The Ultimate Sneaker Release Calendar: Spring/Summer 2026

Spring and summer 2026 are shaping up to be some of the most stacked seasons in sneaker history. Whether you're chasing Jordans, hunting New Balance collabs, or waiting on the next adidas drop, there's something on the calendar for everyone. Here's your complete breakdown of the sneaker releases you need to know about -- plus tips on how to actually secure a pair.

Jordan Brand: Retros and New Heat

Jordan Brand is going deep into the vault this season. The highlight? A return of the Air Jordan 4 "Military Blue" in a refreshed women's exclusive colorway arriving in May, alongside the highly anticipated Air Jordan 1 High "Black Toe Reimagined" that's set to be one of the most sought-after releases of the entire year.

Other Jordan releases to circle on your calendar include:

  • Air Jordan 11 Low "Legend Blue" -- April 2026
  • Air Jordan 5 "Grape" Retro -- May 2026
  • Air Jordan 3 "Palomino" (GS sizing) -- June 2026
  • Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG -- Summer 2026 (date TBA)

If upcoming Jordan releases are at the top of your list, stay locked in. These will move fast on release day.

Nike: SB Dunks, Air Max, and More

Nike continues to push the Dunk franchise hard with a wave of new SB Dunk Lows arriving throughout the spring. The Nike SB Dunk Low "Dodger Blue" and a rumored Supreme x Nike SB Dunk collab are both generating serious buzz in sneaker communities.

Air Max Day 2026 (March 26) already delivered, but the momentum carries into summer with the Air Max 1 "Patta" third wave and a fresh run of Air Max 90 "Infrared" retros. Nike is also expanding the Air Max Dn line with new tech-forward colorways built for warmer weather.

New Balance: The Collab King Keeps Rolling

New Balance has been on an absolute tear, and 2026 is no exception. The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 993 in two new spring colorways is the headline drop, but don't sleep on these either:

  • Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 990v6 -- April 2026
  • New Balance 2002R "Protection Pack" Vol. 3 -- May 2026
  • Teddy Santis Made in USA 990v4 in seasonal tones -- rolling releases through summer

The 990 and 2002R silhouettes continue to dominate the lifestyle sneaker space. If you've been waiting to get into New Balance, this is your season.

adidas: Samba Mania and Beyond

The adidas Samba isn't going anywhere. New colorways and premium materials keep this silhouette relevant heading into its third year of dominance. But adidas is also making moves with the adidas AE 2 (Anthony Edwards signature) crossing over from the court to the streets, and the Bad Bunny x adidas Campus collaboration continuing with a summer drop.

For the Yeezy faithful, independent Yeezy releases under Ye's own brand continue to trickle out. Keep your eyes on the Yeezy 350 V3 prototype that's been spotted in the wild -- if it drops this summer, it could be the story of the season.

How to Actually Secure Limited Sneaker Releases in 2026

Knowing the release calendar is only half the battle. Here's how to improve your odds on drop day:

  • Set up accounts early. Have your Nike SNKRS, adidas Confirmed, and New Balance profiles fully loaded with payment info before release day. Fumbling with your credit card at checkout is how you catch an L.
  • Follow reliable leak accounts. Sneaker news accounts on social media will give you early intel on surprise drops and restocks.
  • Enter every raffle. In-store and online raffles are still the fairest way to cop. The more entries, the better your chances.
  • Shop trusted resellers. When you miss on retail, buying from an authorized marketplace like Supra Sneakers means you get authenticated pairs without the risk. Every sneaker we sell is verified authentic -- no exceptions.
