Even if 2025 aims to be remembered as a year of legendary sneaker releases, Jordan Brand intends to keep up the ante in 2026. The recent leak about the resurrection of the He Got Game Jordan 13s has already stirred up excitement. And now, whispers of the Air Jordan 6 “Black Infrared” making a comeback next year are only adding to the anticipation for 2026’s release calendar.

A Closer Look At The Sneaker

According to Sneaker Market Romania, the iconic “Black/Infrared” colourway is set to be pulled from the Jordan Brand vaults in 2026. However, the details about the new shoe remain shrouded in mystery. Whether it will be an exact reproduction of the 1991 original, or a reimagined version with updated materials is still up in the air (excuse the pun). But either way, sneakerheads everywhere will be excitedly awaiting this classic palette’s re-release.

The fervour for the Air Jordan 6 “Black Infrared” seemingly never goes away, even if sneakerheads last had the chance to get a pair of these legendary sneakers at their most recent retro release in 2019. After all, the iconic black and red colourway has become an essential part of Michael Jordan’s on-court legacy, thanks to its strong ties to his first NBA championship win in 1991.

Considering the history behind the colourway and the popularity that it has reached, it makes perfect sense that Jordan Brand would be reintroducing it for the model’s 35th anniversary next year. With any luck, the model’s “White/Infrared” colourway will follow suit.

Air Jordan 6 “Black Infrared” Release Details

You can expect the beloved colourway to make a comeback in Spring 2026 through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers. Although the price has not been finalised, it is anticipated to retail for between $200 and $225 USD.
