Sneakerheads are rarely treated to the release of green Jordans, but the results are truly remarkable when they are. Even the most discerning sneakerhead can find a pair to lust for among the styles dipped in the striking shade, from exclusive PEs made for Jordan Brand’s top athletes to joint designs with Travis Scott and SoleFly. We’ve rounded up a few of our favourite pairs from the Air Jordan line for your viewing pleasure.
Air Jordan 1 Retro “Defining Moments Celtics”
In 2009, a DMP pack was released featuring a green, black, and white Jordan 1 colourway inspired by the 1986 playoffs between the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics. The pair was released alongside a Bulls colour scheme and included a slide-out box with basketball court plank images, connecting these sneakers to the rich history and legacy of the Air Jordan brand.
Travis Scott x Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Medium Olive”
La Flame expanded his sneaker collection in 2024 by adding another “Medium Olive” Jordan 1 low. The new colourway included black Swooshes and quarter panels of olive suede, which was the inverse of the black and olive women’s shoes he had introduced the previous year. Also included were Scott’s signature vivid red embroidery on the tongue branding and the wings logo at the heel.
SoleFly x Air Jordan 1 Retro High “Art Basel Black”
For Art Basel Miami 2018, Jordan Brand and SoleFly collaborated to create two unique AJ 1 sneakers, including this Friends & Family edition. The shoes include dark green and black patent leather uppers, the words “305” and “MIA” on the tongue, and profile swooshes in mismatched hues. More significantly, each pair is numbered to emphasise how exclusive and rare they are. Read more about the SoleFly x Air Jordan 3.
Air Jordan 3 Retro “Pine Green“
The Jordan 3 was given a striking Black, Silver, White, and Pine Green look in 2021. The shoes offer black nubuck uppers, the traditional elephant pattern overlays at the heel and toe and bold Pine Green accents on the perforated collars, sole unit and eyelets.
Nina Chanel Abney x Air Jordan 3 Retro “Bicoastal and Malachite”
Nina Chanel Abney had the chance to add her unique flair to the iconic AJ3 silhouette in 2024. The NYC-based artist chose to adorn the uppers with green waxed canvas and matching hairy suede while adding orange accents and Fossil touches throughout. However, what’s even more remarkable is that JB invited Abney to be the first official artist to ever re-create the classic Jumpman logo in her own distinctive style.
Undefeated x Jordan 4 Retro
2005 saw the release of 72 pairs of the limited-edition Undefeated x Air Jordan 4. Modelled after MA-1 military flight jackets, the sneaker featured an upper in a mix of olive nubuck, orange and black accents, with detachable tongue patches. These green Jordans have gained a lot of popularity since then and now sell for over $20,000 USD on resale sites. Read more about the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4.
Air Jordan 4 Retro “Wahlburgers“
Actor Mark Wahlberg opened up a burger restaurant aptly called Wahlburgers back in June 2018. During the event, he wore a pair of unique green Jordans that undoubtedly sparked the interest of everyone who saw him wearing them. His Wahlburgers design featured a striking suede upper and detachable patches on the sneaker’s tongue. Although these were never released for purchase, you can still find pairs popping up on resale sites like eBay, StockX, and GOAT. That said, these kicks will set you back at least five figures.
Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Retro “Pine Green”
In 2023, Jordan Brand and Nike SB worked together to create an AJ4 fit for the skateboarding community. The design sports an off-white leather upper, light grey suede at the front of the shoe, and pine green accents on the heel tab and eyelets. It goes without saying that this became a silhouette that everyone, not just skateboarders, wanted to own. Read more about the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Retro SP.
Macklemore x Air Jordan 6 Retro “Cactus Green”
Macklemore had the opportunity to collaborate with Jordan Brand in 2014 to produce two limited-edition colourways for the Air Jordan 6: this gorgeous Cactus Green pair and a Light Redwood style. Only 23 pairs of the Cactus design—with semi-translucent outsoles, soft suede uppers, and an embossed shark pattern on the heel—were produced, making this an ultra-rare Jordan.
Air Jordan 6 Retro Pinnacle “Promo Flight Jacket”
To create a luxurious AJ 6 design, Jordan Brand’s exclusive Pinnacle series drew inspiration from a flight jacket Michael Jordan wore during a 1991 Saturday Night Live skit. The shoe’s quilted quarter panels and sleek olive green satin upper all flawlessly mimic the style of the military-inspired jacket, but there’s also a clear, ice-blue outsole below in keeping with the classic AJ 6 look.
Travis Scott X Jordan 6 Retro “Medium Olive”
Travis Scott revitalised the sneaker game with his numerous collaborations with Jordan Brand, one of them being the Jordan 6 Retro ‘Medium Olive’. The design sports an olive suede upper with unique details like a small pocket at the ankle, Scott’s ‘Cactus Jack’ logo on the heel and lace lock, and a translucent outsole that glows in the dark to make these kicks more than just your usual pair of sneakers.
Air Jordan 9 “Oregon Ducks” PE
The 2024–25 Air Jordan 9 “Oregon Ducks” PE adds to the long list of striking green Jordans that the Oregon Ducks have acquired over the years. In keeping with the university’s colours, the sneaker features a white leather base with bright yellow accents and shiny green patent leather overlays.
Air Jordan 11 “Alshon Jeffery” PE
In 2018, Alshon Jeffery was honoured with a pair of exclusive suede Air Jordan 11s for his Super Bowl LII win with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles’ trademark midnight green, white and charcoal shades are beautifully placed across the sneaker’s upper.
Air Jordan 12 Retro CP3 “Class of 2003”
Chris Paul’s high school alma mater, West Forsyth in North Carolina, served as the inspiration for this luxe AJ 12 design. The school’s distinctive green colour dominates the suede uppers, while gold accents, like the Jumpman logo embroidered at the tongue, add an extra nod to the school’s signature hues. These green Jordans also feature custom insoles that read “Class of 2003” on the left foot and Paul’s own logo on the right.
Air Jordan 14 Retro “White Forest Green”
The upper of this 2005 Air Jordan 14 design is made of crisp white leather with perforations all over it for breathability. But most importantly, the Dark Forest Green accents on the midsole and heel provide a splash of colour that goes well with the model’s overall refined yet sporty look.
