10 Jordans That Will Make Your Ex Jealous

By now, we all know that Jordans are something special. Of course, not everyone understands the value, nostalgia, and legacy behind each pair. I’ve seen exes commit some pretty heinous crimes against their loved ones’ sneakers purely out of spite. What’s the best form of revenge? Buy yourself some new Jordans, and the lineup for 2026 is bound to make your ex jealous.

Sneakerheads are getting flashbacks of the first time they copped the Jordan 9 “Flint Grey”. The colourway may have been M.I.A. (missing in action) for two decades, but it’s bringing back all the feels in 2026. Those clean white perforated uppers, grey overlays, and touches of blue are enough to send any sneakerhead into a buying frenzy.

Sneakerheads were never given a chance to get fully acquainted with the Air Jordan 6 “Reverse Infrared”, but come February 2026, that all changes. This long-lost pair will be back with the original sample detailing and in full family sizes, no less.

Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey”

The “Wolf Grey” is one of the Jordan 5s’ most-requested retros for a reason. Plush grey uppers you can’t help but run your fingers over, contrast stitching that makes the entire look pop, and don’t get us started on those translucent touches. This is the stuff sneaker dreams are made of.

Air Jordan 13 “Chicago”

Most sneakerheads refer to these white and red Jordan 13s as the “Cherry” colourway, and the name definitely fits. They’re as sweet as the fruit they’re named after and definitely worth the picking.

Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo”

Jordan 4 stans will be counting down the days till the “Toro Bravo” colourway makes its much-awaited comeback. We honestly can’t blame them. This pair is as sexy as a Jordan comes. Full red uppers with black on the hardware and under the netting. They’ll be even more tempting with the “Nike Air” branding at the heel.

Air Jordan 3 OG “True Blue”

The Jordan 3 “True Blue” has been back plenty of times, but sneakerheads still want to get their hands on it. No ties to an on-court moment or special event, just a timeless colourway that’s as beautiful now as it was back then. 

Air Jordan 5 “Black/University Blue”

There may be a few black and blue Jordans dropping in 2026, but this Jordan 5 colourway is the one everyone is talking about. Think black nubuck uppers, light blue contrast stitching and icy blue translucent outsoles. The Awake NY Jordan 5s have nothing on this.

Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”

Sneakerheads will be counting down the days till they get to grab a fresh pair of the Jordan 11 “Space Jam”. This is arguably one of the most popular colourways of the silhouette, aside from the Concord Jordan 11s. Plus, who doesn’t dream of walking around with a movie star?

Air Jordan 14 “Forest Green”

The 14s may be a bit more of an acquired taste, but once you get your first pair, there’s no turning back. On the cards for 2026 is the beautiful “Forest Green” style, a mostly white sneaker with a striking shade of green used to dress up the branding and sole unit. I’d be questioning if you didn’t want to slip into a pair.

Air Jordan 4 OG “Bred”

The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” is like an old fling you just can’t shake. No matter how many times the black, red, and grey sneaker re-releases, sneakerheads just keep coming back for more.
