There’s been a long list of Jordan grails that made a welcome return in 2025, but 2026 is looking to be just as epic…maybe even more so. A number of releases from next year’s lineup have already been leaked, and fans can look forward to everything from the “True Blue” Jordan 3s to the “Black/University Blue” Jordan 14s. Check out more of the grail Jordan releases to look forward to in 2026.
Virgil Abloh Archives™ x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska”
The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “Euro” is expected to return next year; only the colourway has been redubbed “Alaska”, and Off-White branding will be replaced with ‘Virgil Abloh Archives’ instead. Otherwise, it’s still the same clean white colourway sneakerheads have been trying to get their hands on since 2018. Read more about the Virgil Abloh Archives™ x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska”.
Air Jordan 3 OG “True Blue”
Jordan Brand is bringing back an original Jordan 3 colourway in 2026. The Air Jordan 3 OG “True Blue” is rumoured to be making a comeback with a near-OG look. Sneakerheads are certainly hoping this won’t be another reimagined look, as the last time this Jordan grail was released was 2016.
Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo”
It’s about to be another year with difficult decisions for Jordan fans. But one choice that should be easy is picking up the Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo”. These red sneakers were last released in 2013, but fans will be able to cop a fresh pair with the same look but a different shape in 2026. It’s definitely a release to keep on your must-cop list.
Air Jordan 4 “Bred”
The Jumpman team is bringing back the beloved Jordan 4 “Bred” colourway in 2026. The design is expected to be a faithful recreation of the original with “Nike Air” branding at the heel.
Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey”
2025 was already a huge year for Jordan 5 fans. Jordan Brand pulled out some fan-fave grails from the archives (the Tokyo 5s, Grapes, etc.). But there’s some heat still coming up in 2026. One colourway the brand has in store is the “Wolf Grey” Jordan 5. The upcoming pairs are expected to include the OG-style “23” text on the side and the Jumpman logo at the heel.

Air Jordan 5 “Black/University Blue”
It’s been 20 years since the Jordan 5 “Black/University Blue” first released, and as a treat, the Jumpman team are bringing the colourway back in fall 2026. Look forward to the same black nubuck uppers, white contrast stitching, and blue touches that made this non-OG Jordan colourway a grail for so many sneakerheads.
Air Jordan 6 “Oreo”
The Jordan 6 has a major year of celebration ahead in 2026. The Jumpman team has several fresh in-line releases and collabs planned for the model to honour its 35th anniversary year, plus they’re bringing back the “Oreo” colourway by popular demand. Upcoming pairs are expected to be closer in design to the 2010 release.
Air Jordan 6 “White Infrared”
JB are also bringing back the beloved “White Infrared” colourway next year. The white and red sneakers were among the first original Jordan 6 releases back in 1991, and we all know how much Jordan fans love an OG colourway.
Air Jordan 8 “Chrome”
If you missed the “Chrome” 8s back in 2015, they’re coming back in 2026 (and hopefully with a close-to-OG look). This is one of the non-OG Jordan colourways that JB fans still rave about.
Air Jordan 9 “Space Jam”
2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the Space Jam movie. To mark the occasion, JB is bringing back fan-favourite sneakers MJ wore in the film, including the Jordan 9.
Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”
Sneakerheads can also look forward to the return of the “Space Jam” Jordan 11s for the movie’s 30th anniversary. The design is expected to be close to the original release.
Air Jordan 13 “Chicago”
There are few Jordan colourways that can top the red, white, and black of a “Chicago” look. Thankfully, there’s a Jordan 13 releasing in this famous colour scheme next year. Plus, it’s dropping in full family sizes.
Air Jordan 13 “Flint”
Jordan 13 fans can also expect the return of the “Flint” colourway in 2026. These white, grey, and blue sneakers are one of the most loved in the model’s lineup. They’re expected to be given a faithful retro release in April.
Air Jordan 14 “Black/University Blue”
2026 marks 20 years since the Air Jordan 14 Retro Black/University Blue first debuted. Two decades have passed, and this will be the first time the beautiful black-and-Carolina-blue sneakers get a retro release. Expect their return in spring. Read more about the Air Jordan 14 “Black/University Blue”.
