We’ve still got key 2025 drops like the “Black Cat” 4s to check off, but we’re already starting to get a solid grasp of what next year will look like. For our purposes, 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the Air Jordan 12 — one of the most beloved Jordan models of all time (especially among the OG collector crowd). Now joining the “Bloodline” 12s among other 2026 Jordan releases is a “Bucks” edition pegged for next Fall, tipped off by @zSneakerHeadz and @sneakerfiles.

Reminiscent of Milwaukee Bucks team colors, the sneaker is expected to feature a green mudguard and outsole paired with a white leather upper, similar to the color blocking of the Jordan 12 “Taxi” (which is returning November 2025, by the way). A more accurate comparison, perhaps, is the Air Jordan 12 “Blueberry” from late 2024 — a new colorway with OG-minded color blocking that ended up being one of the biggest sleepers of that year.

The Air Jordan 12 “Bucks” is currently slated to release during the Fall 2026 shopping season, meaning between next July and September. We’ll keep our coverage updated with all available information, including in-hand looks, official images, and firm release details. For now, the speculative mockup below provides a solid idea of what to expect.
