The Air Jordan 3 is getting another coffee-inspired look. After the “Mocha” helped establish the theme years ago, two new “Matcha” colorways are expected to release in Spring 2027, both using Chlorophyll Green and Summit White.

The first pair stays pretty close to the old “Mocha” setup. Summit White leather covers most of the upper, while Chlorophyll green replaces the usual brown around the toe and heel. That same green also shows up on the Jumpman, Nike Air heel branding, top eyelets, and outsole.

The second pair takes the idea much further. Chlorophyll nubuck covers most of the upper, and suede replaces the usual elephant print around the toe and heel. White shows up on the eyelets, heel tab, and midsole, while green returns on the Nike Air branding and outsole.

The two pairs share the same theme, but they don’t really look alike. One keeps things lighter and closer to the “Mocha,” while the other goes all-in on green.

After months of mock-ups and rumors, the Air Jordan 4 “London” is finally starting to make a lot more sense. New photos show the shoe in better detail, and we now have a firmer release date along with confirmation that it will be a UK exclusive.

Most of the upper is covered in shaggy dark grey suede, giving the pair a rougher look than the smoother finishes usually seen on the Air Jordan 4. Black fills in the laces, wings, lining, and much of the midsole, while lighter grey appears on the plastic eyelets and mesh.

The newer images also show a few details that were harder to make out before. A tan shade wraps around the heel portion of the midsole and the visible Air unit. Brick red shows up on parts of the outsole, the Jumpman on the tongue, and the heel branding.

The London theme is handled through the back of the shoe. “LDN” appears beneath the Nike Air logo, giving the pair its city connection without changing the familiar heel setup too much.

Jordan Brand recently announced a partnership with the London Lions basketball team, although this Air Jordan 4 has not been officially connected to that deal. Still, the timing gives the release another clear tie to the city.

The pair will also be staying close to home. Unlike some of Jordan Brand’s wider regional releases, the Air Jordan 4 “London” is expected to release only in the UK.

The Air Jordan 4 “London” releases September 12, 2026 exclusively in the United Kingdom through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers. The pair will be available in unisex sizing for $230.

The Air Jordan 7 “Tennis Day” pulls one of Nike’s loudest tennis eras into Michael Jordan’s signature line. Inspired by Andre Agassi’s Air Tech Challenge series, the upcoming colorway pairs a soft Phantom base with sharp hits of Lemon Twist, Pink Blast, and Anthracite.

Jordan Brand built the release around the US Open, giving the theme a natural link to both basketball and tennis. The connection goes deeper than the colors, too. Tinker Hatfield designed the Air Jordan 7 and several of Agassi’s best-known Nike models, making this crossover feel more intentional than a standard seasonal palette.

Phantom leather forms much of the upper, joined by open mesh panels along the sides and forefoot. Shaggy suede around the ankle brings in a rougher texture, while translucent cutout sections add another layer to the familiar Jordan 7 shape. Similar window-style details have appeared on past releases such as the “Sapphire” and Paris Saint-Germain editions.

The brighter accents carry most of the tennis influence. Lemon Twist outlines sections of the midsole, collar, tongue, and lining, while Pink Blast lands on the heel tabs and outsole. Black laces, tongues, and Jumpman logos keep the neon shades from taking over the entire shoe. Speckled detailing across the green midsole sections adds another small nod to the colorful performance footwear associated with Agassi’s early Nike years.

Internally referred to as “Tennis Day Colors,” the pair also arrives during a renewed push for the Air Jordan 7. The model has spent much of the past few years outside Jordan Brand’s regular retro rotation, with fewer releases than staples such as the Jordan 4, Jordan 5, and Jordan 11. Following the return of the Olympic-themed “Miro,” this marks the first new adult Air Jordan 7 colorway since early 2023.

Air Jordan 7 Tennis Day Release Date

The Air Jordan 7 “Tennis Day” releases September 9, 2026, in adult and grade school sizing. Adult pairs will retail for $215, while grade school sizing is priced at $155. Look for the release through Nike and select retailers. Check out the official photos below.

UPDATE 8/25/26: Official photos of the Air Jordan 12 “Sumo” have surfaced. The shoes are expected to release August 25th exclusively in Japan.

Original Story 8/14/26:
The Air Jordan 12 is getting a special Japan-only release with a story that goes all the way back to Michael Jordan’s first trip there in 1996. During the visit, MJ spent time on the court with sumo wrestlers while wearing the Air Jordan 12, and Jordan Brand is now using that moment as the inspiration for the new “Sumo” colorway.

Most of the shoe is covered in Black leather, but there’s a lot going on once you look closer. Laser-etched wave graphics run across the upper, while Night Purple is used on the overlays. Metallic Gold details are mixed in as well, including some light speckling around the midsole.

The Japan theme continues on the tongue, where the usual Jumpman has been reworked with a look inspired by a traditional Japanese family crest. Underneath it is “二十三” stitched in Purple, which translates to “23.” The heel gets another local reference with branding styled after senjafuda, the small name plaques commonly seen around Japanese temples and shrines.

Jordan Brand didn’t stop with the shoes either. The box comes with custom wrapping paper that calls back to Michael Jordan’s 1995-96 season, including his regular-season stats and performances. There’s also a Jumpman paper sumo kit packed inside, which fits the story behind the release without taking things too seriously.
