Each Spring, Jordan Brand hosts their Classic showcase for upcoming high school players, traveling around the country every year to a new city. The showcase is on today, and has given us a close-up look at a “JB Classic” Air Jordan 3 PE for the student athletes.
Jordan Brand’s Classic event is upon us today. The annual event is a showcase for up and coming high school players to display their talent, and attracts some of the biggest young stars in the country. The event started back in 2002, the year in which Carmelo Anthony attended, and has come full circle this year with Anthony’s son participating in the game. Zion Williamson is another notable alumni of the event.
This year’s JB Classic is special. As we noted above, the event began in 2002, which makes the 2025 showcase the 23rd anniversary of the event, a landmark number when it comes to Jordan-related things. To honor the anniversary, the event is being held in same place where it started over two decades ago, Washington DC. Additionally, JB has crafted some special gear for the young men and women involved, including a player-exclusive pair of the Air Jordan 3. Riffing on the iconic “White Cement” style, this pair adds UNC blue for the eyelets and outsoles, as well as a dark navy blue heel tab with Nike Air branding. Yellowed midsoles are added underneath, with JB Classic branding on the tongues.
The limited-edition “JB Classic” pair of the Air Jordan 3 is likely a player-exclusive style, and will only be available to the high school athletes participating in today’s showcase event in Washington DC. Flipping the classic white cement look with blue accents, we are still hoping to see this stylish pair get a wider release in the near future.
