Editor’s Notes: You’re never far from rumors and speculation surrounding upcoming Nike releases, even less so when it comes to its coveted Air Jordan lineup.

Throughout the year it’s hard to know which sources to trust, when to start getting your hopes up, and when to prepare for disappointment. The life of a sneakerhead – summarised.

Fortunately, the Swoosh does like to offer some prior warning of what’s to come, when it feels the time is right. That time has rolled around, with the unveiling of the Nike Air Jordan Holiday 2021 release lineup. The offering is stacked, and covers a range of fan-favorite AJ models, starting with 1s. There is plenty to choose from, but the AJ1, 3, and 5 options are likely to be the ones fans will be clambering for an opportunity to cop.

Starting with 1s, the “Patent Bred,” “Atmosphere,” “Handcrafted,” and “Bordeaux” are all scheduled for an official release before the year wraps up. Luckily, a wide range of sizing will be available for the majority of the four.

Next up is the 3s, which offer one of the biggest standouts of the lot. Dubbed “Camo” for obvious reasons, this iteration takes on a camouflage patchwork aesthetic of browns, greens, and greys. For those seeking something with a little more subtly, “Pine Green” is the way to go.

Last but certainly not least is the Air Jordan 5. Two pairs, “Bluebird” and “Jade Horizon,” are arriving in pastel hues that would have been perfect for Spring/Summer.
