Air Jordan prices in 2026 start at $115 for a standard Jordan 1 Low and top out at $255 for the Jordan 7 “Miro.” Most adult numbered retros land between $210 and $235. These are US list prices we checked on against Sneaker News, Sole Retriever, Complex, and StockX. Kids’ pairs cost less, and plenty of general releases now trade under retail on resale, so you often get to choose between paying sticker and waiting.
Michael Jordan’s first signature shoe launched in 1985, and the line has been in every sneaker conversation since. Forty-one numbered models later, people still argue over it, flip it, and wear it into the ground.
So how much do Jordans cost at retail today? We went silhouette by silhouette and checked each number against a named source. We also flagged the spots where sources disagree, so you know which numbers to double-check.
Key takeaways
- Cheapest new pair: the Jordan 1 Low at $115 in adult sizes, per Sneaker News.

Air Jordan pricing terms, defined
- Retail price: The list price Nike or an authorized store charges at release, before tax and shipping.
- General release (GR): A pair sold widely through stores and apps, as opposed to a limited collab or a raffle-only drop.
- Lowest ask: The cheapest “Buy Now” listing a seller has posted on a resale marketplace such as StockX.
- GS, PS and TD: Grade school, preschool and toddler sizing tiers, each priced below the men’s pair.
Air Jordan prices by model
Each silhouette follows its own price logic, so this is how the 2026 numbers break down from the Jordan 1 to the Jordan 13.
Jordan 1 High, Mid and Low: the trendsetter
The Jordan 1 is the cheapest way into the line and has the widest price spread. Lows start at $115 for standard colorways, per Sneaker News, and OG-style Lows run $145 to $165. Mids range from $130 to $165. High OGs are $185, as on the “Flight Club” pair.
Mids are the quiet corner. For instance, Sneaker News describes the mood around them as cool, and a distressed black-and-white pair listed at $140. Meanwhile, Sole Retriever ties Jordan Brand’s changed approach to the High to waning popularity. So a $185 pair can slip under retail fast. If you want the history, see our Jordan 1 colorways guide and the ’85 Bred page.
Jordan 2: the Italian-made one
The Jordan 2 debuted in 1986 and was made in Italy. Sole Retriever’s history of every release lists its original price at $100. The Italian leather is why it cost $35 more than the Jordan 1 from day one.
However, we could not find a 2026 general release, so we are not going to guess a number. The last pair we could verify was the 2023 Black Cement at $175 on StockX. Recent special editions have ranged from $160 for the Quai 54 Low to $250 for the Off-White Low, per Sole Retriever. When a new Jordan 2 lands, we’ll update this section.
Jordan 3: the elephant-print classic
The Jordan 3 is the 1988 elephant-print model, and it costs $215 to $230 in 2026. The “True Blue” is $230 for adults, $155 for grade school, $95 for preschool, and $80 for toddlers, per Sneaker News. It is the first True Blue since 2016. Also, it brings back the Nike Air heel.
The “Spring Is In The Air” pair retailed at $215 per StockX. Meanwhile, the “Laser” costs $230 per pair on Sneaker News. If you want a darker take, our Jordan 3 Black Cat page covers that colorway.
Jordan 4: the best seller
The Jordan 4 is the best seller on our own tracking, and it costs $215 to $230 in 2026. Six of the ten pairs on our best-selling Jordans of 2024 list, which uses StockX data, were 4s. This year’s range includes the “Flight Club” at $220 per Athlon Sports and the “Comic” at $230 per Sneaker News.
The “Bred” returns in late November at $230 per Sole Retriever, with reports split between November 27 and 28. That is $15 (7.0%) above the $215 we listed for the 2024 Bred Reimagined, although the new pair is the nubuck OG build. Our Jordan 4 vs Jordan 4 RM guide explains the RM tier. Meanwhile, collabs like the Off-White 4 sit well outside these numbers.
Jordan 5: the fighter-jet look
The Jordan 5 takes its shark-tooth midsole from WWII fighter planes, per StockX. It retails for $215 to $220 in 2026. For example, the “White Metallic” is $215, while the “Black University Blue,” the first retro of a 2006 colorway, is $220 on StockX.
That Black University Blue pair also shows the resale gap. StockX listed a $194 lowest ask in our check, about 11.8% under retail. If you prefer the classics, our pages on the Black Metallic and Fire Red 5s cover them.
Jordan 6: the first-title shoe
The Jordan 6 carries the first-title connection of Michael Jordan’s career, per Athlon Sports. Its 2026 pairs are $215 across the board. For example, the “Oreo” is $215 on StockX and is the first retro of that colorway since 2010, per Just Fresh Kicks.
The “Cap and Gown” is also $215. Then the “White Infrared” is listed for November 7 at $215 after 12 years away. Of everything we checked, the Cap and Gown shows the biggest dollar drop, with a $140 lowest ask against that $215 sticker.
