If there’s one item that will never go out of style, it’s a classic pair of black sneakers. Who doesn’t want a pair of kicks that go well with practically any outfit you throw them on with and can be a go-to option when pressed for time or just want to keep the look simple and stylish? Of course, Jordans will always be the obvious choice for us when picking up a pair of black sneakers. Thankfully, the Jumpman team has plenty of black-based colourways coming up in 2025 and 2026, if you need a restock or just want to add a new pair to your collection.
Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 OG “Black/Racer Blue”
One of the most unique Jordan 5 collabs to hit the sneaker scene in 2025 is, hands down, the Awake NY design. The sneakers boast unique “A”-shaped netting and NY branding on the ankle. One of the two colourways they’ve cooked up is the “Black/Racer Blue” pair, shown above. Your last chance to snag a pair of these limited-edition sneakers will be via SNKRS US this August.

Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Reverse Shadow”

Air Jordan 11 GS “Sneaker School”
Young sneakerheads will be offered their very own black Jordan 11 colourway in October 2025. This design isn’t your standard AJ11 look.
