All in all, 2025 has been a fantastic year for the Jordan Brand. The debut of the Jumpman’s 40th signature silhouette, an assortment of big-ticket collaborations, and, of course, plenty of in-line colourways for fans to enjoy. Although a bunch of major in-line releases have already dropped, sneakerheads can still look forward to nostalgic retros like the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma Blue” and Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” as well as fresh new colourways like the Air Jordan 3 “Family Affair” and Air Jordan 5 “35th Anniversary” as 2025 comes to an end. To help you round up all your must cop in-line releases for the last stretch of the year, we’ve prepared a list of the best Jordans coming up that are not collaborations.
Air Jordan 3 OG “El Vuelo”
Year after year, sneakerheads gripe about being offered the same retro colourways. Well, this Jordan 3 is your chance to cop something different…make that very different. This unique design combines white snakeskin leather, jagged overlays, plus red and green accent colours to honour Mexico and its lucha libre culture. Expect this sneaker to be available on Nike SNKRS on September 20 in celebration of Mexican Independence Day. Find out more about the Air Jordan 3 OG “Mexico”.
Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo”
2025 has been an epic year for the Jordan 5. The Jumpman team has brought back the best of their best colourways to celebrate the model’s 35th milestone year. The extensive list includes a grail that was originally exclusive to Tokyo, Japan. Granted, these may not be exact replicas of the originals, but they will still be a must-have for many Jordan 5 fans. Find out more about the Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo”.
Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Reverse Shadow”
It’s still unclear whether the Air Jordan 1 High ’85 “Reverse Shadow” will be released globally this year, but sneaker insiders seem optimistic. The flipped colourway was available exclusively in Tokyo this July, and on the Spain Foot District website on August 27th. So stay tuned for any updates on a possible wider release in the near future.
Air Jordan 5 “35th Anniversary”
Aside from bringing back a slew of retro colourways, Jordan Brand has also created a special Jordan 5 to commemorate the model’s 35th anniversary. The design borrows inspiration from the “Fire Red” colour blocking but replaces the red highlights with soft pink. What’s more, you can grab a pair for the whole family when they drop in October. Find out more about the Air Jordan 5 “35th Anniversary”.
Air Jordan 3 “Family Affair”
The Air Jordan 3 “Family Affair” is a near-perfect holiday sneaker. You get olive nubuck uppers, “Nike Air” branding on the heel, and a gum rubber outsole to finish things off. Plus, it’s another pair you can grab for the entire family. Find out more about the Air Jordan 3 “Family Affair”.
Air Jordan 12 “Taxi”
There’s plenty of nostalgia attached to the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi”, so you know it’s going to be a must-have for many sneakerheads this holiday season. Aside from the memories of rocking these back in the day, sneakerheads also got to see the white and black colourway on Michael Jordan’s feet during the 1996–1997 NBA season. Expect these to return in full family sizes. Find out more about the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi”.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago”
This is going to be a crazy holiday season, especially given Jordan Brand is reviving the Chicago 1 Lows from 2016 in a near-original look. How do you pass up the Chicago Jordan 1? That’s a trick question; you don’t. Find out more about the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chicago”.
Air Jordan 10 “Shadow”
Jordan 10 lovers can celebrate the Jumpman’s 40th birthday this year with two OG colourways: one with and one without the toe cap. The upcoming “Shadow” style arrives without the divisive toe cap. Look forward to these beauties in holiday 2025. Find out more about the Air Jordan 10 “Shadow”.
Air Jordan 4 “Cozy Girl”
What’s better in the cooler months of the year than a cozy Jordan 4 on your feet? This upcoming in-line colourway combines nubuck, suede, and fleece fabrics, all in a beige colour. Plus, a pair of fuzzy laces completes the “Cozy Girl” look. Find out more about the Air Jordan 4 “Cozy Girl”.
Air Jordan 3 “Champagne and Oysters”
The Jordan 3 is one of the most popular styles in the Jumpman range, so we’re not shocked to see a couple of options lined up to end the year. One of the more opulent variations on the model is the “Champagne and Oysters” colourway, which features shades of sail, ivory, and gold to fit the theme. Images of the design have yet to surface, but you can bet it’s going to be good. Find out more about the Air Jordan 3 “Champagne and Oysters”.
Air Jordan 1 “Metallic Team Gold” Pack
The Jumpman Team is bringing the glitz to their Jordan 1 Low and Mid silhouettes as well. The sneakers are expected in elegant ‘Metallic Team Gold’ colourways, featuring a soft pale ivory base, shimmering overlays and gold lace charms. Keep an eye out for their release in the fall.
Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny”
Full family sizes of the Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny” are expected to make their way to sneakerheads in November. The colourway’s last known release was in 2013, so we’re happy to see this classic white, red and grey sneaker return. Find out more about the Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny“.
Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat”
The king of all-black sneakers, the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat,” is all set to make its comeback this year. This stealthy colourway returns with a few changes, including “Nike Air” branding on the heel and leather wing tabs. Look forward to its release on Black Friday. Find out more about the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat”.
Air Jordan 11 “Gamma”
One of the most popular (if not the most popular) non-OG Jordan 11 colourways is also expected to highlight Jordan Brand’s December releases. Fortunately, it returns to fans unadulterated, with the same black mesh upper, matching patent leather mudguard, and icy blue outsole that made it so popular in the first place. Find out more about the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma”.
Air Jordan 11 “Football Blue”
The Jumpman crew is also releasing a premium version of their beloved Jordan 11 silhouette for this holiday season. Images of the design have yet to surface, but expect a mix of Canvas, Metallic Silver, Summit White, and Football Blue throughout the sneaker. Find out more about the Air Jordan 11 “Football Blue”.
