Preview some rumored Air Jordan releases for 2018.

Jordan Brand still has plenty of heat on deck for the remainder of 2017, including a plethora of brand new Air Jordan 6s, a couple of highly anticipated Air Jordan 11s, and the new "Banned" Air Jordan 1 Flyknit.

And those are just a handful of the releases that we know about. Surely, Jordan Brand has even more tricks up their sleeve before we get to the Holiday season.

As is always the case this time of year, rumors regarding what sneakers will be releasing in the new year have already surfaced and it includes one of the most popular Air Jordan 1s, as well as some other classic Js.

The black and grey "Shadow" Air Jordan 1s will reportedly be featured as part of Jordan Brand's 2018 lineup, marking the first time the beloved shoe has released since 2013. The kicks, one of the OG Air Jordan 1 colorways, were originally rumored to drop this year but it appears Jordan Brand is pushing the release back until next year.

Another sneaker that was rumored for this year, the unreleased "Katrina" Air Jordan 3, is also reportedly set to finally release in 2018, though you shouldn't hold your breath.

Additionally, two of the more popular Air Jordan XIVs are also on tap for 2018, according to @Zsneakerheadz (via @Soleheatonfeet). The sneaker source claims both the white/red "Candy Cane" Air Jordan XIV and the black/red "Last Shot" Air Jordan XIV will be making their return to retailers next year. It's worth noting, next June will mark the 20th anniversary of Michael Jordan's game-winning "Last Shot" over Utah's Bryon Russell in the NBA Finals, so those kicks figure to release in June in honor of MJ's 6th NBA championship.

On top of that, @Zsneakerheadz mentioned a couple more notable Air Jordan releases for 2018, including the "Dark Shadow" and "Steel" Air Jordan 10s, a pair of grey Air Jordan 11 Lows, a new "Desert Sand" Air Jordan XIV and the "Melo" Air Jordan 2, which serves as a nod to Carmelo Anthony's Denver Nuggets days.

It's too early to truly know when any of those sneakers will be releasing, and there will surely be more leaks as we get closer to the new year, but for now we have a taste of what to look forward to.
