The cheapest new Air Jordan 3 “Desert Elephant” in sizes 8 to 12 now costs $139 in size 9.5. That is up 26% from a week ago, when a size 9 was listed at $110. The size 9 listing is gone, and the cheapest size 9 now asks $159.
Size 9.5 was also $139 a week ago. It sits $61 under the $200 retail, so if you wear a 9.5, the pair is a deal.
How the price got here
Since our checks began on September 29, the cheapest pair in sizes 8 to 12 has changed twice:
- Sep 29: $122 (first check)
- Oct 1: $110
- Oct 31: $139
So $110 was the low since September 29. Sizes 9 and 9.5 have each been listed as low as $110, but neither costs that now.
Every size from 8 to 12
All nine sizes from 8 to 12 have a listing, and every one sells under retail. After size 9.5, the next cheapest are sizes 9 and 10 at $159, then size 8 at $160. Sizes 11.5 and 12 sit close to retail at $195 and $197. The table shows each size now, a week ago, against retail and at its lowest since September 29.
