Jordan 3 Retro Not Nice

Jordan 3 Retro "Not Nice" – Holiday 2026

Part of Jordan Brand's Holiday 2026 collection, the Air Jordan 3 "Not Nice" (IF4396-001) is built around a naughty-list narrative — a darker counterpart to the festive Air Jordan 3 "Santa" releasing alongside it. The colorway runs Black/Challenge Red/Off Noir/Elemental Gold, giving Tinker Hatfield's iconic 1988 silhouette an intentionally aged, fire-scorched character that sets it apart from the typical seasonal drop.

The upper features crackled, distressed black nubuck with golden undertones and black panels, while ruby-red elephant print — a hallmark of the AJ3 lineage — wraps the toe and heel. An aged tan midsole, red Nike Air heel branding, and red tongue and lining accents reinforce the dark holiday theme. Hidden details round out the storytelling: "Not Nice" is stitched beneath the heel tab, and "Checked It Twice" text appears on the insoles — a nod to Santa's legendary list.
