May 2026 is shaping up to be one of the busiest months on the Jordan Brand calendar. From long-awaited retros to high-profile collaborations, there is something dropping nearly every week.

Whether you are chasing a grail or just looking for your next rotation pickup, this month has options across every price point and silhouette. Here is every Air Jordan dropping in May 2026.

Air Jordan 4 GS “Infrared 23”

The Air Jordan 4 GS “Infrared 23” kicks off May on May 1st, priced at $165. This one is a grade school exclusive, but the colorway makes it easy to see why adults are paying attention too. A black upper sets a clean base, while Barely Volt mesh netting adds a pop of brightness across the side panels.

Infrared 23 takes over on the midsole and outsole, giving the shoe its real identity. A strong option for younger collectors and anyone who fits GS sizing.

Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned”

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” drops May 2nd for $145 and is easily one of the most anticipated releases of the entire month. This is the first time the “Banned” colorway has ever appeared on the Low OG silhouette.

Black tumbled leather covers the base, with varsity red on the toe box, Swoosh, and outsole. A red X replaces the Wings logo on the heel as a nod to the original rebellion story. Do not sleep on this one.

Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day”

The Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” drops May 9th for $195 in women’s sizing, arriving one day before the holiday. The design draws inspiration from 24K gold, nodding to Deloris Jordan, whose push for her son to meet Nike started it all.

A white mesh upper pairs with a gold leather-textured mudguard, while a heart-shaped “My Heart” pendant hangs from the laces. Special packaging and a Mother’s Day card round out the full gift-ready presentation.

The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Brick After Brick” drops May 9th for $225 and is arguably the most anticipated collab of the entire month. The follow-up to his ComplexCon Sneaker of the Year, this one takes the “Fire Red” AJ4 layout and reworks it in Sail leather with Cinnabar accents.

Signature “Bike Air” branding returns on the heel tab alongside the Jordan Biking Co. tongue tag. Michael Jordan himself was spotted wearing the pair, which says everything you need to know.

Air Jordan 3 “Brazil”

The Air Jordan 3 “Brazil” drops May 16th for $225, timed directly to Jordan Brand’s partnership with the Brazilian Football Confederation ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The colorway pulls from Brazil’s away kit, featuring a bold Racer Blue upper, green eyelets, yellow midsole, and pink tongue. Classic elephant print overlays and Nike Air heel branding keep the AJ3 DNA fully intact.

Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Muslin/Shy Pink”

Travis Scott and Jordan Brand drop the “Pink Pack” on May 22nd for $155 per pair, and both colorways release on the same day. The “Muslin/Shy Pink” version shown here features a cream muslin leather base with textured pink suede overlays, a bold red reverse Swoosh, and a pink outsole.

Signature Cactus Jack details return throughout, including the reversed Swoosh and heart embroidery on the tongue label. Originally rumored for 2024 before going quiet, the pack finally arrives after nearly two years of uncertainty.

The second half of the “Pink Pack” also lands May 22nd for $155. The “Sail/Tropical Pink” is the louder of the two, leading with a vibrant pink suede base contrasted by a bold red reverse Swoosh and sail leather overlays.

Pink laces, a cream midsole, and a pink rubber outsole round out the look. Cactus Jack tongue branding and the signature heart detail return here as well. If the “Muslin/Shy Pink” is the subtle pick, this one is unquestionably the statement pair of the pack.

Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline”

The Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline” drops May 23rd for $205 and is one of the most talked-about Jordan 12 releases in years. A blacked-out leather upper dominates the build, with varsity red hitting the metallic eyelets, pull tab, midsole stripe, and outsole.

The combination carries heavy Bulls energy without being a direct Bulls colorway, giving it a dual identity sneakerheads love. Black and red retros historically do not sit at retail.

Air Jordan 3 OG “World’s Best Dad”

The Air Jordan 3 OG “World’s Best Dad” closes out May on the 30th for $215 and carries one of the deepest backstories of any release this year. The design references MJ’s emotional 1996 NBA Finals win on Father’s Day, three years after the murder of his father.

The Sail leather upper swaps the traditional elephant print for a textile replicating the Chicago Bulls locker room carpet from that iconic moment. University Red eyelets, Nike Air heel branding, and a translucent red outsole referencing the “Bred” AJ11 round out the details.

Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo”

Finally, the Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” closes out the month on May 30th for $220, marking the first retro of the colorway in 13 years. Michael Jordan himself showed up to celebrate Tyler Reddick’s fifth NASCAR win of the 2026 season at Kansas Speedway wearing the “Toro Bravo” on his feet.

