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”

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”.

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)

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.

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”.

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”
