Jordan Brand’s release schedule for the remainder of the year is expected to be even more wallet crippling than the first half. There’s a lot to look forward to in the upcoming months, including the reintroduction of several cherished retro colourways like the Aqua 8s and Steel 10s, as well as some top-tier designs with regular Jumpman collaborators like Travis Scott and Off-White. To help with budgeting, we put together a list of the best Jordan releases for the remainder of 2025. These are the best Air Jordans to buy in 2025.
Air Jordan 3 “Pure Money”
It’s been a moment since we last saw the Jordan 3 “Pure Money,” but the kicks look just as clean on their return as they did in 2007. Expect the familiar white tumbled leather, elephant print mudguards, and matching patterned laces. You’ll also be pleased to know that the “Pure $” embroidery under the heel tab is very much present. Find out more about the Air Jordan 3 “Pure Money”.
Air Jordan 8 “Aqua”
Jordan Brand is bringing back another slice of ’90s nostalgia in 2025 with the return of the “Aqua” AJ8—one of the best colourways for the model. The 2025 release offers the same black Durabuck uppers, grey panels, blue and purple highlights, and glittery midsole accents fans know and love. Find out more about the Air Jordan 8 “Aqua”.
Air Jordan 4 “Rare Air”
This sleek, black, red and blue “Rare Air” Jordan 4 is in the running to be one of this year’s best releases. The design sports a removable tongue patch with “Rare Air” text hidden underneath. Only 25% of these pairs will come with gold lettering on the tongue, making them that much more coveted. Find out more about the Air Jordan 4 “Rare Air”.
Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Nitro”
Nigel Sylvester is dropping a low-top version of his Friends and Family Jordan 1 design from 2022. The upcoming pair sports all the familiar details: scuffed uppers, stained white leather, and mini forefoot Swooshes. Plus, you can’t miss the BMX star’s signature “Bike Air” branding on the tongue tags. Find out more about the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Nitro”.
Air Jordan 10 “Steel Grey”
This summer is full of must-have sneaker releases, including the AJ10 “Steel”. The 2025 design will include the rare toe cap feature that has sneakerheads divided. Find out more about the Air Jordan 10 “Steel”.
Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 “Arctic Pink”
Awake NY is offering one of the most daring spins on the Jordan 5 silhouette for 2025. Their “Arctic Pink” colourway sees the silhouette covered in a bubblegum pink hue with custom “A” netting on the side to match its unique look. Find out more about the Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 “Arctic Pink”.
Air Jordan 12 “French Blue”
This Jordan 12 release is as much a tribute to Kobe Bryant as it is a celebration of the Jumpman’s history. Kobe wore this colourway during his sneaker-free agency in 2003. It’s an understated beauty. Find out more about the Air Jordan 12 “French Blue”.
Air Jordan 1 High OG “Shattered Backboard”
The bold and beautiful “Shattered Backboard” colourway is dropping in a wide array of styles this year (cleats, mids, lows, you name it), but the Jordan 1 High just strikes all the right nostalgic chords. The pair saw a shock drop on June 26th, but don’t worry, it’s still expected to release in July as well. Find out more about the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Shattered Backboard”.
Undefeated x Air Jordan 4
Undefeated is reintroducing its first-ever collaboration with the Jumpman to mark 20 years since the kicks debuted. Sneakerheads can choose between two versions of the design: one with the Jumpman on the heel, similar to the original release, and another with the popular “Nike Air” branding. Find out more about the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4.
Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 “Black/Racer Blue”
If Awake NY’s “Arctic Pink” Jordan 5 colourway is a little too pink for you, the brand has also created a “Racer Blue” design that is a little more subtle. The sneakers include the same design elements but in a stylish black and blue colour combo. Find out more about the Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 “Black/Racer Blue”.
Air Jordan 4 “Cave Stone”
One of the best in-house colourways of the fall 2025 season is the “Cave Stone” Air Jordan 4. The sneakers offer smooth suede uppers and an earthy brown colour scheme that’s pretty hard to resist. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it bears some resemblance to Travis Scott’s 2018 “Mocha” 4s. Find out more about the Air Jordan 4 “Cave Stone”.
Air Jordan 5 OG “Fire Red” (Black Tongue)
Michael Jordan’s “Fire Red” AJ5 with the black tongue will be available in full-family sizes this September. The shoe also includes “Nike Air” branding on the heel for an extra special touch. Find out more about the Air Jordan 5 OG “Fire Red” (Black Tongue).
Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low
There’s not a Travis Scott or Fragment sneaker that doesn’t sell out in seconds, and this crisp white and blue colourway is destined for the same fate. These kicks have Fragment’s lightning bolt logo on the right heel and Scott’s signature happy face scribble on the left. Find out more about the Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Storm Blue”
Another white and blue Jordan 1 low colourway that should be an instant cop is the “Storm Blue” iteration. The sneaker brings back the ‘Big Swoosh’ design–a larger than usual Swoosh–that many sneakerheads prefer. Find out more about the Air Jordan 1 Low “Storm Blue”.
Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo”
This Tokyo-exclusive AJ5 covered in beautiful yellow suede is finally getting a global release this year, albeit limited to only 20,000 pairs. Sneakerheads can expect two versions to drop: one with the standard Jumpman graphic at the heel and the other with “Nike Air” branding. Find out more about the Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo”.
Air Jordan 13 Low “Dongdan”
The Jumpman Label has cooked up a stylish beige Jordan 13 sneaker for this year’s Dongdan basketball tournament. The uppers are a blend of brown suede and beige tumbled leather—definitely a good look for the Tinker Hatfield-designed silhouette. Maybe even a contender for best Jordan of 2025? Find out more about the Air Jordan 13 Low “Dongdan”.
Air Jordan 6 “Fire Red”
The AJ 6 is expected to drop in a new “White/Fire Red” colourway this summer. The style comes with white leather uppers plus black and “Fire Red” accents throughout. Stay tuned for more.
Air Jordan 11 “Rare Air”
The white and blue Jordan 11s are another “Rare Air” edition worth picking up this year. This pair sports a simple white leather upper and dark blue patent leather mudguard combo that’s as timeless as any other AJ11 look. But the brand has also included “Jordan” lettering running up the eyestays for a unique touch. Find out more about the Air Jordan 11 “Rare Air”.
Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low
Infinite Archives joined with the Jumpman to offer a new spin on three Jordan 17 colourways. One of the best looks for this 2025 Jordan 17 collab is the “Chicago” colourway, but all of them are pretty clean. Find out more about the Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low.
Air Jordan 5 “Wings”

