Sneaker News Is 2026 shaping up to be an even better year than 2025 for Jordan fans? Yet another classic Retro is expected to join the release slate as the Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” is poised for a return next year. It joins the Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” and the Infrared 6s as some of the confirmed drops for 2026, continuing a strategy that has relied on repurposed hits of the past.
