Jordan Brand is launching a new Air Jordan 12 Retro "Black / Varsity Red" during the Summer of 2026, this time using the "Bloodline" nickname.
Although it is too early to talk about an official release date, we have new information about an Air Jordan release from 2026. According to multiple industry sources, the brand is finally releasing the Air Jordan 12 "Bloodline", nearly two years after the first rumors surfaced. The release information was published exclusively on Sneaker Market in collaboration with Brandon1an.
The model comes with product code CT8013-001 and the "Black / Varsity Red" color scheme. The pair will look exactly like in the image attached below. The model features an all-black upper with red accents on the midsole area and laces. For now, the brand has not confirmed the release rumors. In general, Nike avoids confirming rumors about upcoming limited-edition releases in the near future. We expect the model to release in a full family size run.
