The Air Jordan 1 High ‘Cool Grey’ Is the Chillest Drop of 2026

Jordan Brand's Spring 2026 roster has a new Air Jordan 1 High "Cool Grey" colourway in store for sneakerheads.

Jordan Brand’s Spring 2026 releases are still a way off, but they are already generating quite a stir online. Think classic retros long adored by sneakerheads, striking new collaborations, and, of course, a slew of intriguing in-house colourways. Among the latter is the Air Jordan 1 High “Cool Grey”, a clean and versatile iteration of the iconic silhouette that feels almost perfect for the warmer months.

A Closer Look At The Sneaker

Although images of the “Cool Grey” AJ1s have yet to surface online, zSneakerHeadz and SneakerFiles report a Cool Grey, Black, Sail, Game Royal, and White colour scheme that is said to closely resemble the mock-up images shown below. Thus, sneakerheads can anticipate “Cool Grey” overlays set against a clean “White” backdrop, with a dark “Black” hue accenting elements like the collar, Swoosh and laces. “Game Royal” tongue tags provide a splash of colour to the mix, while “Metallic Gold” accents keep everything looking classy. Below, a “Sail” midsole and transparent rubber outsole complete the ensemble. Yet although we have the colour blocking figured out, the materials and other specifics of this in-house design have yet to be unveiled. We’re kind of hoping the semi-translucent outsoles will be showing off something special underneath.

Air Jordan 1 High “Cool Grey” Release Details

If you’re interested in this AJ1 style, keep checking back for updates and start planning for its release in Spring 2026. Sneakerheads will be able to purchase the colourway for $180 USD from Nike.com and select retailers.

Other stunning Jordan 1 designs to look forward to in the meantime include the lavish, crystal-encrusted Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 Low, a multilayered Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Self Expression” design and a “Dongdan” pair created for the brand’s annual tournament in Beijing. While we wait for these and other drops, be sure to follow Sneaker Fortress.