Jordan 7: the Olympic one
The Jordan 7 debuted in 1992, the Barcelona Olympics year, per Sneaker Bar Detroit. The 2026 “Miro” is the priciest retro we found at $255. Complex reports that Jordan Brand confirmed the July 10 SNKRS release at that price. That is $25 (10.9%) above the $230 True Blue 3.
Also, Complex says the pair revisits a 2008 Olympic-themed 7. StockX credits the artist Joan Miró for the artwork. Overall, it reads more like a collector’s pair than a daily, which fits the price.
Jordan 11: the patent-leather one
The Jordan 11 is the patent-leather model, and adult High and Mid pairs cost $235 in 2026 while Lows cost $195. The “Space Jam” returns on December 12 at $235, tied to the film’s 30th anniversary, per Sneaker News. The Low “University Blue” was $195 on StockX.
It is also the one silhouette in our resale check that trades above retail. The “Tokyo” was $235 at release per StockX, and its lowest ask was $343, which is $108 (46.0%) over the sticker. To see which pairs tend to hold value, read our best sneakers to resell page.
Jordan 12: the Flu Game shoe
The Jordan 12 is the shoe from the 1997 Finals “Flu Game,” per StockX, and 2026 general releases cost $215 to $220. Sneaker News says Jordan Brand is running the 12 through its 30th anniversary year. The “Bucks” was $215 on September 12, and the “Fireside” is $220 on October 24.
The “Fireside” family sizing is $155 for grade school, $95 for little kids, and $80 for infants and toddlers, per the Sneaker News calendar. Also, the 2025 “Taxi” retailed at $210 and showed a $170 lowest ask on StockX in our check, 19.0% under.
Jordan 13: the panther
The Jordan 13 is the panther-inspired model, per StockX, and 2026 pairs cost $210 to $215. The “Chicago” was $215 per Sole Retriever. The “Flint” is $210 on StockX but $215 at Athlon Sports. So check the retailer listing before you pay.
The Chicago also shows how fast hype cools. StockX lists a three-month average sale of $170 across 4,849 sales. That is $45 (20.9%) under the $215 retail price.
How much do kids’ Air Jordans cost?
Grade school Air Jordans cost about 67% to 76% of the adult price in 2026, and preschool and toddler pairs run $70 to $105. The table shows four recent family-sizing releases, with the grade school share worked out from the listed prices. If you are buying for a growing kid, you can use it to budget the whole family set.
| Pair | Men’s | Grade school | Preschool | Toddler | Grade school as % of men’s | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan 4 “Bred” | $230 | $165 | $105 | $90 | 71.7% | Sole Retriever |
| Jordan 3 “True Blue” | $230 | $155 | $95 | $80 | 67.4% | Sneaker News |
| Jordan 13 “Chicago” | $215 | $160 | $100 | $85 | 74.4% | Sole Retriever |
| Jordan 1 High OG “Royal” | $185 | $140 | $85 | $70 | 75.7% | Sole Retriever |
What is the cheapest new Air Jordan?
The cheapest new Air Jordan is the Jordan 1 Low at $115 in adult sizes, per Sneaker News, with big kids at $90, little kids at $70 and toddlers at $65.
However, it gets pricier fast once a Low gets an OG label. The “Banned” Low was $145 on StockX, which is $30 more. The “Chinese New Year” Low was $165 per Nice Kicks, which is $50 more. So your sticker depends on which Low you grab, not on the silhouette alone.
Are Air Jordans cheaper on resale than retail right now?
For most 2026 general releases, yes: seven of the eight pairs in our StockX check were listed below retail, and only the Jordan 11 “Tokyo” was above it. The table compares each pair’s retail price with the lowest “Buy Now” ask on its StockX page in our latest pull.
| Pair | Retail | StockX lowest ask | Difference | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan 6 “Cap and Gown” | $215 | $140 | -$75 (-34.9%) | StockX |
| Jordan 6 “Oreo” (2026) | $215 | $145 | -$70 (-32.6%) | StockX |
| Jordan 13 “Flint” (2026) | $210 | $160 | -$50 (-23.8%) | StockX |
| Jordan 3 “True Blue” (2026) | $230 | $174 | -$56 (-24.3%) | StockX |
| Jordan 5 “Black University Blue” | $220 | $194 | -$26 (-11.8%) | StockX |
| Jordan 12 “Taxi” (2025) | $210 | $170 | -$40 (-19.0%) | StockX |
| Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” | $145 | $89 | -$56 (-38.6%) | StockX |
| Jordan 11 “Tokyo” | $235 | $343 | +$108 (+46.0%) | StockX |
For example, here is the math on the Cap and Gown: $215 minus $140 is $75, or 34.9% under retail. A reseller who bought at $215 and sold at that ask would lose $75 a pair before fees. However, Tokyo is the opposite case, which is why it gets all the attention.
