  Not only is  Jordan Brand  celebrating the Air Jordans'  40th anniversary  by bringing back several  iconic Jordan 1  colorways in 2025, but a popular non-OG Jordan 12 is reportedly coming back next year too. According to  @zSneakerheadz  on Instagram, the "French Blue" Air Jordan 12 will return to shelves next summer. The style was originally released in April 2004 and intended to be a Wizards-inspired color scheme for Michael Jordan's final run in Washington. However, Jordan would retire in 2003 a year before the sneaker's release. The "French Blue" Air Jordan 12 was rereleased in 2016 (pictured above) and as a  golf shoe  in 2022. At the time of writing, the 2025 retro of the "French Blue" Air Jordan 12 is scheduled to release in full-family sizing on Aug. 16. Check back soon for official updates.

  It appears that another OG Air Jordan colorway is making its way back to retailers in 2025. According to trusted sneaker leaker accounts  Sneaker Files  and  @zSneakerheadz  on Instagram, the "Aqua" Air Jordan 8 will return next summer. Given the far out date of the purported reissue, leaked images of the sneaker have yet to surface and the pair pictured above is a recent retro. According to the aforementioned accounts, the upcoming version of the "Aqua" Jordan 8 is expected to be a straightforward reissue of the classic 1993 makeup. The style features a predominantly black nubuck upper contrasted by grey hits by the heel. The standout elements are the blue and purple accents on the tongue's chenille patch and on the midsole running down to the outsole. The "Aqua" Air Jordan 8 was originally released in 1993 and was famously worn by Michael Jordan during the  NBA All-Star Game  that year. The style was retroed in 2007 and once again in 2015.

  Nike  will once again pay homage to HBCUs across the country through its  Yardrunners  program. This year, the Swoosh has tapped Kahlana Barfield Brown and Dex Robinson, from the inaugural Yardrunners class, to create the new  Air Force 1  styles pictured here. The versions pay homage to Brown and Robinson's respective alma maters with Howard University and Virginia Union University-inspired Air Force 1 Lows. Brown's pair dons a white and brown color scheme as a nod to all the HBCUs and their students, while the red accents represent Howard. For Robinson, he gave the shoe a premium pony hair upper as a nod to the school's panther mascot combined with VUU charms on the shoelaces. "These aren’t just sneakers—they’re a love letter to every Black student who’s ever walked The Yard," Brown said. "From the deep brown hues of our melanin to the echoes of our heritage, this design carries the soul of our HBCUs. It’s a tribute to the generations who built our lega...
