It’s been a big year for Jordan Brand and its fans. With the Jumpman family celebrating 40 years of making sneakerhead dreams come true, they’ve pulled out some grail releases from the Jordan archives to mark the occasion. We’re talking everything from the “Banned” or “Bred” Jordan 1 highs to the “Taxi” 12s. Take a look at every Jordan grail from 2025 below.
Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred”
Jordan Brand brought back the famous (or infamous) Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred” for its 40th anniversary celebrations. Insider info suggests another release will be announced during the 2025 holiday season. Read more about the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Bred”.
Air Jordan 1 High “Shattered Backboard”
Everybody loves a Jordan colourway with a story. This one takes fans back to the time when MJ shattered a backboard during a Nike exhibition game in Italy. The orange, black, and white colour scheme is inspired by his uniform from that game. These kicks were a smash hit with fans back in 2015, and they still are now. Read more about the Air Jordan 1 High “Shattered Backboard”.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago”
Jordan Brand’s 40th celebrations would not have been the same without the return of the “Chicago” colourway. The white, red, and black look is practically synonymous with the Jordan 1 and MJ’s time with the Bulls. Of course, with all the high-top AJ 1 offerings for 2025, the Jumpman team chose to bring back the low-top version last seen in 2016. Given how pricey these became on the resale market, we’d say it’s a good thing they’re coming back this year. Read more about the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago”.
Air Jordan 3 “Seoul 2.0”
More exclusive colourways brought back to celebrate the Jumpman’s 40th milestone. Sure, the Korean-exclusive Jordan 3 was reimagined for its wider release, but the aged aesthetic only made them more desirable in our humble opinion. Read more about the Air Jordan 3 “Seoul 2.0”.
Undefeated x Air Jordan 4
The Undefeated x Jordan 4 was the first-ever collaboration for the Jumpman, so it’s a pretty special one. The coveted sneaker made a major return in 2025…with some minor changes. But it’s still one of the best Jordan 4 collabs ever. Read more about the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4.
Air Jordan 4 “White Cement”
Everyone loves an original colourway, and the “White Cement” Jordan 4s definitely have a place amongst the best of the best. Read more about the Air Jordan 4 “White Cement”.
Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat”
The “Black Cat” colourway is easily one of the most versatile colourways in the Jordan lineup. Add to that a model as loved as the 4s, and you know you’ve got a winner on your hands. Read more about the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat”.
Air Jordan 5 “Grape”
The Grape 5s have a special place in sneaker and pop culture. This was THE pair every ’90s kid wanted after seeing Will Smith rock them on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. That nostalgia just never goes away. Read more about the Air Jordan 5 “Grape”.
Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo”
The “Tokyo” Jordan 5s seemed like one of those grail releases sneakerheads could only dream of getting their hands on. Pairs were released only at the then-newly opened Tokyo 23 store and select Japanese retailers (in limited numbers at that). It was a nice 40th birthday treat for Jordan fans around the world, who finally had somewhat of a chance to try and cop these. Read more about the Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo”.
Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny”
Jordan 8s have less than a handful of releases every year, so every colourway dropped feels special. That said, this year, JB brought out the heavy guns with the return of the Bugs Bunny 8s. The last time these Jordan grails arose from the archives was back in 2013. Read more about the Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny”.
Air Jordan 10 OG “Steel Grey”
MJ may never have liked the toe cap on the first Jordan 10 release, but his decision to scrap the design element from later colourways only made the detail that much more rare and sought-after. This year, Jordan Brand finally brought the Steel 10s back with the divisive feature. If you blinked, you would have missed it; they genuinely sold out so quickly. Read more about the Jordan 10 OG “Steel Grey”.
Air Jordan 10 “Shadow”
Though Jordan 10 fans weren’t treated to any special releases for the silhouette’s 30th anniversary last year, JB is making up for it with the release of two fan-fave colourways in 2025. One of the releases is the versatile “Shadow” colourway. Read more about the Air Jordan 10 “Shadow”.
Air Jordan 11 “Gamma”
A lot of Jordan fans slept on the “Gamma Blue” 11s when they dropped back in 2013. Of course, over the years, the colourway has somehow won over plenty of fans and made its way onto many lists of best Jordan 11 colourways. Read more about the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma”.
Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game”
A legendary basketball moment, tied to a legendary sneaker colourway. You know how the story goes. MJ helped the Chicago Bulls secure a spot in the 1997 NBA Finals despite being ill. He wore the black-and-red (a.k.a. “bred”) Jordan 12s for the game, and the “Flu Game” name stuck. Always good to welcome a fan fave colourway back. Read more about the Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game”.
Air Jordan 12 “Taxi”
Sneakerheads get not only one but two beloved Jordan 12 grails in one year. The “Taxi” 12s are expected to be released in November. You just can’t go wrong with an understated black-and-white look. Read more about the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi”.
