J Balvin Air Jordan 3 Rio releases May 22, 2024
J Balvin x Air Jordan 3 Rio official release date is set for May 22, 2024
The highly anticipated J Balvin x Air Jordan 3 Rio is now slated for an official release in 2024. As more details surface, including the inspiration behind the design and hidden details, sneakerheads eagerly await its arrival. While not all details have been fully disclosed, enthusiasts can expect more information to emerge closer to the summer release date.

The J Balvin Air Jordan 3 Rio is a tribute to his son named Rio
Named after his son Rio, born in June 2021, the J Balvin x Air Jordan 3 Rio boasts a striking Black, Solar Flare, and Total Crimson Abyss color scheme. The design features a Black leather base with Dark Grey/Black elephant print overlays on the toe and heels, a gradient midsole and outsole, and translucent heel tabs showcasing J Balvin's signature smiley logo on the right heel and Nike Air branding on the left heel. Additionally, design elements paying homage to J Balvin's son Rio will be incorporated, although these details have yet to be revealed.

Diving into the details of the Rio colorway
While the "Rio" J Balvin x Air Jordan 3 is expected to predominantly feature a black color scheme complemented by "Solar Flare" and "Total Crimson Abyss" accents, the exact color blocking remains unknown despite mock-up depictions.


Continuing collaborations with Jordan Brand and J Balvin
J Balvin and Jordan Brand's partnership began in 2020 with the "Colores y Vibras" Air Jordan 1 High. Last year, they further expanded their collaborative efforts with a light-up Air Jordan 2 inspired by J Balvin's mental health journey. In 2023, Jordan Brand released the J Balvin Air Jordan 3 Medellín Sunset, and in 2024 we now have the J Balvin Air Jordan 3 Rio. Because of the numerical order the releases have been going by, is it possible that we will see a J Balvin Jordan 4 next?
