If you thought 2026 wouldn’t be just as stacked as 2025, think again. Jordan Brand has a number of enticing retro releases and must-have collaborations lined up for next year. Included in the mix are the “Wolf Grey” Jordan 5s, “Cherry” Jordan 13s, and Nigel Sylvester’s alternate “Brick by Brick” colourway. Yet there’s plenty more to look forward to, so check out the top 20 releases of 2026 (so far) below.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned”
A low-top version of the popular black and red “Banned” Jordan 1 colourway is set to drop in 2026. This iteration is rumoured to sport a red “X” on the heel inspired by the high-top release from 2011.
Union x Fragment x Air Jordan 1
Fragment Design and Union LA have more releases planned with Jordan Brand in 2026. Expect the same style as their 2025 design, but in three fresh colourways. Read more about the Fragment Design x Union LA x Air Jordan 1.
Air Jordan 3 “Orange Citrus”
Expect the Air Jordan 3 to drop in a fresh women’s exclusive colourway in April 2026. The sneaker sports the familiar white leather uppers with a burst of yellow on the elephant print, branding, inner lining and outsole. It’s the perfect colour combo to put a hop in your step next spring.
Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 “Alaska”
The Off White x Air Jordan 1 “Euro” will receive a wider release in 2026 under the name “Alaska”. The sneaker also replaces Off-White branding with a nod to Virgil Abloh on the quarter panels.
Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo”
Jordan Brand will continue bringing back sneaker hits from years past in 2026. One of the major releases for next year is the “Toro Bravo” AJ4s. The colourway was first released in 2013 and has since earned a spot as one of the best non-OG 4s in the Jumpman lineup. Still, sneakerheads will be watching to see if it comes back with “Nike Air” branding on the heel.
Air Jordan 4 “Sierra Red”
The upcoming Jordan 4 “Sierra Red” shares many a similarity with the “Varsity Red” Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 rumoured to release in 2025 for Jordan Brand friends and family. Both pairs feature clean white uppers with red details. However, the new colourway includes red edging running along the leather at the toe and lipstick marks behind the tongue and on the insoles. Read more about the Air Jordan 4 “Sierra Red”.
Air Jordan 5 “Sunset”
Jordan Brand is bringing back a women’s exclusive from the 2006 lineup. The “Sunset” colourway celebrates 20 years since its debut and will be released in close-to-original form as a way to mark the occasion.
Air Jordan 5 “Black/University Blue”
Another must-have Jordan marking 20 years with a fresh drop is the Air Jordan 5 “Black/University Blue”. This colourway is a little reminiscent of Awake NY’s collab from 2025, but with blue inner lining and none of the added branding and details.
Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Sail”
Nigel Sylvester’s Sail and Brick Orange Jordan 4 colourway has been rescheduled for a 2026 release. While sneakerheads were hoping to add these to their holiday 2025 wishlist, we’re glad to get a bit of a breather this year. Read more about the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Sail”.
Air Jordan 5 “White Metallic”
Jordan 5 fans can look forward to the return of the “White Metallic” colourway in 2026. These white and grey sneakers are expected to be available in the summer months with the switch to “Nike Air” branding on the heel.
Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey”
Another Jordan 5 release you’ll want to put on your must-have list for 2026 is the “Wolf Grey” colourway. These grey nubuck sneakers will be available in full family sizes early next year. Read more about the Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey”.
Air Jordan 6 “Reverse Infrared”
The “Reverse Infrared” Jordan 6 will be available in full family sizes next year. The design first appeared in Jordan Brand’s 1999 catalogue before being scrapped. Thankfully, fans will be able to cop a pair in spring 2026.
Air Jordan 9 “Flint Grey”
Another coveted retro release is on the cards for 2026. Jordan Brand is bringing back the “Flint Grey” 9s for the first time since their original release in 2002. Read more about the Air Jordan 9 ‘Flint Grey’.
The Air Jordan 11 Low “University Blue”
The fan-favourite “University Blue” Jordan 11 Low colourway will be back for summer 2026. It has been just under a decade since this low-top colourway released, but sneakerheads will definitely be glad for a chance to cop a fresh pair.
Air Jordan 13 “Cherry”
Jordan Brand have a few Jordan 13 releases up their sleeves for 2026, including the return of the white and red “Cherry” Jordan 13. Expect the sneakers to arrive in March, hopefully with OG tooling. Read more about the Air Jordan 13 “Cherry”.
Air Jordan 13 “Flint Grey”
Another Jordan 13 that will be a must-have for 2026 is the “Flint Grey” colourway. This will be the fifth time the navy, grey and white sneakers will be released, but hey, it’s one of the most loved colourways in the Air Jordan 13 lineup.
Air Jordan 14 “Black/University Blue”
The Jumpman team is bringing back the Air Jordan 14’s sleek “Black/University Blue” colourway for its 20th anniversary. Whether we can expect any updates or changes to the design remains to be seen, but consider this a golden opportunity to add a classic silhouette to your collection or replace any old, beaten pairs. Read more about the Air Jordan 14 “Black/University Blue”.
Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack “Green Spark”
If you remember the green Jordan Jumpman Jacks that La Flame wore to Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals, then this is your sign to mark your calendars for their release in March 2026. The shoe sports a black suede base with ‘Vapour Green’ highlights across the overlays. Read more about the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Green Spark”.
Air Jordan 3 OG “True Blue”
JB is bringing back an OG Jordan 3 colourway for 2026. The “True Blue” AJ3 is expected to return with Nike Air branding on the heel and will drop in a full family size run.
Air Jordan 4 “Tour Yellow”
Sneakerheads can look forward to another release of the “Tour Yellow” Jordan 4 from 2006. This Rare Air release came with the familiar detachable Jumpman patches on the tongue. However, whether Jordan Brand will be adding any special details (like the gold Rare Air branding from 2025’s Rare Air Jordan 4s) remains to be seen.
