The Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Banned" dropped on May 2, 2026. The sneakers had a retail price of $145 in adult sizes, but are available for $108.75 (25% off) with the code "DAYONE" at Nike.com. Shoppers who miss the sale can find the sneakers on StockX. Currently, the average resale price is $105.

Jordan Brand put incredible detail into this latest version of the iconic red-and-black colorway. The date (10.18.1984) inside the ankle collar represents when Jordan wore his Nike Air Ships and got in trouble with the league office. The left and right insoles note important days for the shoe in September and October of 1984. Lastly, red "X" logos replace the Jordan Wings logos on the heels.

Air Jordan 3 "Spring Is In The Air"

The Air Jordan 3 "Spring Is In The Air" colorway dropped on March 28, 2026. The sneakers originally had a retail price of $220 in adult sizes. Currently, online shoppers can buy the sneakers for $189.99 (12% off) at footlocker.com.

However, the shoes have been marked down further before and have an average resale price of $125 on StockX. The Air Jordan 3 is a fan-favorite, especially with the "Nike Air" branding on the heels. Surprisingly, the beautiful floral colorway didn't resonate with fans.

Air Jordan 3 "World's Best"

The Air Jordan 3 "World's Best" colorway dropped on May 16, 2026. The sneakers had an original retail price of $215 in adult sizes. Now, they are marked down to $161.25 (25% off) with the code "DAYONE" at nike.com. Fans who miss the sale can find the kicks on StockX at an average resale price of $158.

The "World's Best" colorway celebrated 30 years since Jordan won his fourth NBA Championship with the Bulls on Father's Day 1996. The locker room carpet design inspired the elephant mudguard. Meanwhile, "World's Best" is stitched into the tongues in gold. Best of all, "Nike Air" branding graces the heels.