A rich red upper dominates the build, with black panels, cement grey eyelets and outsole, and white Jumpman branding throughout. This is a loud, Bulls-energy shoe that has been on collectors’ wish lists for over a decade. Overall, A strong way to end the month.

Lil Tjay Claims To Have No Beef With Offset Following Shooting https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/992924-lil-tjay-no-beef-offset Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:51:53 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=992924 Lil Tjay's energy has shifted drastically since his arrest that occurred shortly after the Offset shooting, and it seems things are good.

The post Lil Tjay Claims To Have No Beef With Offset Following Shooting appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A few weeks ago, Lil Tjay seemingly couldn’t despise Offset any more than he was. However, within the last seven days or so, the New York rapper and singer’s energy has taken a complete 180. In a recent impromptu chat with TMZ, the 24-year-old told the outlet that he’s got no issues with the former Migos member.

“I ain’t got no beef for nobody, brother,” he told the interviewer. Immediately after, he promoted his new project. “My album’s coming out May 1st… They Just Ain’t You, it stands for TJAY. l’mma have a lot of controversial sh*t. If y’all want some controversial sh*t, stream the album.”

This comment follows up on his newfound confusion over the whole Offset shooting situation. In a proper sit-down with Billboard he said, “I’m just as confused as everyone else about that. My lawyer told me not to touch on it too much. What I can say is the album will really hit home for my fans.”

It appears that the “Calling My Phone” hitmaker’s crash out following his release from jail has led to his legal representation informing him on how to handle this going forward.

If you remember he went off on Offset telling reporters, “The last thing I see was Offset looking at me like this: ‘Yo, that n**** shot me, that n**** shot me!’ N**** is a rat, n****… I didn’t do no damn fighting. Did I shoot? That sh*t is crazy. I will smack the sh*t out of Offset. He would never play like that with me in his life. Ask Offset.”

Offset Speaks On Casino Shooting

His attorney, Dawn Florio, cleared things up in a more sophisticated way. “The only thing that Lil Tjay was being looked into for was for creating a disturbance. Those are the charges that he’s fighting. As far as I’m aware, there’s no charges related to shooting Offset. There’s video everywhere — there’s no video that shows that Tjay is involved in any of this.”

Tjay was charged with disorderly conduct shortly after ‘Set was shot. But again, it doesn’t seem this had anything to do with the shooting outside of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Offset was also pretty fiery when this story first broke. He clapped back at Tjay calling him a snitch saying, “U ain’t buss nun.”

However, he too has calmed down considerably. In fact, he’s ready to move on completely. In a recent interview he revealed his mentality that’s helping him move forward. Offset said in part, “Got to keep pushing. Gladiator mentality, man. The show don’t ever stop at the end of the day. I was blessed enough to be able to still move. So, I’m still moving. I need to be locked in, working on my craft and figuring out what’s my next move in the music. All the other sh*t was just, like, distractions. Getting in the way of doing sh*t, being in wrong places at the wrong time. But we here, man. I’m pushing, man.”

“Joe Budden Podcast” Debates Donald Trump’s Latest Assassination Attempt https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/992890-joe-budden-podcast-trump-assassination-attempt Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:39:30 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=992890 Cole Allen tried to kill Donald Trump over the weekend at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and now, the "Joe Budden Podcast" debates.

The post “Joe Budden Podcast” Debates Donald Trump’s Latest Assassination Attempt appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Over the weekend, a man named Cole Allen attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. It was a failed attempt, which ultimately led to Allen’s arrest and the discovery of a manifesto.

Overall, the situation was extremely bizarre, and the whole country is talking about what went down. As you can imagine, platforms like The Joe Budden Podcast were all over this story. Political commentator Marc Lamont Hill has proven to be a massive addition to the show, and he is someone the cast looks to during these times.

During a recent segment on the podcast, Hill was asked about his thoughts on the attempted assassination. The former CNN pundit revealed that he doesn’t think political violence is ever the answer, though he isn’t exactly sad about it. Meanwhile, Joe Budden feels like this is a callous way of looking at things.

As the conversation continued, the co-hosts got into conspiracy theory territory. For instance, Parks suggested that this could all be some sort of way to garner sympathy amidst a nosedive in Trump’s popularity. Simply put, some believe this to be an alleged “false flag.”

Joe Budden On Donald Trump

This is a conspiracy theory that has become quite popular online as of late. However, there is no evidence to suggest that this is actually the case. Instead, Allen’s manifesto outlines why he wanted to carry out such an attack.

