We’re about halfway through the Air Jordan 40th anniversary, a year filled with special retro releases to celebrate the momentous milestone. The drops won’t stop at the end of 2025, as the 2026 release calendar is already shaping up to be just as strong.

As first reported by Sneaker Market RO, the Air Jordan 14 “Black/University Blue” from 2006 is making its return in 2026 for its first ever retro release, just in time for its 20th anniversary.
