace options (white, green, orange) offer a nod to versatility and team spirit.
As with all great SoleFly projects, local culture is at the heart of the design. Miami’s connection to sport, style, and energy is distilled into a sneaker that balances nostalgia with fresh execution. The restrained palette and premium details feel like a callback to the glory days of Jordan Player Exclusives, but with enough modern flair to stand on its own.
Like the recently revealed Air Jordan 3 El Vuelo, which paid homage to lucha libre culture, this SoleFly edition proves the AJ3 still has the range to celebrate regional and cultural storytelling. Where El Vuelo brought wrestling flair, SoleFly’s effort brings hometown pride—executed with a clean, understated edge that channels classic Jordan PEs.
A Holiday 2025 release is expected, with more details coming soon.
