We’re still months away before winter officially rolls around, but we’re already getting a preview of what sneakers Jordan Brand is dropping for the cold weather later this year.

Newly leaked images from @Solebyjc on Instagram show a first look at the Air Jordan 3 SE “Winterized” ahead of the shoe’s purported October release. The brand gives the popular silhouette a winterized upgrade by adding what appears to be water-resistant mesh underlays on the leather-based upper. The shoe also replaces the traditional elephant print overlays on the heel counter and toe, while a sail midsole and a grey outsole complete the look underneath.

Per @zSneakerheadz on Instagram, the “Winterized” Air Jordan 3 will be released on Oct. 8 for $210 but official details have not yet been announced by the brand.
