Teyana Taylor is sprinting into 2026 with a victory pose. One week she’s onstage collecting trophies, the next she’s back in her comfort zone, talking sneakers and culture like she never left the block. Awards shows may love her, but you get the sense she’d rather be in a pair of Jordans than a pair of heels.
On March 7, her Air Jordan 3 “Concrete Rose” drops for a reported $280, and if you saw those early mock-ups floating around months ago, forget them. This isn’t that. Jordan Brand first teased the collab in January on Instagram, but sneakerheads weren’t satisfied with a quick preview. They wanted texture. They wanted close-ups. They wanted receipts.
Now that the full reveal is here, the comments section says it all. “Ohhh gotta get these. 3s are my favorite and my brand color scheme.” “Yikes!! I need these!” And the most relatable panic-buy energy of them all: “Ima b p**sed if I don’t own these.”
The Air Jordan 3 arrives dipped in Fir green leather, tonal from toe to heel, ditching the traditional elephant print in favour of a cleaner upper. Cement Gray still peeks through, but it doesn’t dominate. Metallic Gold eyelets add shine, and a gold rose chain hangs like jewelry you didn’t know you needed. There’s a removable thorned vine wrapped around the shoe and spiky laces that refuse to romanticize anything. A Fire Red rose hits the tongue. A Gum Brown outsole keeps the pair grounded. Even the bottom nods to cracked concrete, tying directly into her “A Rose That Grew In Harlem” identity.
The messaging leans into growth. “This collection represents the evolution and maturity of a woman and her relationship with love –shaped by resilience, growth, and the work put in. It’s a celebration of owning her greatness — of getting everything she wanted beyond the status quo, all while staying true to her roots,” reads the official press statement shared with BLACK ENTERPRISE. Another line adds: “The look arrives at a pivotal moment in Teyana’s career, underscoring her evolution from multihyphenate creative to awards-recognized actress, while also highlighting Jordan Brand’s expanding influence beyond the court and into cultural storytelling.”
This marks her second capsule with Jordan Brand, following 2023’s Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2 “A Rose From Harlem.” She joined the Jordan family 12 years ago. That’s not a cameo. That’s tenure.
The “Concrete Rose” feels personal. Less red carpet, more real life. And you can grab your pair on SNKRS if you’re quick enough.
