More and more, it feels like any date on the calendar worth celebrating will equally arrive with a pair of shoes to celebrate with. Hot on the heels of news regarding the Air Jordan 3 “Santa” queued up for the end of 2026, the Air Jordan 12 is nestling up to its own “Eggnog” edition.

Early sources indicate an accurate recipe of cream uppers and nutmeg brown accents, deliberately reported as closely hewing to the blocking pictured below. Obviously, the narrative overall ties to the Christmas season, but these are on tap for early on in the Holiday season, expected to land in October rather than closer to primetime for the cozy brew. Ultimately, we wouldn’t be shocked if these come out looking something like the Jordan 8 “Egg Nog,” a PE passed down as a holiday gift back in 2022 and one that shared the same white-dominant, brown-accented arrangement promised here.

We’ll get further clarification on any potential material twists or turns as this pair’s launch creeps closer. For now, peruse early speculative mock-up renderings below and watch our 2026 Jordan Release Dates hub for more info.
