One of the most beloved Air Jordan sneakers of all time will headline Jordan Brand’s 2026 Holiday season.
News has surfaced that the Bred 4 is expected to make a return next year. This upcoming retro will mark the seventh time the Bred 4 releases. The 2026 retro will come two years after the ‘Reimagined’ Bred 4, which was released in 2024. Of course, that pair replaced the iconic nubuck with a premium leather.
The 2026 Air Jordan Bred 4 is expected to be the first time the sneaker returns in “OG Form” since the 2019 retro release. Seven years since its last release, the 2026 retro will seemingly arrive as the sneaker that will anchor Jordan Brand’s Holiday 2026 lineup.
The difference from the 2019 pair, though, is that the 2026 retro is expected to use to have the same mold as the current run of retro Air Jordan 4s. The mold, of course, was introduced when Jordan Brand partnered with Nike SB for the ‘Pine Green’ 4s. Since then, Jordan Brand has utilized the mold for other retro releases. The 2026 Bred is expected to use it, as well.
Before you all start to wonder, yes, the heel will feature ‘Nike Air’ branding.
