Sneaker News Jordan Brand is embracing the darker side of Fall with its October 2026 release calendar. Summer is way behind us, fashion sense shifts to darker shades, and the looming Halloween holiday has us wanting to dress up more than ever.
October is stacked with release, but it’s led by the arrival of the Air Jordan “Black Pack.” The all-black collection brings the Air Jordan 16 and Air Jordan 14 Low back into focus this month, offering a clean reset from the brighter colors of summer. The seasonal theme continues with the Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” on October 17th, while the Air Jordan 14 “Forest Green” — the first-ever drop since 2005 — closes out the month on October 31st.
Collaborations are in play as well with J Balvin’s Air Jordan 4 “Amazonas” and SoleFly’s Air Jordan 5 on the slate for a drop to start the final quarter of the year.
Below is a comprehensive rundown of every Air Jordan Retro release for the month; flip through to get acquainted and check back for updates, store list info, and more.
