We’re only three months into 2026, and Jordan Brand has already dropped some of the hottest sneakers of the year. Some of the sneaker highlights for April include Virgil Abloh’s Air Jordan 1 High “Alaska”, the Air Jordan 5 “White Metallic”, and, who can forget, the new Air Jordan 6 “Cap & Gown”. But these are only a few of the must-have pairs to come. Make sure to check out the full lineup of Jordan sneakers scheduled for April 2026 below.

Virgil Abloh’s Europe-exclusive Jordan 1 sneakers are returning in April 2026, but fans can expect a few small updates.

Look out for the return of the white and metallic silver Jordan 5 sneakers from 2015 in April 2026. This retro release is expected to feature all the bells and whistles of the original design, but also adds in unexpected “Nike Air” branding on the heel for good measure.

Air Jordan 6 “Cap & Gown”

Graduation season is about to get that much more chic thanks to the Jumpman’s latest “Cap and Gown” sneakers. This time around, the Jordan 6 has received the luxe treatment with all-black uppers and reflective silver trim. These kicks will be available around April 30th in full family sizes.

Jordan Sixty Plus Low

Jordan Brand has brought the Jordan Sixty Plus back to market with a new low-top version of the silhouette. If you haven’t already treated yourself to the black and white colourways currently on offer, you can grab either the “Fire Red” or “Wolf Grey/Lucky Green” pairs later in April.

Air Jordan 40 “Ferrari”

The Jordan 40 has been turned into a Jordan 14 doppelgänger for spring 2026. The famed “Ferrari” Jordan 14 colourway has been added to the new Jordan silhouette, from the red suede uppers to the faux carbon fibre accents. They’ve even added the yellow Ferrari-style badge at the ankle.

Air Jordan 4028 “Black/Barely Volt”

Another Jordan 40 hybrid coming up in April is the Air Jordan 4028 “Black/Barely Volt”. This design is a homage to the black and volt coloured Air Jordan 28 Stealth that originally debuted for the 2013 All-Star game. They’ve made sure to add the zip-up ankle sleeve so you get the full experience.

Air Jordan 4020 “White/Varsity Red”

Jordan Brand is also releasing a hybrid mashup of its Air Jordan 40 and Jordan 20 sneakers in April 2026. The mashup design will offer patent leather uppers, black leather heels, and laser-etched straps across the top. You can add it to your cart for $200 USD.

Air Jordan 3 “Playground”

The Michael Jordan’s playground poster from the ’80s just got a whole new lease on life. The Jumpman team have used the design to decorate their upcoming black and sail Jordan 3 releases. Each pair comes with printed fabric uppers, suede accents, and translucent heel tabs that bring the poster to life.
