The Air Jordan 2/3 Model Gets a Black and Rust Pink Hue

— April 22, 2025 — Fashion
Nike introduces a look at a new tonal iteration of the Air Jordan 2/3 sneaker model with the launch of a black and Rust Pink colorway palette. Set to join the roster for the brand's Summer 2025 capsule, the shoe retains an understated look with a smooth black upper made from premium nubuck materials.

This matches the black outsole unit, which creates a stealthy and harmonious design. Some accents of Rust pink make their way onto the heel clip, the tongue logo, and the midfoot trim -- it also continues to parts of the outsole as well. The Anthrcite heel clips sharpen up the aesthetics of the shoe and round out the hybrid model for Summer.
