As we near the pivotal year of 2025, Jordan Brand is poised to celebrate a significant milestone—the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1. This iconic sneaker not only revolutionized basketball footwear but also had a profound impact on global sneaker culture, making the upcoming anniversary a landmark event for both enthusiasts and collectors.
To mark this momentous occasion, Jordan Brand is planning a series of exciting retro releases. Key highlights include the reissue of the “Black Cat” Air Jordan 4 and the “Black Metallic Reimagined” Air Jordan 5, along with the re-release of the “Grape” Air Jordan 5 OG in its original design. Fans of the Air Jordan 8 will be thrilled with the return of both the “Aqua” and “Bugs Bunny” models, evoking strong nostalgic emotions. Additionally, the classic “White Cement” Air Jordan 4 OG will be reintroduced, maintaining its iconic charm.
The year will also see the retirement of the “Flu Game” Air Jordan 12, signifying the conclusion of a storied chapter in the sneaker world. Conversely, the “Taxi” Air Jordan 12 is slated for a comeback, alongside the highly anticipated first-ever reissue of the “Shattered Backboard” Air Jordan 1 High OG, a coveted piece among aficionados. The lineup will be further enriched with the return of the “Shadow” Air Jordan 10 and the debut of a new Air Jordan 11, just in time for the holiday season.
Moreover, 2025 promises to bring some compelling collaborations. The ongoing partnership between Travis Scott, Fragment, and Jordan Brand will continue with the Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low OG. Meanwhile, Undefeated will revive its legendary Air Jordan 4 collaboration, and Nike SB is set to introduce two novel Air Jordan 4 designs. Additionally, another collaboration between Union LA and Jordan Brand on the Air Jordan 1 High OG is anticipated.
The array of releases throughout 2025 underscores Jordan Brand’s commitment to celebrating its heritage while also pushing the boundaries of sneaker innovation.
