One of the most closely guarded sneakers in the Air Jordan line is primed for one of its biggest holiday seasons yet. With three Air Jordan 11 styles already rumored to release in late 2025, a brand new colorway has joined the lineup, bringing the total number of upcoming pairs to four. 

According to early news shared Thursday by Sneaker Market RO and @brandon1an, the Air Jordan 11 Retro will be released in a “Coldest in the Game” look during holiday ’25. While the theme and backstory aren’t yet confirmed, the pair is set to feature a “Glacier Blue/Summit White/Wolf Gray” color combination. 

A speculative mock-up of what the sneaker is expected to look like depicts an icy blue upper with a metallic silver Jumpman emblem, gray detailing on the heel and outsole and white shoelaces. Additionally, the new-look Air Jordan 11 Retro is expected to come with a custom insole and labels.

In recent years, Jordan Brand has released just one Air Jordan 11 style each for men and women during the holiday season. But this year, there are reportedly plans to re-launch the “Gamma Blue” colorway, which was first seen in 2013, along with a new “Rare Air” look and a new women’s “Sail” style

Watch on FN

Given that the brand is celebrating 40 years of business this year and has a number of other high-profile launches planned, it’s not entirely unsurprising to see so many SKUs for one of its premier sneakers.

Beyond the Air Jordan 11 model, other recently surfaced upcoming releases of note include the expected return of the “Infrared” Air Jordan 6 and “He Got Game” Air Jordan 13, an Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low collaboration and a Realtree Camo version of the Air Jordan 3

As of publishing, there is no hard release date for the Air Jordan 11 Retro “Coldest in the Game,” but the new colorway is expected to be released this holiday season.
