The new 'Air Jordan' sneaker model rumored for December

One of the rarest and most remembered color combinations of the Air Jordan 10 is set to make a comeback. According to early industry rumors, the Air Jordan 10 "Sacramento Kings" will be relaunched in December 2026, marking its first official return since 1995.

Jordan Brand continues to delve into its historical archive throughout 2026, and this release is shaping up to be one of the most nostalgic and celebrated by collectors. More details about dates and distribution are expected to be confirmed in the coming months.

The Air Jordan 10 originally debuted in 1994, but it was in 1995 when Nike released the iconic "City Series", a collection that paid tribute to several key cities in Michael Jordan's career. Chicago, New York, Seattle, Orlando, and Sacramento were part of this special series, each with colors inspired by rival teams that marked significant moments in his career.

The Sacramento version was particularly unique: it was the only pair entirely in black from the pack, making it an immediate rarity within the Jordan line.

Design: understated, powerful, and ahead of its time

The 2026 re-release will faithfully maintain the original design. The sneaker features a smooth black leather upper, combined with a leather mudguard, a sturdy rubber midsole, and a solid construction that defined the Jordan 10.

The royal purple accents directly evoke the Kings' identity, providing contrast without disrupting the model's minimalist aesthetic. The purple insole and the white Jumpman embroidered at the heel complete the superior design.

One of the most iconic elements of the Air Jordan 10 remains its striped outsole, in this case in black and purple, listing several of Michael Jordan's most significant achievements. These include milestones like 1988 Slam Dunk Contest Champion and 1991 NBA MVP and Champion.

This narrative approach made the Jordan 10 a unique conceptual silhouette, now considered by many as one of the most underrated in the numbered line.

Date, price, and expected availability

According to current reports, the Air Jordan 10 "Sacramento Kings" will be released on December 5, 2026, with an estimated $220 USD price tag. The release will be available in full adult sizes and is expected to drop through the Nike SNKRS app as well as select Nike stores in limited quantities.

Given that original pairs fetch values close to $1,000 dollars in the resale market, this retro presents a unique opportunity for fans and collectors to acquire a classic without resorting to the secondary market.
