Jordan Brand appears locked in on one colourway for 2026: the bred (black and red). You’ll spot it everywhere, from the Air Jordan 1 to newer silhouettes. Sneakerheads in Cape Town or anywhere else will feel it. The Air Jordan 1 “Bred” nods to ’85 roots while the Air Jordan 4 keeps that OG paint job but modern comfort. Rumours even point to a high-top mix nobody saw coming. If you’re into the classics but want fresh twists, this year’s bred drops might be the ones you chase.
Air Jordan 4 OG “Bred”
Another retro icon is back in 2026. The “Bred” Jordan 4 will be up for grabs in full family sizing this November.
Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline”
Expect the Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline” to release on May 23rd this year. The design features dark black uppers with red highlighting the model’s signature eyelets and Jumpman overlay. Find out more about the Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline”.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned”
Sneakerheads of all ages and sizes can look forward to a low-top release of the “Banned” Jordan 1 colourway for summer. JB have added a red “X” marking at the heel as a nod to the 2011 high-top release. Find out more about the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned”.
Air Jordan 40 “Black/Infrared”
The Jordan 40 has given its best impersonation of the popular “Black/Infrared” AJ6 colourway. Pairs are available via Nike and select retailers for $205 USD. Unsurprisingly, sizes are selling out fast.
Air Jordan 6 “Bin 23”
The revival of JB’s “Bin 23” series has kicked off with one very sleek Jordan 6 design. Think dark colours, premium materials, and the series’ signature wax seal stamped on the heel. To make sure these kicks stay premium, the Jumpman team have included wooden shoe trees and dust bags.
Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 “Black”
Levi’s black denim and leather Jordan 3 is expected to drop on the 21st of Feb via Nike SNKRS. These kicks will set you back $230 USD.
Air Jordan 6 “Infrared Salesman”
Complete family sizing of the Air Jordan 6 Retro “Infrared Salesman” is available on Nike.com. The colour blocking is inspired by a sample of the “Black/Infrared” AJ6 from 1999. JB have even leaned further into the inspiration by adding a sample tag and a “Not For Resale” stamp on the inner collar.
Jordan Spizike Low “Black Cement”
The famed “Black Cement” Air Jordan colourway has landed on the Spizike Low. This colourway is currently available to purchase via the Nike site and select retailers in full family sizing.
Air Jordan 1 Low G Spiked “Bred”
Golfers can hit the green with confidence in the Air Jordan 1 Low G Spiked “Bred”. Even better, these golf-ready sneaks have removable spikes so you just replace them once worn out. More wear out of your $175 USD investment.
Air Jordan 1 Low “Lucky Cat”
If you need a little extra luck this year, then you may want to grab the Air Jordan 1 Low “Lucky Cat” in Feb. The design is inspired by the Maneki Neko, the waving cat figurine said to bring wealth and good fortune. Pairs feature black denim and leather, red forefoot overlays and the cutest little details, from little bell charms to an embroidered cat at the tongue.
Jordan Luka 5 “Bred”
There will be plenty of black-and-red kicks for sneakerheads to get their hands on in 2026, including the recent release of the Jordan Luka 5. Pairs are available on the Nike site for $135 USD.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Laser”
The Jumpman team are prepping a brand new laser-cut AJ1 sneaker for 2026. Though official images have yet to surface, the shoe is expected to boast a predominantly black colour scheme with laser-etched detailing across the entire upper. Prepare for a release in August.
SoleFly x Air Jordan 5 “Black”
SoleFly is back with another Jordan collab planned for the holiday season. This time, they’re adding their flavour to the Jordan 5. Expect some Miami-inspired details to make the cut.