Since the Summer of 2024, this has been the third attempt on Donald Trump’s life. He was shot in the ear during a rally in Pennsylvania. A few weeks later, someone tried to attack him at his golf course. Meanwhile, there was the most recent attempt on Saturday.

Political violence is seemingly on the rise in the United States. Back in September, Charlie Kirk was killed while giving a talk at a college campus in Utah.

The political climate in the United States has deteriorated over the past few years, and it is clear that the people are more divided than ever before.

D4vd Texts Show Celeste Rivas Had Concerns About Alleged Sexual Relationship https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/992899-d4vd-texts-celeste-rivas-concerns Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:15:24 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=992899 D4vd is currently facing various charges related to the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose remains were found in his Tesla last year.

The post D4vd Texts Show Celeste Rivas Had Concerns About Alleged Sexual Relationship appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

D4vd is currently behind bars facing charges related to the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas. The singer has pleaded not guilty, and his preliminary evidentiary hearing is scheduled for the end of May. In a new filing yesterday (April 29), prosecutors alleged that his motive was to silence the teen. Allegedly, she had threatened to expose him for being with a minor.

The filing also alleges that prosecutors uncovered text messages between D4vd and Rivas, in which she expressed concerns about their relationship. “All we do is have sex and just hang out man I want more than that for myself,” she allegedly told him, per WGFL. Other alleged messages referenced pregnancy, abortion, emergency contraception, and more.

“The messages reveal the victim’s jealousy over defendant’s relationships with other women,” the filing alleges. “She became extremely upset and threatened to disclose damaging information to end his career and destroy his life.”

Celeste Rivas’ Cause Of Death

This is far from all the filing says, however. Prosecutors also accuse D4vd of purchasing two chainsaws online after Rivas’ murder, and using them to dismember her in an inflatable pool in his garage. Allegedly, D4vd sent a rideshare car to pick Rivas up from her hometown of Lake Elsinore in April of 2025. Her phone went silent shortly after she got to his Hollywood home.

“Knowing he had to silence the victim before she ruined his music career as she had threatened, very soon after her arrival at his home, defendant stabbed the victim to death multiple times and stood by while she bled out,” prosecutors allege.

D4vd’s legal team continues to deny the allegations on his behalf and has vowed to “vigorously defend [his] innocence.”

Supreme x Jordan Brand Spring/Summer 2026 Apparel Collection Confirmed https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/992917-supreme-x-jordan-brand-ss26-collection-streetwear-news Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:15:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=992917 The Supreme x Jordan Brand SS26 apparel collection includes six pieces across three colorways, led by a leather jacket.

The post Supreme x Jordan Brand Spring/Summer 2026 Apparel Collection Confirmed appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Supreme and Jordan Brand are linking up again for a new apparel collection this season. The SS26 collection is apparel-only, with no footwear currently confirmed as part of the drop. That said, the lineup covers enough ground to build a full head-to-toe look from a single collection.

The collection includes a leather jacket at $698, a track jacket at $198, track pants at $178, a full-zip fleece hoodie at $178, a jersey at $148, and shorts at $138. Furthermore, three colorways are expected across most pieces: Black/University Red, Celestine Blue/Summit White, and Fire Pink/University Red.

The palette mixes classic Jordan tones with brighter seasonal options, while branding is expected to combine Supreme’s signature hits with Jordan’s heritage marks across each piece. The coordinated color options across the full range make it easy to build matching sets throughout.

The Supreme x Jordan partnership dates back to 2015, when the two brands released what many consider one of the best Jordan 5 collabs of all time alongside a range of apparel. Additionally, the cultural weight of that original drop set a high bar that subsequent apparel-only collections have worked to match.

No confirmed release date has been announced publicly yet. The collection is expected to drop through Supreme’s usual retail channels. Images have not yet surfaced officially, but the reported lineup is already generating conversation across sneaker and streetwear communities alike.

Supreme x Jordan Brand SS26 Collection

Supreme and Jordan Brand’s history together is one of the most celebrated partnerships in streetwear. Their 2015 collaboration produced co-branded Air Jordan 5s that remain among the most coveted Jordans ever made.

Since then, the two have continued linking up on apparel collections that blend Supreme’s New York street roots with Jordan’s basketball heritage. The SS26 collection leans into sport-inspired silhouettes including track sets, jerseys, and fleece, all designed to work as coordinated fits.

The leather jacket at $698 anchors the lineup as the premium statement piece. When these two brands align on colorways and construction, the results tend to move fast regardless of whether footwear is involved.

