Air Jordan 3: the codes behind each colourway, and the pairs a shop actually has
· · By Redacción HYPEIBIZA
One colourway of the Air Jordan 3 can exist in four size runs at once, each on its own style code. Reading the code tells you which grade is in the box before you open the listing.
On 23 September 2026, in our catalogue the Air Jordan 3 was one model, filed as Jordan 3 Retro, holding thirty-two pairs we can name. They differ by more than colourway. Some are cut for adults, some for women, and three more grades sit underneath: grade school, pre-school and toddler. The colourway name changes with the grade, and so does the style code. Shop listings and our catalogue agree on the code, so learn to read it.
What we hold, and under what name
On 23 September 2026, each named pair had a shop listing or a date in our release calendar. All belonged to Jordan 3 Retro. The words after that model name distinguished each version. The product blocks retain only usable matches and show current offers.
- Adult pairs carry no marker at all. The name is the name, and the code is the one the shop shows.
- Women's pairs are marked (Women's), and in our catalogue they sit on their own prefixes rather than sharing the adult ones.
- Grade school, pre-school and toddler pairs are marked (GS), (PS) and (TD) in brackets at the end of the name.
- A collaboration is named at the front (Free The Youth, Levi's, Teyana Taylor) and the grade marker still sits at the back.
One colourway, four codes
Three colourways in our catalogue run the whole ladder: adult, grade school, pre-school and toddler. Take True Blue in the table below. The last three digits are identical in all four of its codes. What changes is the prefix, and the prefix is the grade. The same is true of World's Best Dad and of Family Affair. The three together show the pattern clearly enough to use.
Three runs, four grades each, straight out of our catalogue. The code is data, so it is not translated; the products below carry today's offers.

Style code: IF4396-104
The adult True Blue, IF4396-104. The -104 tail is the colourway, not the size run.

View productLearn the three-digit tail as the colourway and you can place a pair you never saw. The tail -104 is True Blue, -103 is World's Best Dad and -202 is Family Affair. The prefixes hold across every run, one per grade. A listing for Air Jordan 3 True Blue with no grade says less than the code on the box. Pre-school or toddler is not something to find out at the doorstep.
The pairs a shop is listing today
The blocks below show today's offers. The runs that reached deepest into the size ladder are the ones still around in the most grades. True Blue and World's Best Dad both survive as adult, grade-school, pre-school and toddler pairs. So a household buying two sizes is often looking at the same colourway twice, on two different codes. Comparing them properly takes both codes, not both names.
The women's pairs work the other way round. Sports Renaissance, Orange Citrus, TEX Starfish, Concrete Rose and WNBA Desert Camo are women's-only in our catalogue. They sit on their own prefixes (CK9246, IH7694, IF3097, HM4301), and none has a grade-school or toddler sibling. If you want a pair in a women's size and a child's, check that first. Some runs give you both and some give you one.
Each page names the shops that have that code and shows today's offers. The name on the tile is ours; the code under it is the one the shops use.
What is only a date so far
On 23 September 2026, nine pairs in this list had no shop listing yet. Each had a date in our release calendar, the field the marketplaces publish and our release pages print. Those dates move, so take them as the current plan, not an announcement from anyone. We show the date and an honestly empty page rather than something we cannot check. That page fills itself the moment a shop we check lists the pair.

On 23 September 2026, the near dates are thin: one pair each in October, November and December. Then the model goes quiet until February, followed by a run of six across the spring. The codes change with the dates: IF4396, which carries two pairs a shop has at that date, is also the prefix on the November date. Most 2027 entries arrive on prefixes we hold no live pair under. The exception is the women's Purple Haze pair in April, whose prefix already carries live pairs.
How to use this
- Search by the full style code, prefix and all. It is the only field the shops and our catalogue spell the same way.
- Read the prefix before the price: DM0966 is pre-school, DM0967 is grade school, DM0968 is toddler, and the CK9246 and IH7694 runs are women's.
- The Jordan 3 Retro hub holds every pair of the model we list in one place. The Jordan release page carries what is merely dated.
- On a pair that has a date and no listing, waiting costs you nothing. A run several shops end up listing is the one worth comparing. A run only one shop ever lists is the one to take when you see it.
