First Look at Air Jordan 3 Mexico “El Vuelo”
Mexico City has emerged as one of Latin America’s top fashion and sneaker capitals in the 2020s. Major brands now choose the city for exclusive drops. Jordan Brand continues with this design inspired by the country’s legendary lucha libre wrestling. First Look at Air Jordan 3 Mexico “El Vuelo”.
A Sneaker That Honors Mexican Wrestling Heritage
In 2024, Jordan Brand launched the Air Jordan 5 “El Grito” to celebrate Mexico’s War of Independence. Now, it shifts focus to the electrifying world of lucha libre. This September 2025 release combines premium craftsmanship with bold cultural references.
The Air Jordan 3 Mexico “El Vuelo” showcases a jagged-edge leather overlay with snakeskin textures. These details echo the masks worn by iconic wrestlers. Red exotic leather covers the toe-guard and heel-guard. Green accents on the ankle collar complete the Mexican flag’s colors. Metallic gold appears on the Jumpman logo at the heel and on the tongue, giving the shoe a striking finish.
Details That Tell a Story
Importantly, Jordan Brand’s storytelling goes beyond the shoes. The custom shoebox takes cues from Mexico City’s colorful wrestling posters and classic newspaper ads. Inside the tongue, the phrase “Más vale maña que fuerza” — meaning “brains are better than brawn” — pays homage to the clever tactics celebrated in lucha libre.
Release Date and Where to Buy
The Mexico El Vuelo by Air Jordan 3 will release in September 2025. Expect it on Nike SNKRS, at select Jordan Brand retailers, and through exclusive Mexican outlets. With cultural depth, eye-catching design, and a premium build, this sneaker is set to become one of the year’s most anticipated drops.
