With December coming to a close and an always-flush slate of sneakers having vied for attention during the holiday shopping season, the first month of the new year appears to be relatively light on the Air Jordan front. There is still one more major holiday for Jordan Brand (and Nike) to celebrate soon after, as its annual assortment of Chinese New Year sneakers dominates the month’s release calendar.
So far, all but one of the Air Jordan sneaker releases on the books for January will rep the Year of the Dragon. The month will still see the first Air Jordan 1 High of the year, however, as its “Yellow Ochre” colorway previews more to come from the brand.
As always, this list is fluid and new sneakers will be added as their release details become available. Take a look below at all the Air Jordan sneakers slated to arrive in January.
