We’ll have no shortage of ways to celebrate Space Jam’s 30th anniversary in 2026, as Jordan Brand has prepped a wide-ranging collection of apparel and sneakers. This includes a Monstars Green Screen and Magic Ball AJ 11, a Lola Bunny AJ 3, a retro of the OG Space Jam Jordan 11s, and many more. Now, after getting an official look at a kids Air Jordan 1 Low SE, we have photos of the adult pair and a clearer picture of the sneaker’s theme.
Jordan’s first silhouette comes coated in multiple colors across its iridescent paneling, featuring bronze details on the mudguard, green-ish purple on the toebox, midfoot, and heel, and a mix of purple and blue on the eyelets. Each panel shifts in color based on the viewing angle, with this design choice inspired by the magic ball in Space Jam that gives the turns the Nerdlucks into the Monstars. Solid black hits ground the colorway on the lace set, tongue, sockliner, and Swoosh. Atop the tongue, the left shoe features a traditional Jumpman, done in a green outline, but the right has a new Hare Jordan Jumpman.

More branding for Jordan is found on the heel, with the Air Jordan Wings logo embroidered in white. Inside, the standard Jumpman on the insole is removed for a Space Jam 30th anniversary logo featuring Jordan’s famous pose in the middle of galactic rings. Finishing the sneaker is the black midsole and glow-in-the-dark outsole. Special packaging ties everything together, with the box containing a collage of cartoon drawings and the Hare Jordan Jumpman logo.
The Air Jordan 1 Low SE Space Jam Magic Ball will be released Holiday 2026 alongside the rest of the Space Jam x Air Jordan collection through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in full-family sizing, the retail price is set at $130 (men), $100 (GS), $80 (PS), and $70 (TD).
