Air Jordan 3 “Seoul 2.0” – May 17
Jordan Brand is bringing back the look of its coveted Korean-inspired colourway debuted in 2018 with a new “Seoul 2.0” Jordan 3.

Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Stealth” – May 22
It’s almost here: the much-anticipated Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 Low collaboration in all its glittery splendour. Essentially, the sneaker is a suede, crystal-encrusted version of the Jordan 1 “Shadow” Low, which differs considerably from the all-grey uppers teased in speculative mockups. The design offers a predominantly black look with grey accents on the toe box, Swoosh, and heel, plus a clean white midsole and black rubber outsole underneath.

Air Jordan 4 “White Cement” – 24 May
Jordan Brand is set to release the Air Jordan 4 OG “White Cement” in true OG form as part of its 40th Anniversary celebrations. What makes this upcoming drop particularly special is the rumour that it will adhere as closely as possible to the 1989 release, including a revision in the model’s shape. The rest of the design stays loyal to its OG aesthetics: expect a pristine white leather upper, speckled cement grey accents on the wing tabs, heel tabs and midsole, alongside black detailing. And it wouldn’t be an authentic OG without the classic Nike Air branding on the heel. To learn more: Air Jordan 4 OG “White Cement”
Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” – May 30
The Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air” sports a vibrant palette similar to its Air Jordan 4 counterpart but opts for unique shades of “Black,” “Chile Red,” “Neutral Grey,” “Military Blue,” and “Coconut Milk” to complete its look. This is a highly anticipated release. To learn more: Air Jordan 3 “Rare Air”
Air Jordan 14 Golf Shoe – 30 May
A special golf edition of Michael Jordan’s iconic Air Jordan 14 sneaker will be available for the US Open in June. The upcoming AJ 14 design combines White, Black, and Metallic Copper throughout the sneaker. The uppers are composed of smooth and ribbed white leather with black accents on the tongue, inner lining, and heel for a refined look. Yet a touch of copper detailing on the branding, aglets, and midfoot shank plate elevates the design even further. To learn more: Air Jordan 14 Golf Shoe
Air Jordan 1 High OG “Ruby” – 31 May
This women’s exclusive Air Jordan 1 High OG “Varsity Red” offers sneakerheads a fresh take on the model’s classic “Bred Toe” look. Jordan Brand is taking a slightly different approach this time around; they are using shiny cracked varsity red leather on the toe box, collar, and heel to recreate their iconic “Bred Toe” look. Yet the rest of the design is pretty conventional, with smooth white leather at the base and black leather at the collar, toe, eyestays, and profile swooshes.
