Andrew Rizzo May could very well go down as the most stacked month for 2026 Jordan releases when it’s all said and done. At the very least, it’s easily the most top-heavy.
Two major collaborations lead the charge, starting with Nigel Sylvester’s highly anticipated “Brick After Brick” Jordan 4. We’re also finally getting the Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low “Pink Pack,” a duo nearly two full years in the making.
The rest of the month is noticeably more lowkey, but there are still some standouts, namely the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” and the Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo.” As always, we’ve compiled all of May’s releases below with images, purchase links, and brief breakdowns. Keep scrolling to dive in.
Air Jordan 4 “Infrared 23” (May 1st)
Jordan Brand is coming correct with an A1 kids pair to kick off the month, right on time for summer camp flexing. The Air Jordan 4 “Infrared 23” features a bright, in-your-face midsole paired with a mostly black upper. Green hits on the tongue and side netting add an extra pop.
