If you’re a Jordan Brand fanatic with a penchant for predominantly black sneakers, then 2026 is most certainly the year for you. There are more black Jordan sneakers than we can count on two hands lined up for release this year. You can find stealthy materials dressing up everything from more common silhouettes like the Jordan 1 to rarer models such as the Air Jordan 10, 14, 17, and 15. Take a look at all the stealthy black Jordan sneakers you can grab throughout the year in the list below.

Air Jordan 6 “Bin 23”
The revival of JB’s “Bin 23” series has kicked off with one very sleek Jordan 6 design. Think dark colours, premium materials, and the series’ signature wax seal stamped on the heel. To make sure these kicks stay premium, the Jumpman team have included wooden shoe trees and dust bags.
Air Jordan 6 “Infrared Salesman”
Complete family sizing of the Air Jordan 6 Retro “Infrared Salesman” is available on Nike.com. The colour blocking is inspired by a sample of the “Black/Infrared” AJ6 from 1999. JB have even leaned further into the inspiration by adding a sample tag and a “Not For Resale” stamp on the inner collar.
Air Jordan 6 Low “Blackout”
With the Jordan 6 celebrating 35 years since its debut in 2026, sneakerheads can expect plenty of AJ6 heat in the Jumpman sneaker lineup this year. Surprisingly, the bulk of the releases are dressed in black, including the women’s exclusive “Blackout” colourway that arrived in Feb.
