Two classics return as the “Reverse Infrared” colorway of the Air Jordan 6, the signature sneaker they wear Michael Jordan en route to his first championship with the Bulls. Next up, the “Wolf Grey” Jordan 5 returns for the first time since 2011, marking another favorite sneaker making a comeback this year. Both retro AJ models will retail for $215.

Two more classic retro Jordan colorways return as the “Chicago” or “True Red” Air Jordan 13 returns for the first time since 2017. The classic silhouette and colorway was favored by Michael Jordan during his playing days and makes for one of the most anticipated retro returns of the year. The Air Jordan 14 returns in a “University Blue” colorway for its 20th anniversary release in 2026, wearing the classic North Carolina blue as a nod to Jordan’s Tar Heels. Both pairs will retail for $215.

The upper will feature a denim pattern and share similar motifs to its counterpart, the Air Jordan 4. The pair will retail for a standard price of $185.

The Jordan 11 Low appears in shimmer White/University Blue ensemble, immediately signaling another UNC-inspired sneaker for the spring season. Blue patent leather is accented with a white mesh upper and icy blue soles, retailing for $195 and expected to be a big hit ahead of summer.

Arguably the most anticipated release of the spring calendar might be the return of the Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” from 2013. While not an original colorway worn by Jordan, the intense red suede accented with black, gray and white perfectly resembles something MJ would wear. Fans have been clamoring for their first retro release and they’ll get their wish in May as it retails for $220.
