The Best Sneaker Releases From Foot Locker March 2026

After an extremely cold start to the new year, filled with blizzards and freezing temps across much of the US, warmer weather is finally on the horizon. Coinciding with the changing season is a packed sneaker release calendar for the month of March. So instead of having to wait for the snow to melt to rock any of these new releases, you’ll be able to lace them up and partake in all your favorite activities.

A premier destination to cop the latest sneakers will be Foot Locker, whose release calendar is stuffed to the brim with high-heat we’ve all been waiting to get our hands on. Some highlights include the re-release of the “big bubble” Air Max 95 Neon, One Piece and Crocs’ Classic Clog collection, Easter-themed Nike sneakers, and the first retro of the Nike KD 6 PB&J.

Below, we’ve listed out all of the best sneaker releases that will be available to purchase from Foot Locker this month. While you wait for these shoes to hit shelves, you can shop all of the latest sneaker drops here.

Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble OG Neon - 03/05

It’s a classic for a reason. Nike’s Air Max 95 in the Neon colorway is highly coveted, and thankfully, this time around, it’ll be available at Foot Locker. The greyscale color scheme is accented by pops of neon yellow on select portions of the upper, and yet it somehow goes with almost any outfit in your wardrobe.

Air Jordan 40 Metallic Copper - 03/05

Jordan Brand hasn’t had this much success with a numbered Air Jordan sneaker in years, as the Jordan 40 continues to prove it's a hit in the eyes of hoopers and sneakerheads. The latest release coats the model in a metallic copper.

Nike Ja 3 Murray State - 03/05

Ja Morant pays homage to his alma mater, Murray State, with his Nike Ja 3 sneaker. The school’s color palette is mismatched between the left and right shoes.

Jordan Luka 5 Lakers - 03/05

The shock from the Luka Doncic trade has most definitely worn off, and we all see him as a Laker now. Quickly pivoting from his Dallas Mavs-friendly color schemes on previous models, Jordan Brand has made a Luka 5 colorway perfect for Lakers home games.

One Piece Crocs Collection - 03/05

Crocs and the hit manga/anime series One Piece are teaming up for a collection of Classic Clogs themed after characters. Included are pairs for Luffy and Chopper, each featuring color schemes, Jibbitz, and a graphic print that represents them.

Nike Griffey Max 1 Royal Volt - 03/06

Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the few baseball players to have a successful signature sneaker line, and even decades after his retirement, demand remains strong for his original Nike shoe. A non-OG colorway of the Griffey Max 1, the Royal Volt, is coming back.

adidas AE 2 Multicolor - 03/07

If you were lucky enough to be in Los Angeles for All-Star Weekend, you had a chance at copping the adidas AE 2 Multicolor early via Foot Locker’s Takeover of LA Live. Now, the pair is dropping online in the first week of March as a Foot Locker exclusive release.

Jordan 4 Imperial Purple - 03/07

Michael Jordan’s fourth signature sneaker is primed for a purple makeover that perfectly aligns with the Los Angeles Lakers’ color palette. These Air Jordan 4s are coated in purple with yellow accents found throughout.

Jordan 13 Chicago - 03/13

An OG is about to hit shelves once again. Jordan Brand is finally bringing back the Chicago Air Jordan 13 for the first time since 2017. This colorway, which MJ himself laced up during his final season with the Bulls, is one of the original seven colorways released in the late ‘90s.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Easter - 03/13

The changing of seasons brings with it Easter celebrations across the world, and Nike has prepped an Air Force 1 that will be perfect for egg hunts. The pastel-shaded patent leather colorway also matches a Nike Dunk Low that hits shelves the same day.

Nike Dunk Low Easter - 03/13

To go alongside the previously mentioned Air Force 1 Low Easter is a Dunk Low in a similar pastel color palette. The colorblocking is slightly different between the two shoes, but they share the same purple, yellow, teal, and pink color scheme.

One Piece x Crocs Classic Clog Roronoa Zoro - 3/14

Following the release of Luffy and Chopper colorways of the One Piece x Crocs Classic Clog, Foot Locker will be the exclusive retailer to cop the Roronoa Zoro colorway from. Like its predecessors, this pair features graphics, Jibbitz, and colors representing the titular character of Roronoa Zoro.

Nike Ja 3 At Dawn - 03/19

Nike Basketball has prepped a multi-shoe collection of basketball sneakers dubbed “Unseen Hours,” which represents the tri-state area of New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, as well as the dedication it takes to perfect your craft. One pair is a Nike Ja 3 in a gradient upper mimicking a sunrise/sunset. This pair will be exclusively available at Foot Locker and have matching apparel as well.

Nike GT Future Unseen Hours - 03/19

Another pair in Nike Basketball’s Unseen Hours pack is this Nike GT Future. The model is coated in an iridescent eggplant purple hue, while the insole features a custom nighttime view of lit-up streets in a busy city. Just like the Ja 3 in this pack, the GT Future will be exclusive to Foot Locker and have matching apparel.

Nike KD 6 PB&J - 03/20

Who doesn’t love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Kevin Durant sure does love him some PB&J, as his Nike KD 6 honoring the staple food is coming back for its first-ever retro release.

Nike Zoom Hyperflight Black - 03/20

Nike’s archival bag runs deep, with plenty of Y2K-era models collecting dust as we speak. Luckily, the Zoom Hyperflight is rising from the ashes and getting a retro run in 2026. One of the first pairs to hit shelves is this triple-black variant, coated in patent leather.

Puma Hali 1 Citrus - 03/20

Although we haven’t seen Tyrese Haliburton lace up his signature sneaker at all this season (he’s still recovering from injury), Puma has dropped a steady supply of Hali 1s for the public to cop. Next up for the Puma Hali 1 is this Citrus rendition. This colorway will be exclusively released at Foot Locker.

Air Jordan 14 Black University Blue - 03/21

A non-OG Air Jordan 14 is returning for its 20th birthday. That would be the Black University Blue colorway, which first hit shelves in 2006 and has not been seen since. The model is covered in black suede with university blue accents on select details.

adidas Harden Volume 10 Purple - 03/21

James Harden’s 10th signature sneaker with adidas has proved to be a hit. The latest from the adidas Harden Vol. 10 is a purple and black iteration. Most of the model is rendered in purple, with accenting pops of lemon found on the Three Stripes on the heel.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro University Blue - 03/27

Finishing the month is the return of another 2000s classic, with the Nike Air Foamposite Pro University Blue. This colorway was only released in 2003, making it nearly a quarter-century since Nike last dropped the sneaker.