However, StockX asks move daily, and these figures exclude fees and shipping. So treat the table as a snapshot, and check the live listing before you buy or flip. Our guides on flipping sneakers, where to resell, and selling on StockX go deeper on the numbers.
Our rule of thumb: if a general-release Jordan has been out for a month, check the StockX ask before paying a cent over retail.
Why have Air Jordan prices gone up?
Air Jordan prices have crept up since 2025 because Nike raised US prices by $2 to $10 on many products, and Jordan Brand followed. Complex reported the Jordan 1 High “UNC Reimagined” moving from $180 to $185. It also reported the “Melo” Jordan 12 listed at $205, up $5. Nike cited inflation and economic conditions rather than tariffs.
That $5 on a $180 pair is a 2.8% bump. Still, the tariff backdrop is real. Nike’s CFO estimated about $1 billion in gross added tariff costs for fiscal 2026, as BlackAmericaWeb reported from the earnings call, and the company planned to offset part of it with targeted price hikes.
The long view matches. The 2024 Bred Reimagined at $215 and the 2026 Bred OG at $230 are $15 (7.0%) apart. For the bigger picture on why the brand carries a premium, read why Jordans are so expensive and who owns Jordan Brand.
How do you buy Air Jordans at retail instead of resale?
Buying Air Jordans at retail means winning the drop, and how you win depends on the release type: first-come stores, SNKRS draws, or raffles. Most of the work happens before launch day, so this is the order we’d go in. Nike’s own SNKRS launch calendar is the official place to check which format a pair uses.
- Read the release type. Sneaker News says the True Blue 3 ran as standard first-come drops at most stores. Meanwhile, Nice Kicks lists raffles at APB, A Ma Maniére, Social Status and Sneaker Politics for the Jordan 1 “Flight Club.” Our guide to Nike drop types explains each format.
- Enter everything. Because draws and raffles are free shots, you should enter them all. Our guide on how to buy sneakers for retail covers accounts, payment and sizing prep.
- Automate the first-come drops. The manual way is full of Ls on hyped pairs, and a bot clicks faster than any of us. Start with what sneaker botting is, then compare the best Nike bots, including The Shit Bot (TSB2), the one we build.
- Back it up. Pair your bot with solid proxies and a cook group. Finally, browse the full list of bots to buy shoes for non-Nike sites.
- Or wait it out. Seven of the eight pairs in our resale table sit under retail, so patience costs you nothing on many general releases.
How much is the Air Jordan 41?
The Air Jordan 41 is Michael Jordan’s newest signature model, and it costs $205, the same as the Air Jordan 40, per Complex. It launched in limited quantities in China on August 28 ahead of a wider rollout.
Just Fresh Kicks lists a “University Red” pair for October 25. Also, Sneaker News reports a “Space Jam” colorway for November, both at $205. Complex says the 41 debuts a 3D-printed NanoPrint upper. For the previous model’s story, our Air Jordan 39 page covers it.
Which Air Jordans release next, and at what price?
Six Air Jordan releases are lined up between now and mid-December 2026, priced from $205 to $235 for adults. Because dates move, treat these as listings rather than promises.
- October 24: Jordan 12 “Fireside” at $220, per the Sneaker News calendar.
- October 25: Air Jordan 41 “University Red” at $205, per Just Fresh Kicks.
- October 31: Jordan 14 “Forest Green” at $215, per the Sneaker News calendar.
- November 7: Jordan 6 “White Infrared” at $215, per Athlon Sports.
- November 27 or 28: Jordan 4 “Bred” at $230, per Sneaker News.
- December 12: Jordan 11 “Space Jam” at $235, per Sneaker News.
Should you pay retail for Air Jordans or wait for resale?
You should pay retail for a hyped pair you really want, and wait on most general releases. The data supports both sides, so the right call depends on the shoe and on how much you care about release day.
The case for paying retail
Paying retail gets you the exact size you want on drop day, and you skip marketplace fees and shipping. Waiting can also backfire on the pairs that get hot. The Jordan 11 “Tokyo” had a $343 lowest ask against a $235 retail price (+46.0%), per StockX. Also, Nike’s CFO estimated about $1 billion in added tariff costs for fiscal 2026, per BlackAmericaWeb, so future sticker prices may keep climbing.
On the other hand, the case for waiting
On the other hand, most general releases in our check traded below retail. The Jordan 6 “Cap and Gown” sat at $140 against $215 (-34.9%), per StockX, and the Jordan 1 Low “Banned” sat at $89 against $145 (-38.6%), per StockX. Sole Retriever also links Jordan Brand’s changed approach to the High to waning popularity. Because supply is high on general releases, your patience often gets rewarded.
Our verdict
Pay sticker for the pair you will wear to death or the one you cannot miss. For everything else, try waiting about a month, then check the live StockX ask against the retail price in our tables. If you want to skip the waiting game on a hyped drop, our guide to buying sneakers at retail is the place to start.
