The Best Sneaker Drops from JD Sports March 2026

Look how fast the calendar is turning; we’re already in the month of March. After a predictably dry January and a packed release month with February (thanks to the NBA All-Star event), March is coming at us with a solid schedule full of OG bring-backs, new takes on classics, and, of course, Air Max sneakers. It is Air Max Month after all.

JD Sports will be the place to cop all of the hottest releases for the month of March, from the return of the Air Max 95 Neon in the first week of the new month to OG Jordan bring-backs like the Jordan 13 Chicago. We’ve rounded up the best sneaker releases from JD Sports for the month of March and have included release dates alongside Exclusive Access dates/times (if applicable).

Nike Air Max 95 Neon - 03/05

The legendary sneaker is back. Sergio Lozano’s Nike Air Max 95 returns in its original Neon colorway with a “big bubble” build just like the OG from ‘95. JD Sports will be the premier retailer to secure the Neon 95s, both online and in-store. Quick-tip: check with your local JD to see if they will be releasing first-come-first-served in-store.

Hello Kitty x Converse Collection - 03/05

Sanrio’s Hello Kitty and Friends franchise comes to life on a set of five different Chuck Taylors. Two pairs feature a sticker-covered upper featuring all of Sanrio’s favorite characters, while another depicts a picnic between the crew. Finally, there’s a pair dedicated to Cinnamoroll and a final colorway with friendship bracelet-like graphics printed on the canvas.

Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Varsity Royal - 03/06

Ken Griffey Jr.’s first signature sneaker with Nike returns in the Varsity Royal Volt colorway. The pair is not technically an OG colorway as it was first released in 2009, but this only marks its third time on shelves following a retro in 2021.

Air Jordan 4 Retro Lakers - 03/07

Exclusive Access for Shipping - 03/04 at 9 AM ET

Although Michael Jordan never laced up his sneakers for the Los Angeles Lakers, Jordan Brand is paying homage to the franchise with an all-new colorway of the Air Jordan 4. This Lakers rendition drapes the silhouette in purple hues and yellow accents.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Psychic Blue Pale Ivory - 03/07

An all-original Jordan 1 High colorway, this new women’s exclusive Psychic Blue Pale Ivory rendition of MJ’s first sneaker features added hairclips for customization of the sneaker. If you really wanted to, you could also use them for their actual intended purpose.

Air Jordan 13 Retro Chicago - 03/13

Exclusive Access for In-Store - 03/09 at 9 AM ET

Exclusive Access for Shipping - 03/10 at 9 AM ET

Who doesn’t love an OG Air Jordan colorway? Jordan Brand knows this and has plans for a ton of different original releases in 2026. One of the first is the Jordan 13 Chicago, a pair that MJ laced up during his final days as a member of the Chicago Bulls.

adidas AE 2 Bulldawg - 03/14

Anthony Edwards may be a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, but his signature sneaker line with adidas always pays tribute to his alma mater, the University of Georgia. This Bulldawgs colorway uses a color palette that would fit perfectly on the Georgia Bulldogs home court.

Air Jordan 1 Retro Low Floral Swoosh - 03/18

Thankfully, the extreme winter weather is (hopefully) behind us for good, so it’s time to celebrate the impending springtime. If you want a pair of Jordans for this occasion, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Floral Swoosh is perfect thanks to its cream color palette and floral embroidery.

Nike KD 6 PB&J - 03/20

Kevin Durant’s sixth signature sneaker is finally making a comeback, and one of the first colorways to be re-released is the homage to everyone’s favorite school lunch sandwich, the PB&J.

Nike Book 2 Must Be The Denim - 03/20

The University of Kentucky’s men’s basketball team completed one of the most legendary NCAA seasons 30 years back, all while rocking denim uniforms and sneakers on the court. As a callback to this time, Devin Booker, who also played for UK during his college days in the 2010s, is dropping his signature Nike Book 2 in a denim-covered colorway.

Air Jordan 14 Retro Black University Blue - 03/21

Exclusive Access for Shipping - 03/17 at 9 AM ET

It’s been 20 years since Jordan Brand dropped the Air Jordan 14 Black University Blue, and it will finally make a comeback near the end of March. The colorway is a non-OG, but it looks like something Mike could have worn when he played for the University of North Carolina.

Nike Air Max 95 Pink Foam - 03/26

While the start of the month is a total dedication to the Neon Air Max 95, Nike is celebrating Air Max Day proper (March 26) with a restock of the women’s exclusive Pink Foam colorway. The pair was made famous in the 2020s thanks to a Kim Kardashian co-sign, and when it returned in “big bubble” form last year, it sold out quickly.

Air Jordan 3 Retro Spring is in the Air - 03/28

Exclusive Access for In-Store - 03/24 at 9 AM ET

Exclusive Access for Shipping - 03/26 at 9 AM ET

Another celebration of the springtime from Jordan Brand, the Air Jordan 3 Retro Spring is in the Air is expected to release in the final days of March as we really enter the spring season. The pair uses pastel hues perfect for an Easter celebration, all while grounded by cream tones.