Air Jordan 12 “Taxi”
Michael Jordan’s AJ12 “Taxi” will be reissued in its original form this fall, with white leather uppers plus the black and yellow accents that earned it its catchy nickname. Find out more about the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi”.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago”
No matter what the form, the “Chicago” Jordan 1 is always a must-have. The colourway is slated to return in its low-top cut before year-end, so keep an eye out for them if you want to dodge the four-figure price tag of resale platforms. Find out more about the Air Jordan 1 Low “Chicago”.
Air Jordan 10 “Shadow”
Another must-have Jordan 10 colourway to add to the already lengthy list of best releases to cop this holiday 2025 season. If you’re on Team no toe cap (much like MJ himself), rest assured that this release will not feature the divisive detail. Find out more about the Air Jordan 10 “Shadow”.
Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat”
The timeless all-black colourway, inspired by MJ’s nickname, is expected to return in holiday 2025. This iteration comes with the coveted “Nike Air” branding at the heel and a versatile colourway you can’t go wrong with. Find out more about the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat”.
A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 4 “Dark Mocha”

Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska”
The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High “Euro” may have a new name, but it’s still the same design we all fell in love with.

SoleFly x Air Jordan 3
I know, I know. We’re still not sure what SoleFly has cooking for their Jordan 3 collab this year. But given the confirmed palette includes colours similar to their Lottery design from 2014, this could be a reimagined look. Stay tuned! Find out more about the SoleFly x Jordan 3.
Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Brick By Brick” (White)
