Jordan Release Calendar

With 40 years of signature sneakers under its belt and an endless catalog of retros, it can be hard for Jordan Brand to drop a colorway without bringing back memories of past colorways. Luckily, that nostalgia is more than welcome, especially when it comes in Wolf Grey. The latest Air Jordan 40 set to hit shelves in early 2026 is a callback to the classic greyscale color schemes used across the Jordan lineup.
The Air Jordan 40 Wolf Grey adds the darkest shade of grey to the toe with premium textured leather. A lighter shade of grey covers the rest of the upper behind that in more leather, with even lighter grey reinforced mesh covering the lace and heel panels. The Jumpman logo on the heel is embroidered in the same grey shade as the rest of the tongue for a subtle look, and Nike branding on the heel is added in more dark grey.

While recent numbered Air Jordan models have been largely considered for their on-court performance as opposed to their off-court aesthetic, the Air Jordan 40 has been one of the bigger successes in recent numbered history, in large part thanks to the referential hybrid models like the Air Jordan 4016, 4023, and 4014.
The Air Jordan 40 Wolf Grey will be released January 8, 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $205. For all the latest Jordan news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
