Every Space Jam Air Jordan Releasing in 2026

Jordan Brand knows how to celebrate an anniversary. Last year, the label sent out a barrage of hit bring-backs in honor of 40 years of His Airness’ sneaker empire, but for 2026, the focus has shifted to another moment in MJ’s illustrious career: his starring role in the 1996 film Space Jam. Sure, there’s the obvious two candidates to commemorate Jordan’s silver screen scenes in the movie, the Air Jordan 11 and Air Jordan 9 Space Jam, both of which were worn by Michael throughout the picture. But there’s more up Jordan Brand’s sleeve for the Space Jam 30th anniversary celebrations.

In addition to the AJ 11 and AJ 9 Space Jam, there’s a brand-new Air Jordan 11 colorway honoring the people you technically never saw in the film. Well, you did see the animated Monstars go up against Jordan, but in real life, the scenes were shot using actors in green screen suits, which helped inspire the Air Jordan 11 Retro Green Screen. There's also a third AJ 11 made exclusively for the ladies that's inspired by the ball the Nerdlucks use to transform into the Monstars.

Check below for all 14 Space Jam Air Jordan sneakers that will be released throughout 2026. In addition to the pairs listed, more colorways and sneakers are expected. We’ll be updating this list in real time as more pairs are revealed, and we’ll be keeping you in the loop via the Sole Retriever mobile app once pairs do start to hit shelves.

Air Jordan 9 Retro Space Jam - 09/19

The first of two Air Jordans that Michael laced up in Space Jam, the OG colorway of the Air Jordan 9 returned with special packaging honoring the film on September 19, 2026. The shoe retains its classic white and black look with red accents throughout, reserving the Space Jam nods to the box.

Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam - 12/12

The Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam is the pair most remember from the movie, and rightfully so. It wasn’t given a retail release until four years after the film debuted, and it’s become one of the most coveted Air Jordan 11s of all time. The 2026 retro of the Space Jam 11s will feature the number “23” on the heel as opposed to the “45” that was used in the movie, and the Jumpman branding features a varsity royal hue. The original 2000 release and the ‘09 retro featured this shade, but when you watch Space Jam, you’ll notice MJ’s pair uses concord purple, which was used on the 2016 retro.

Air Jordan 11 Retro Green Screen - November 11, 2026

A brand new Space Jam Jordan 11 is getting released in 2026 with the Green Screen colorway. The pair honors the green screen suits worn by actors to help shoot scenes with MJ playing against the Monstars, with the entire upper doused in green suede.

Air Jordan 11 Retro Magic Ball (W) - November 14, 2026

A third pair of Space Jam Jordan 11s emerged thanks to official photos of new Space Jam apparel. The new colorway is a women's exclusive that is inspired by the basketball the Nerdlucks use to gain their basketball powers, turning them into the Monstars.

Air Jordan 3 Retro Lola Bunny (GS) - November 21, 2026

The kids are getting an exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 3 inspired by Lola Bunny. The pair features pink and blue hues, primarily inspired by her Toon Squad uniform. References to her role in the film are found on the insole, including the quote “Don’t Ever Call Me Doll.”

Air Jordan 1 Low SE Space Jam Magic Ball - November 5, 2026

This pair of Air Jordan 1 Lows is done in an iridescent finish in different shades and features a Bugs Bunny recreation of the Jumpman logo on the tongue. This same logo appears on the packaging alongside a Space Jam 30th-anniversary logo. That same Jumpman-laden logo is also found on the insole. Just like the women's Air Jordan 11, the pair is inspired by the magic ball in the film.

Air Jordan 1 Mid SE Space Jam - November 5, 2026

Though not connected to one specific moment in the film. the Air Jordan 1 Mid Space Jam adds the Hare Jordan Jumpman logo to the mid-top version of MJ's first silhouette. The model comes covered in a mixture of blue tint and black, with the new logo added to the tongue of the right shoe.

Air Jordan OG Space Jam Amusement Park (W) - November 5, 2026

Jordan Brand's bring-back of the first women's Air Jordan silhouette, the Air Jordan OG, includes a colorway in the Space Jam collection. The pair is inspired by the amusement park that the Monstars planned on imprisoning Michael Jordan in, with the color scheme directly pulling from the failing park, Moron Mountain, in the movie.

Jordan Spizike Low Space Jam Jam Central - November 5, 2026

Spike Lee's films are far more intricate and have deeper messaging than Space Jam, but the director's Jordan lineup is joining the celebration. Both pairs are inspired by the archival Space Jam website that launched in 1996, with the Spizike Low named after the section of the site that hosted production notes, photos from the film, and more.

Jordan Son of Mars Low Space Jam Lunar Tunes - November 5, 2026

The final pair of Spike Lee Jordans in the Space Jam collection is the Son of Mars Low. Jordan Brand took inspiration from the Lunar Tunes section of the OG Space Jam website, which hosted info about the soundtrack. Though no overt references to the site are present, they took the Lunar reference literally and covered most of the sneaker in a grey you'd see on the moon's surface.

Air Jordan 11 MCS Space Jam - November 5, 2026

Even though the MLB playoffs will be over by the time these shoes release, Jordan Brand has created a pair of Air Jordan 11 MCS baseball cleats to honor Space Jam. The pair uses a lapis color palette across the upper, with black accents throughout.

Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Spiked Space Jam - November 5, 2026

Expanding the on-field Space Jam kicks to the golf course, the Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Spiked Space Jam would've been the perfect kicks for MJ to wear in the film. The sneaker features an iridescent purple and black mix, with golf spikes added to the outsole.

Air Jordan 41 Space Jam - November 5, 2026

The latest performance basketball sneaker from MJ's signature line, the Air Jordan 41, gets its own Space Jam colorway. While the connection and theme aren't as overt as other pairs, the shoe comes with a light blue finish. The only reference to the film is found on the insole, which hosts the Jordan x Space Jam 30th anniversary logo.

Jordan Triangle Space Jam - November 5, 2026

Another on-court pair in the Space Jam collection is the Jordan Triangle. Like the Air Jordan 41, the Jordan Triangle Space Jam features a light blue finish, reserving its Space Jam references for the insole.
