The rumor mill is officially spinning for one of the summer’s most exciting streetwear crossovers. Following a cryptic teaser video posted to SAINT Mxxxxxx’s official social media channels, it has been confirmed that the Japanese vintage-inspired label is teaming up with Jordan Brand. The clever teaser cleverly morphs the letters “S” and “M” from SAINT Mxxxxxx into Michael Jordan‘s iconic jersey number “23,” signaling a major collaborative apparel collection slated for release in Summer 2026.
SAINT Mxxxxxx has built a massive global following thanks to its meticulous vintage distressing techniques and bold, graphic-heavy aesthetics. Fans got their first real glimpse of the upcoming Jordan Brand collaboration when NBA star Rui Hachimura was recently spotted wearing the collection’s crown jewel: a striking University Red, White, and Black varsity jacket. The jacket boasts bold color blocking and a heavy mix of co-branded details, including “Saint” branding running down the sleeve and front patches featuring a “23/45” hit alongside the classic Jumpman. Priced at a premium $1,000 USD, the jacket sets the tone for a high-end, highly detailed capsule.
In addition to the varsity jacket, the full SAINT Mxxxxxxx x Jordan collection is expected to include at least eight apparel pieces. The collection is expected to include short-sleeve graphic tees for $80 USD, alongside cozy fleece hoodies ($180 USD) and matching fleece pants ($150 USD) arriving in Black, Grey Heather, and White colorways.
Adding to the hype, SAINT Mxxxxxx’s latest update on April 23, 2026, featured an Instagram post depicting the collaborative items being “unearthed” from a time capsule. While the exact release date remains hidden, the video specifically highlighted Tokyo and Osaka as the excavation sites, hinting at potential exclusive pop-ups or localized drops in Japan. Keep an eye out for further updates, as the capsule is expected to release this summer via the Nike online store and select premium retailers.
