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.

Air Jordan 10 “Steel Grey”

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.

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.

Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Reverse Shadow”
The AJ 1 is expected to drop in a “Reverse Shadow” colourway this year. The style comes with a smooth black leather base, grey leather overlays, and a sail and grey sole unit combo below. These will reportedly be dropping exclusively in Tokyo, but keep an eye out on resale sites.
