When it comes to Jordan Brand’s footwear lineups, its latest advancements in performance models are joined by retro hits. While classics like the Air Jordan 1 and 5, both of which are celebrating anniversaries this year, are mainstays, the Jumpman team continues to regularly offer many of its less prominent models as well.
For the Air Jordan 14, we’re awaiting the return of the bright red “Ferrari” colorway as what will likely be the sneaker’s only release in 2025. However, looking ahead to next year, a new rumor report from SneakerMarketRO indicates that there’s more on the way for the silhouette. According to the sneaker industry insiders, 2006’s “Black/University Blue” color scheme will be revisited for the first time, 20 years after making its debut. While we lack an initial preview of the pair, you can expect it to come equipped with all of its original details, including its black Durabuck and suede upper with “University Blue” accents.
At the time of writing, Jordan Brand has not yet confirmed that the “Black/University Blue” colorway of the Air Jordan 14 will be returning next year. Stay tuned for updates, including a first look at the 2026 version of the shoe, as we currently expect it to release during the first quarter of 2026 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $210 USD.