The post Young Thug Desperate To Change Name Because Of Jeffrey Epstein appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Young Thug looks like he’s going to do whatever it takes to change his government name. If you didn’t know, the Georgia rapper’s real moniker is Jeffery Lamar Williams II. So, what’s wrong with it? Well, nothing really.

But with all of the chatter around the late Jeffrey Epstein—a convicted child sex trafficker—and the Epstein Files, Thug doesn’t want to be associated with him in the slightest.

As caught by Kurrco, he expressed this in a quote tweet late last night. Thug came across a post from user Dr. Simon, who wrote, “And just like that… everybody stopped talking about the Epstein Files.” Alongside this message was a series of disturbing images of Epstein being inappropriate around children.

This led to disgusted reaction from Thugger who replied, “I’m changing my f*cking name asap bro.” He didn’t go any further than that, so we will see what happens next.

As caught by Complex, Meek Mill is also interested. He asked his former collaborator, “What you gone change it to?”

The Epstein Files would have been a major talking point on their own. However, due to the mentions of numerous celebrities and other big names, it’s sparked rampant discussions online on how elites abuse their power.

Is Young Thug Going To Be On ICEMAN?

Of course, one of those people having alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein is POTUS Donald Trump. It’s led to many debates in political spaces as a result. Trump has refuted his ties to the New York financier, but many people aren’t buying his statements.

But in some more positive news, Young Thug may have a guest spot on Drake’s next album, ICEMAN. The close friends last worked together on the former’s 2023 record BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.

What’s got us and fans believing he’ll be on the May 15 release is the fact that he posted a picture of Drizzy’s massive ice structure that was built in Toronto to promote the album. He also tagged his IG account, champagnepapi, so we feel there’s a good chance he makes the tracklist.

The post Lamine Yamal’s Father Shows His Sneaker Room, And It’s Full Of Air Jordans appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Lamine Yamal is one of the biggest names in football right now, and apparently the love for sneakers runs in the family. Yamal’s father recently shared footage of his personal sneaker room online, and it is drawing significant attention from sneakerheads. The collection is substantial and heavily centered around Jordan Brand.

The room is stacked floor to ceiling with clear drop-front storage boxes. Air Jordan 4s appear to dominate the shelves across multiple colorways. Additionally, Air Jordan 1s, 3s, and various other Jordan Brand silhouettes are visible throughout the collection.

The footage shows a well-organized, serious collection rather than a casual accumulation of pairs. It is the kind of room that makes it clear sneakers are a genuine passion, not just a byproduct of proximity to a famous son. Furthermore, the Supreme hoodie he wears in the clip suggests the interest extends into broader streetwear culture as well.

Lamine Yamal himself is a signed Adidas athlete and the face of several major campaigns. However, his father’s collection tells a different story off the pitch. The Jordan Brand-heavy room is a reminder that sneaker culture crosses every boundary, including sport allegiances.

The clip has circulated widely across sneaker social media since it was posted. For collectors, seeing a wall-to-wall Jordan room from an unexpected figure always generates interest.

Lamine Yamal’s Air Jordan Collection

The Air Jordan 4 is clearly the centerpiece of Yamal’s father’s collection, and it is easy to understand why. The AJ4 is one of the most versatile and consistently popular silhouettes in Jordan Brand’s entire catalog.

Originally released in 1989, the shoe features the iconic mesh net side panels, plastic wing eyelets, and visible Air unit that have made it a staple for over three decades. Colorways range from classic “Bred” and “White Cement” to modern collabs and GS exclusives, giving collectors endless directions to build within the silhouette alone.

Seeing an entire wall dedicated to the AJ4 is a flex that sneakerheads everywhere can respect.

Joseline Hernandez is currently pregnant with her second child, and she appears eager to embark on this next chapter of her life. The reality star recently went live on Instagram to flaunt her growing bump, which she first unveiled earlier this month. In a clip shared by Watch Live Bitez, she expresses shock at how big her baby-to-be has gotten in such a short amount of time.

Hernandez doesn’t bring up any rumors in the video, but social media users suspect this was all an attempt to shut down the theory that she’s not actually expecting. This rumor started recently, and the content creator Gorgeous Doll seems to be the one behind it.

During her own recent livestream, Gorgeous Doll alleged that just a few weeks ago, Hernandez told her she wasn’t able to get pregnant. She even alleged that she watched Hernandez drink a martini.

“You were telling me all of these things, and I felt so bad for you,” she explained. “So for you to come online now and say that you’re pregnant to try to garner support…”

Joseline Hernandez & Lemuel Plummer Drama

This wouldn’t be the only drama Hernandez is wrapped up in lately. She’s also currently at odds with Lemuel Plummer. Earlier this week, she took to social media to accuse the Zeus CEO of trying to sabotage her streaming network, cutting off her payments, and even trafficking women.

