2025 was one for the history books. Jordan Brand cracked open the vault and delivered retro after retro, including modern classics like the Nigel Sylvester 4s and even the legendary UNDEFEATED Jordan 4 finally releasing to the public, something that would have felt unthinkable just a few years ago. With the Air Jordan line’s 40th anniversary now in the rearview mirror, 2026 has the potential to match, if not surpass, the heat we saw over the past twelve months.
As with last year, we’ll be breaking down how 2026 unfolds with monthly previews of every Jordan retro release. January kicks things off at a relatively calm pace, acting as a reset after a hectic holiday season that brought us the “Gamma” 11s and “Black Cat” 4s. The month’s biggest release was originally slated to be the “Wolf Grey” 5s, but that retro has since been pushed to February. The spotlight instead shifts to the Air Jordan 9 “Flint,” a 2002 style now returning for its first-ever retro.
Elsewhere in January, fans of the Air Jordan 4 “Military Black” will want to keep an eye out for a new black-and-white AJ4 dubbed the “Flight Club,” inspired by Jordan Brand’s old fan program from the late ’80s and early ’90s. Fresh takes on both classic and modern silhouettes are sprinkled throughout the rest of the month.
We’ve compiled a full list of all the biggest January Jordans, sorted by release date and accompanied by images and purchase links. New pairs can surface at any time, so be sure to bookmark our Jordan Release Dates page (or add it to your phone’s home screen) to stay locked in all month long.
