Drops to watch

Sneaker Release Calendar: Fall and Holiday 2026

This calendar only lists drops we could trace to a brand launch page or a reputable sneaker outlet. Confirmed means the date and price appear on the official Nike SNKRS page. Reported means a sneaker outlet has published an expected date that the brand has not yet posted.

Holiday Jordan dates in particular tend to move, so reported items are a guide, not a promise. Want the backstory on the shoe that started it all? Read /air-jordan-1/.

Release dates and prices change, sometimes the week of a drop. Always check the retailer or the brand's app before you plan around a date. Fly Baller is not affiliated with Nike, Jordan Brand or any retailer.

How to read this calendar

Confirmed drops come straight from a SNKRS product page that shows the date, the price and a style code. Reported drops come from sneaker outlets that track Jordan Brand's schedule, and those dates can slide or disappear.

If you are buying to resell, our page on /sneaker-resale-culture/ explains how the after-market works and why hype does not always mean profit.
