Jordan Brand just unveiled some serious heat for what will probably be a very jolly holiday season for sneakerheads.
While Jordan Brand didn’t include dates or pricing information in its announcement, it did provide detailed images of its upcoming releases.
Air Jordan I Retro High Flyknit Royal
After the initial release of the ‘Banned’ colorway, Jordan Brand is set to drop this Royal and black colorway for the holidays. The shoe replaces leather with Flyknit technology on the classic Air Jordan 1 to modernize the silhouette. It will debut on October 7 for $200.
Air Jordan 12 Bordeaux
Jordan’s Bordeaux has long been a fan-favorite hue used on several Jordan retros as an accent color in the past decades. Now, the Air Jordan 12 is getting another Bordeaux build, inspired by France’s storied winemaking history, with a premium smooth suede upper.
Air Jordan 12 Dark Grey
The second Air Jordan 12 for the holidays utilizes a Dark Grey suede upper for a fashionable off-court vibe. What appear to be plastic gold lace eyelets pay homage to the OG ‘Taxi’ colorway.
Air Jordan 13 Black/Altitude
Since its 2005 debut, this Air Jordan 13 has been a fan-favorite that solidified its place in Jordan history. This release will feature the OG leather upper in its truest form.
Golden Harvest and Elemental Gold Releases
The Air Jordan I, Air Jordan 6, and Air Jordan 13 will all get the Golden Harvest and Elemental Gold treatment this holiday season. While synonymous with the winter theme, the soft suede uppers have not been advertised as weather-resistant.

They really went out of their way to make sure they could create a Poor Man’s PSNY and make sure it looked way different. Literally the two main differences – the gold eyelets and white outsole – ruin that grey 12 for me.
Excited for the Altitude 13’s, though since they’re running the leather base finish.
for me personally, those 2 are just fine. also the colorway is much better for me compared to the colorway used on the PSNY, and miles better over the dark blues that came out.
What am I looking at?
