March 2026 Jordan Release Calendar: Key Drops, Dates and Retail Prices

Jordan Brand opens March with a strategy: archive fidelity and spring palettes, colliding with high-profile collaborations and a tightly packed mid-month cadence. Urbanstaroma frames it as “the season's awakening with OG models,” and the calendar lives up to that description with headline drops from Virgil Abloh Archive, Teyana Taylor and Travis Scott across March 5 through March 28.

March 5 — Air Jordan 40 “Metallic Copper,” IM8206-800 The month begins with the Air Jordan 40 “Metallic Copper,” listed by House of Heat with style code IM8206-800 and a Mar 05 release. The AJ40 continues Jordan Brand’s experiment with modern performance silhouettes and metallic accents, a quiet opening that quietly sets the tone for a month that alternates between new tech and archival reverence. House of Heat also flags another AJ40 SKU, IQ5380-100, as a Spring 2026 entry to watch.

March 7 — packed release day: AJ1 “Psychic Blue,” AJ4 “Lakeshow,” Teyana Taylor AJ3 “Concrete Rose,” AJ1 “Clips” SneakerBarDetroit calls Mar 7 “a packed release day,” and the list bears that out.

  • Air Jordan 1 High OG “Psychic Blue,” FD2596-102: HotNewHipHop describes this women’s exclusive as a tonal, soft pastel with a cream leather base and psychic blue suede overlays on the Swoosh, toe and collar, plus cream vintage midsoles and light blue outsoles. The write-up emphasizes premium materials and OG construction, positioning the pair as a refined alternative for warmer-weather wardrobes.
  • Air Jordan 4 “Lakeshow,” FV5029-500 (men’s) and IB4171-500 (Big Kids’): styled in Los Angeles Lakers colors, the Lakeshow edition trades neutral subtleties for a bold, team-driven palette that reads as both fan tribute and court-ready colorway.
  • Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan 3 “Concrete Rose,” IF3097-300: this collaboration “brings a personal storytelling element, reflecting her Harlem roots through unique design details,” per SneakerBarDetroit. The pairing marries artist-authored cues with the AJ3’s heritage silhouette.
  • Air Jordan 1 High OG “Clips”: also part of the Mar 7 queue, SneakerBarDetroit notes this model “adds a playful twist with removable accessories,” an accessory-led spin that targets collectability and on-shelf theatre.

March 13 — Air Jordan 13 “Chicago,” 414571-102 / DJ3003-102 Mid-month attention shifts to the Air Jordan 13 “Chicago,” returning in both men’s 414571-102 and GS DJ3003-102 codes on Mar 13. SneakerBarDetroit frames this as a mid-month momentum piece, reviving a Bulls-era colorway that is directly aimed at collectors who track OG palettes.

March 14 — Travis Scott Jordan Jumpman Jack “Green Spark,” IM9113-300 Travis Scott re-enters Jordan Brand’s calendar on Mar 14 with the Jumpman Jack “Green Spark,” IM9113-300. SneakerBarDetroit flags this as Scott’s first 2026 release, adding an artist-driven spike in demand for the week following the AJ13 return.

March 18 / March 21 — Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Sail,” IF4391-100 (date discrepancy) House of Heat lists the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Sail,” IF4391-100, but appears twice in its own listings: once for Mar 18 and again for Mar 21. The model and style code are explicit within House of Heat’s calendar, yet the internal inconsistency means the Sail release date should be verified before planning purchase strategies. The low OG silhouette’s quiet palette will fit the seasonal shift into neutrals and sails.

March 21 — Air Jordan 14 “Black/University Blue,” 487471-007 / 487524-007 / 312093-007 The Air Jordan 14 “Black/University Blue” returns on Mar 21 in a multi-SKU rollout: men’s 487471-007, Big Kids’ 487524-007 and toddler 312093-007. HotNewHipHop describes the pair as having “a black suede upper with university blue accents on the signature heel waves and toe caps,” a classic color-play that trades flash for elegant contrast. Multiple size breaks suggest Jordan Brand expects broad demand across family sizing.

March 28 — Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska,” AA3834-100, and Air Jordan 3 OG “Spring is in the Air,” IF4396-100 The month’s peak lands on Mar 28, when two of the most talked-about releases collide.

  • Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska,” AA3834-100: SneakerBarDetroit reproduces the AA3834-100 listing, color White/White, and lists a retail price of $230. The outlet calls it “a long-awaited release inspired by Abloh’s 2018 Europe-exclusive design” and “the most talked-about drop of the month.” House of Heat corroborates the Mar 28 date and style code, marking this as the collaboration collectors will prioritize.
  • Air Jordan 3 OG “Spring is in the Air,” IF4396-100: also set for Mar 28 with a SneakerBarDetroit-listed retail price of $210, this AJ3 is described with a Sail/Jade Aura-Aura-Iced Carmine-Muslin-Iris Whisper color string. Urbanstaroma offers praise rich in material detail: “the Jordan3 'Spring is in the Air' perfectly embodies the spirit of March. With a base of the highest quality white leather and details that recall the colors of blooming, this model maintains the iconic elephant print but it presents it in a softer palette. The attention to materials and the shape faithful to the 1988 original make it an instant collector's piece.” That combination of archival shape and spring palette explains why the AJ3 is positioned alongside the Abloh release as a collector favorite.

Pricing, context and what to expect Only two explicit retail prices appear in the captured calendar: $230 for the Abloh “Alaska” and $210 for the AJ3 “Spring is in the Air,” both reproduced by SneakerBarDetroit. House of Heat contributes the most exhaustive SKU and date matrix but does not list prices in the captured excerpts. Given the collaborative pedigree of the Abloh release and the OG fidelity of the AJ3, higher retail tags and heavy collector demand are consistent with the month’s tenor.

Final word March 2026 reads like a study in contrast: modern silhouettes and artist collaborations rubbing shoulders with careful OG revivals and spring-ready pastels. For buyers and collectors the calendar spells a busy month with clear peaks—Mar 7 and Mar 28—that will shape resale dynamics and on-shelf attention. If you track SNKRS drops or plan raffles, mark those dates and double-check the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Sail” timing, since House of Heat lists it on two different days; otherwise, expect a month where heritage meets seasonal color in full force.
