October is shaping up to be a loaded month for Jordan Brand, with 13 pairs on the calendar.
Retros like the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Royal” and Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” share the schedule with collabs from J Balvin and SoleFly. The "Black Pack" also kicks off, while Jayson Tatum's new signature shoe makes its debut.
Here's every Air Jordan dropping this month.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Howard”
The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Howard” is releasing on October 1st, 2026, retailing at $155, and has the style code of IX8478-410. Navy covers most of the upper, giving the shoe a clean and classic look.
A red Swoosh with white stitching adds a pop of color along the side. Howard Bison branding and the Wings logo sit on the heel. The pair honors Howard University, the first HBCU to have Jordan Brand as its official athletic outfitter. It should be an easy pick for Bison fans and Jordan 1 Low collectors alike.
Air Jordan 6 Low GS “Black/Pink Foam”
The Air Jordan 6 Low GS “Black/Pink Foam” is releasing on October 2nd, 2026, retailing at $150, and has the style code of 768878-001.
Black covers most of the leather upper, tongue, and laces. Soft pink shows up along the lower part of the sole for some contrast. Bright pink hits land on the Jumpman logos, lace lock, and heel pull tab.
The biggest twist is the elephant print wrapping around the heel. That detail usually shows up on the Air Jordan 3, so it feels fresh on a 6 Low. Preschool pairs cost $85, and toddler pairs cost $60.
J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 “Amazonas”
The J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 “Amazonas” is releasing on October 2nd, 2026, retailing at $225, and has the style code of IW2872-700. J Balvin dropped first access through his own site earlier on September 28th.
Yellow croc-textured leather covers the upper, and the rest of the shoe matches in the same shade. The design draws from the yellow crocodiles found throughout the Amazon region. Lace tags read “Just Do It” on one shoe and “Solo Hazlo” on the other. It follows his earlier work on the Air Jordan 1, 2, and 3.
Air Jordan 3 “Fireside”
The Air Jordan 3 “Fireside” is releasing on October 3rd, 2026, retailing at $205, and has the style code of CK9246-200. This pair is exclusive to women's sizing.
Brown covers nearly the entire shoe, from the leather upper to the midsole. Suede wraps the tongue and collar for some added texture. Elephant print still shows up on the toe and heel. Jumpman logos replace the usual Nike Air branding on the heel. An extra set of pale pink laces comes in the box.
Air Jordan 14 Low “Black Ostrich”
The Air Jordan 14 Low “Black Ostrich” is releasing on October 3rd, 2026, retailing at $240, and has the style code of IZ3884-001. This pair is part of Jordan Brand's Black Pack.
It keeps a mostly black look but leans on texture to stand out. Ostrich-style detailing runs along the side panels for a bold, premium feel.
The Air Jordan 14 draws its design from Ferrari, and the shield badge still nods to that. It arrives on the same day as the Air Jordan 16 from the pack. The Air Jordan 15 and 17 Low follow on November 7th.
Air Jordan 16 “Black Pack”
The Air Jordan 16 “Black Pack” is releasing on October 3rd, 2026, retailing at $245, and has the style code of IZ2586-001. The 16 mixes wrinkled elephant-style leather with glossy patent leather around the toe.
That contrast gives the all-black build some real depth. It's one of four silhouettes in the Black Pack, alongside the 14 Low, 15, and 17 Low. Each pair sticks to black but uses different materials to stand out.
Worth noting that at $245, it carries the highest price in the pack.
Air Jordan 1 High OG “Royal”
The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Royal” is releasing on October 10th, 2026, retailing at $185, and has the style code of IQ5495-005. This is the first return of the classic black and blue colorway in nearly a decade.
Black leather makes up the base, with royal blue on the toe box, Swoosh, ankle, and heel. The blue leather has a bit more texture than the 2017 pair. White midsoles and blue outsoles keep the look familiar.
This version uses the regular High OG build instead of the ’85 shape. Special packaging inspired by an early Michael Jordan Nike photoshoot rounds out the release.
Jordan Tatum 5 “Sunrise”
The Jordan Tatum 5 “Sunrise” is releasing on October 15th, 2026, retailing at $125, and has the style code of IO1746-401. Jayson Tatum's fifth signature shoe kicks off with a purple and pink colorway.
The design pays homage to the Boston skyline at dawn. A strap makes its debut on a Tatum shoe, adding extra lockdown. His number 0 on the heel is shaped like the Arch from his hometown of St. Louis. The traction on the outsole is built for grip on the court. A darker “Sunset” colorway is expected to follow later.
Air Jordan 12 “Fireside”
The Air Jordan 12 “Fireside” is releasing on October 17th, 2026, retailing at $215, and has the style code of CT8013-105. A warm cream and brown palette makes this an easy fit for the colder months.
The upper stays light, while a brown mudguard wraps the lower half of the shoe. Metallic brown eyelets add a little shine near the collar.
The pair first leaked under the name “Eggnog” before the “Fireside” title stuck. Fans may notice a resemblance to SoleFly's “Cafecito” Air Jordan 12 from 2024. The release includes full family sizing.
Air Jordan 5 “Halloween”
The Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” is releasing on October 17th, 2026, retailing at $215, and has the style code of HQ7978-001. Black suede covers most of the upper, keeping the look dark and clean.
Glow-in-the-dark green hits the Jumpman logos, the embroidered 23, and the Nike Air branding on the heel. Red breaks up the black midsole across the shark teeth. Black speckles finish off the midsole for a spooky touch. Family sizing is available, so the whole crew can match.
Air Jordan 41 “University Red”
The Air Jordan 41 “University Red” is releasing on October 25th, 2026, retailing at $205, and has the style code of HV6474-601. This is one of the first colorways of Michael Jordan's 41st signature shoe.
Red covers most of the woven upper, with a brighter red layered throughout. The design is inspired by gemstones, and this pair leans on the ruby. Cushioning comes from Cushlon 3.0 foam, ZoomX in the forefoot, and Zoom Air in the heel.
A carbon fiber plate shows through the midsole. It's a clear step forward for Jordan Brand's numbered performance line.
Air Jordan 14 “Forest Green”
The Air Jordan 14 “Forest Green” is releasing on October 31st, 2026, retailing at $215, and has the style code of 487471-300. This colorway first released in 2005 and has built a cult following since.
White leather covers the upper, with green accents on the midsole teeth, heel branding, and shield badge. Black details and a carbon fiber shank plate round out the build. It was never considered a grail, which is part of its charm.
Forest green is also a more low-key option than louder colorways like “Candy Cane.” Adult and grade school sizes are expected.
SoleFly x Air Jordan 5
The SoleFly x Air Jordan 5 is releasing some time in October 2026, retailing at $225, and has the style code of IU0734-001. The Miami boutique takes a darker approach than its usual more vibrant collaborations.
Dark grey suede covers the upper, with black on the midsole. Teal accents show up on the tongue Jumpman, SoleFly logo, and midsole.
The pre-yellowed outsole gives the shoe a slightly aged look. Laces wrap around the ankle before returning to the front, adding a boxing-inspired feel. It continues SoleFly's yearly run with Jordan Brand.
