We can’t be the only sneakerheads who can’t get enough of red Jordan colourways. Whether it’s a full-on red upper or just touches of the hue highlighting key areas, you can’t deny that red Jordans are the best Jordans. Check out all the red colourways you can expect to see in 2025 and 2026.
Air Jordan 5 OG “Fire Red” (Black Tongue)
The beautiful “Fire Red” Jordan 5 (Black Tongue) is dropping in full-family sizes this September 2025. The shoe has a white base that allows the Fire Red accents on the inner lining, branding and sole unit to really stand out. Plus, it comes with “Nike Air” branding on the heel for that extra coveted touch. Find out more about the Air Jordan 5 OG “Fire Red” (Black Tongue).
Jordan Spizike Low “El Vuelo”
Sneakerheads can look forward to the release of an “El Vuela” Spizike Low before Mexican Independence Day celebrations kick off. The design sports snakeskin leather uppers and red touches inspired by the Mexican flag and the country’s lucha libre traditions.
Infinite Archives X Air Jordan 17 Low “Chicago”
Infinite Archives founder “Easy” Otabor has teased a number of Jordan 17 colourways via his Instagram, including a red “Chicago” style. The design offers a white leather base with black inner booties and a chunk of red on the sole unit. It’s unclear whether this particular colourway will be a family and friends exclusive or if it’s just a sample pair, but the brand is set to release their “Beach” colourway in October. Find out more about the Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago”
Jordan Brand’s “Chicago” Jordan 1 Low colourway has long been a fan favourite. The sneaker has a white backdrop with black touches on the Swoosh and branding. But most importantly, it has “Varsity Red” overlays that steal the show. Sneakerheads can grab a pair this November. Find out more about the Air Jordan 1 Low “Chicago”.
Air Jordan 1 High OG “Sail/University Red”
The Jordan Brand’s upcoming “Sail/University Red” colourway may not be an OG look or even a collab, but its bright “University Red” overlays have certainly caught sneakerheads’ attention. Stay tuned for official images as we approach the end of the year.
Air Jordan 4 “Sierra Red”
Jordan Brand has a beautiful, women’s-exclusive colourway of the Jordan 4 silhouette planned for next spring. A Sierra Red hue highlights the sneaker with Pale Ivory leather covering the base. Most notably, this pair offers a touch of red on the leather edging along the toe. Find out more about the Air Jordan 4 “Sierra Red”.
Air Jordan 6 “Reverse Infrared”
The “Reverse Infrared” Jordan 6 colourway is finally expected to drop in spring 2026. Samples first surfaced in 1999, but the design was never actually made available to sneakerheads. The shoes boast a black nubuck base, but the “Light Crimson” touches are the highlight.
Air Jordan 13 “Chicago”
One of the best Jordans coming out next spring is the AJ 13 “True Red.” The White, Black, and True Red colourway, also known as the “Chicago” colourway, has been a fan favourite Jordan 13 look since its debut in 1998, especially given its ties to the NBA GOAT. Find out more about the Air Jordan 13 “Chicago”.
Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo”
Rumoured to make a comeback next year is one of the best red Jordans in the brand’s lineup, the Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo”. These sneakers offer a full-on red suede upper with black touches on the wing tabs, sole and heel.
Air Jordan 3 “Bin 23”
The Jumpman team is bringing back their premium “Bin 23” series in 2026. One of the sneakers they will be treating fans to is an AJ3 covered in Team Red, Burgundy Crush, Coconut Milk and Metallic Gold hues. While there’s still no confirmation on how the colour blocking will play out, you can expect these to be a red sneaker worth investing in. Find out more about the Air Jordan 3 “Bin 23”.
Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Sail”
While most of us were looking forward to Nigel Sylvester releasing an alternate colourway for his “Brick by Brick” Jordan 4 collab during the holiday 2025 season, it seems we may have to wait until 2026 to get our hands on these beauties. The colour blocking takes cues from the classic “Fire Red” Jordan colourway, but replaces the original red hue with a more orange-tinted shade. Find out more about the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Sail”.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned”
You can’t go wrong with a black and red Jordan, much less the famous (or infamous) “Banned” colourway. Jordan Brand is rumoured to be bringing back the fan-fav look in low-top form come 2026. Expect the release to wear an X marking on the heel, much like the high-top version from 2011. Find out more about the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned”.
Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline”
The Jordan 12 “Bloodline”, which was initially rumoured to be releasing in 2025, is now expected to join JB’s 2026 roster. Though the uppers will be blacked out for the most part, look forward to some pops of “Varsity Red” that will stand out against the dark backdrop.
Air Jordan 6 “White Infrared”
The Jordan 6 silhouette is rumoured to return in the beloved “White/Infrared” colourway come spring 2026. While images of the shoes have yet to surface, sneakerheads can expect the familiar white leather uppers with black and red accents. The shoe is rumoured to return with “Nike Air” branding at the heel and a red shade that closely resembles the original look. Stay tuned for more info, and check out more on Sneaker Fortress.
