Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan 12 Has a New ‘Bucks’ Colorway Coming Out in 2026

There are certain sneaker models in Nike and Jordan Brand’s archive that are so well designed that sometimes all that’s needed is a change of accent color to generate interest in a new style — look no further than the classic gray Air Max 95 OG blocking or the numerous looks that have graced the Air Jordan 1 in its 40-year history. Another canvas which adapts well to nearly any shade thrown its way is the Air Jordan 12, which will soon take on a new white-and-green execution that’s said to be inspired by the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.

According to Sneaker Files and @zsneakerheadz, an Air Jordan 12 Retro “Bucks” colorway is on the way for fall 2026. Although in-hand images of the pair aren’t yet available, the White/Multi-Color style is expected to feature a white ribbed leather upper that’s offset by green on the Air Jordan 12’s faux reptile mudguard, midsole and its rubber outsole. The two-tone style is reminiscent of original Air Jordan 12 colorways including the “Taxi” and “Cherry” iterations along with newer releases like “Blueberry.”

Should the look arrive as expected, it could resemble an unreleased Air Jordan 12 PE issued to former Jordan Brand athlete Ray Allen early in his career. Allen also wore exclusive white-and-green “Sugar Ray” Air Jordan 12s while with the Boston Celtics.

Over the last decade, Jordan Brand has regularly issued retro colorways which resemble past exclusives, often without their player-branded logos and personalization. Notable examples include Chris Paul’s Air Jordan 13 from 2015, a Ray Allen Air Jordan in 2019 and Carmelo Anthony’s Air Jordan 12s.

Despite the lack of in-hand photos, there are some additional details around the Air Jordan 12 Retro Bucks. The sneaker’s style code is CT8013-103 and the pair is expected to be released during fall ’26 for a retail price of $205. Given the far-off launch and ever-changing economy, it’s possible the pricing could change between now and the tentative release window.