“Stopping my payments because I have my own streaming app and I wanted more for my life than just what I had—it’s illegal and it’s just plain evil,” Hernandez declared. “Telling my husband you won’t fund our business is illegal. Telling us to take our content down—it’s illegal. While I’m pregnant it is evil.”

Plummer addressed Hernandez’s allegations on his Instagram Story. “Joseline… Bullying won’t work,” he wrote. “Manipulation won’t work. I’ll continue to move with professionalism and respect.”

Ebro is someone who has never shied away from having some controversial opinions. That has been especially true as of late with the arrival of his new show with Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez.

With Drake’s ICEMAN on the way, listeners are preparing themselves for the hot takes that are about to take place. However, in the meantime, Ebro is delivering some painful commentary that is already making waves on social media this morning.

In the midst of the discourse surrounding Michael Jackson and his career, Ebro offered his unfiltered take on Thriller. Thriller is considered by many to be the greatest pop album of all time. In fact, some would say it is the greatest album of all time, regardless of genre. Despite this, Ebro is not a fan.

During yesterday’s show, Ebro asked Peter Rosenberg if there is any overarching meaning or concept to Thriller. When Rosenberg admitted there isn’t one, the former Hot97 host likened the album to “McDonald’s.”

Ebro On Thriller

Subsequently, Ebro went on to note how there are three skips in a row on the album. While he acknowledges there are some big songs, he just feels like the album isn’t what people portray it to be.

As you can imagine, this hot take created a bit of a firestorm over on social media. Fans love Michael Jackson, and they weren’t going to stand for any Thriller slander. At this point, hating on Thriller comes across as a contrarian take for the sake of being contrarian.

The Internet Reacts

Below, you can find numerous reactions on social media. These reactions are mostly on the side of outrage. There is this sense that Ebro and his co-hosts are simply looking to engagement farm these days. Ultimately, this kind of punditry is going to garner some criticism. We see it in the sports world all the time, and now, it is extending to the world of music.

In the end, Ebro got what he wanted. People are online debating Michael Jackson’s artistry. Thriller is being re-examined, and that probably wouldn’t have happened without this latest method of rage bait.

Pardison Fontaine Responds To Internet Scrutiny Tied To Megan Thee Stallion https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/992843-pardison-fontaine-responds-megan-thee-stallion-fans-amid-breakup Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:01:36 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=992843 Pardison Fontaine has made some interesting posts online amid Megan The Stallion's breakup, and her fans have taken notice.

The post Pardison Fontaine Responds To Internet Scrutiny Tied To Megan Thee Stallion appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Pardison Fontaine has been stirring the pot amid Megan The Stallion’s breakup this week with some eyebrow-raising social media posts. That’s at least what the femcee’s fan base believes after the rapper and songwriter posted himself covering Jagged Edge’s “He Can’t Love U” earlier on.

It was the lyrics he sung that led to this furious speculation that he was referencing his relationship with her. “And you should never wanna be with a man if he can’t be a man / And do the things to you like I can (Like I do, baby) / I’m telling you, he can’t love you like I love you.”

The timing of this post was also interesting as Megan Thee Stallion announced her split from Klay Thompson just a couple of days prior.

But it seems that Pardison Fontaine isn’t trying to speak on his ex. In his eyes, her fans are running with this narrative that he is. In a clip caught by The Shade Room, he likens the situation to a television series saying things like how his “character hasn’t been on this show in three seasons” and that he’s been “replaced multiple times.”

Read More: “Views” Was The Moment Drake Stopped Trying To Be The Greatest Rapper Alive

Did Klay Thompson Cheat On Megan Thee Stallion?

Additionally, Fontaine, 36, doesn’t know why he’s “involuntarily kept in this email thread of this d*mn show.” But while he’s also tired of seeing mentions of “the new character” he affirms that he’s not relishing Megan Thee Stallion’s breakup. Fontaine expresses he takes “no pleasure” in doing something like that.

He doesn’t mention the Houston native nor the Dallas Mavericks shooting guard by name. But given the timing (again), it’s not hard to see who and what he’s alluding to.

This side storyline has been a major talking point all week, as well as the alleged infidelity that Thompson committed. When Megan announced that they were going separate ways, she wrote in an Instagram Story post claiming this.

“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet.’ Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’???? b***h I need a REAL break after this one.. bye yall.”

In a statement to TMZ, she issued a similar message. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”
