November 2026 is stacked: Jordan Brand opens the month with a full Space Jam 30th anniversary collection on 5 November and closes it with the Air Jordan 4 'Bred' on Black Friday. In between come the Air Jordan 6 'White Infrared', the Black Pack Air Jordan 15, a global return for the Kobe 8 Protro 'Shanghai Fireworks' and a green suede Air Jordan 11 that nods to the original film shoot.

Every date below is the US/global launch date confirmed by two sneaker sources. New Zealand is a day ahead of the US, so local timing can land a day either side; anything not yet locked in is marked TBC.

November 2026 release dates at a glance

5 November: the Space Jam 30th anniversary collection

Thirty years after Space Jam hit cinemas, Jordan Brand is marking the anniversary with a wide collection built around the Air Jordan 11, plus an Air Jordan 1 Low SE 'Magic Ball', an Air Jordan 1 Mid SE, an Air Jordan 3, golf and cleat versions and apparel. The 'Magic Ball' name points to the basketball the Monstars used to steal the NBA players' talent in the film. A women's Air Jordan 11 'Magic Ball' with a colour-shifting upper is also part of the story, with its date TBC.

The Air Jordan 1 Low SE 'Magic Ball' is already listed on IYW: shop the Space Jam x Jordan 1 Low SE Magic Ball, or browse the full Jordan 1 Low collection.

7 November: Air Jordan 6 'White Infrared'

The Air Jordan 6 is the shoe Michael Jordan wore to his first championship in 1991, and the white-and-Infrared pairing is one of its two defining colourways. The 2026 retro is an OG-spec return with Nike Air branding back on the heel, the detail collectors chase on every Jordan 6 retro. Expect the familiar white leather upper, black midsole panels and Infrared hits on the lace lock, heel tab and tongue.

If you want an Infrared 6 on your feet before the drop, see the Air Jordan 6 'Reverse Infrared Salesman' and everything else in our Jordan 6 collection.

7 November: Air Jordan 15 'Black Pack'

Jordan Brand's Black Pack revisits four of the more underrated models in the line, the 14, 15, 16 and 17, in premium all-black colourways. The Air Jordan 16 arrived on 3 October, and the Air Jordan 15 follows on Saturday 7 November. This one has picked up the 'Snakeskin' nickname thanks to its textured upper. It is a pair for collectors who already own the obvious retros and want something quieter on the shelf.

11 November: Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'Shanghai Fireworks'

The 'Shanghai Fireworks' Kobe 8 first released in 2013 as a China exclusive, which is exactly why it became a cult favourite. Its bright orange and red engineered mesh upper was inspired by Shanghai's summer fireworks, set off by black Swooshes and a translucent blue outsole. The Protro version brings it to a global release for the first time. Kobe Protros remain some of the hardest Nike basketball shoes to buy at launch, so expect this one to move fast.

14 November: Air Jordan 11 'Green Screen'

The headline Air Jordan 11 of the Space Jam celebration is the 'Green Screen', a nod to Michael Jordan filming his scenes in front of a green screen rather than to the film itself. Reports describe a fuzzy green suede upper, a glow-in-the-dark outsole and special Space Jam packaging, with a release expected through Jordan Brand's NBHD stores. Treat those details as reported until official images land.

Prefer the original? The Air Jordan 11 'Space Jam' (2016) and the Air Jordan 11 Low 'Space Jam' are both in stock, along with the rest of our Jordan 11 collection.

27 November: Air Jordan 4 'Bred'

The month ends with the biggest name on the list. The Air Jordan 4 'Bred' returns in its OG black, Fire Red and Cement Grey makeup on Friday 27 November, Black Friday in the US, with a heritage-style build expected. It last returned in 2019, and every Bred 4 retro has sold out quickly. New Zealand timing is TBC, so check back closer to the date.

Can't wait that long? The Air Jordan 4 'Bred' (2019) and the Air Jordan 4 'Bred Reimagined' are in stock in our Jordan 4 collection.
