It isn’t just the AJ 11 “Gratitude” that will command attention during the holiday season. Jordan Brand also has a collaboration with SoleFly on the Air Jordan 8 in the pipeline, and the Air Jordan 3 is featuring in the annual Doernbecher collection designed by patients at the children’s hospital of the same name.

Based on the information we have so far, December won’t have a great quantity of Air Jordans, but it isn’t suffering for quality either. Keep in mind that some details come by way of leaks, which means release dates are liable to shift, as we take you through ever Air Jordan sneaker releasing in December.

Doernbecher x Air Jordan 3

Buy Now at Stockx

Release Date: Dec. 2
Price: $210
The Air Jordan 3 from this year’s annual Doernbecher collection was designed by Hugo “Juice” Covarrubias Molina, an 14-year-old with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, which causes one side of his body to grow larger than the other. Among his design flourishes for the sneaker in Seattle Seahawks colors is the handwritten message “It’s OK to be different” beneath a translucent green outsole.

Air Jordan 38 “Aqua”

Buy Now at Nike

Release Date: Dec. 7
Price: $200
The Air Jordan 38, the most recent of the franchise, is heavily influenced by the Air Jordan 8 — so it was only right for it to borrow one of the elder silhouette’s most popular colorways.

SoleFly x Air Jordan 8 “Mi Casa Es Su Casa”

Buy Now at Stockx

Release Date: Dec. 8
Price: $225
SoleFly was founded by Michael Jordan’s brother-in-law, which gives him primo access to collaborations such as this Air Jordan 8 with premium gold accents and a teaser campaign assisted by the local Miami Marlins.

Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude”

Buy Now at Nike

Release Date: Dec. 9
Price: $230
The Air Jordan 11 gets a high-profile release each holiday season, and this year’s is a nod to one half of the beloved “Defining Moments” pack from 2006. The Air Jordan 11 in this color scheme was never available to purchase on its own for retail until now, which makes it a can’t-miss for longtime sneakerheads.

Air Jordan 2 Low “Christmas”

Release Date: Dec. 16
Price: $150
Officially speaking, the red and green accents on this Air Jordan 2 are intended as an invocation of Italy, where the model was produced in its original run, just like another pair that release last month. But because of the month in which it’s releasing, it won’t beat the Christmas allegations.

Air Jordan 3 “Midnight Navy”

Release Date: Dec. 16
Price: $200
The Air Jordan 3 in “Midnight Navy” is about as close as you’ll get to the heralded “True Blue” colorway, which hasn’t released since 2016. Almost all of the color-blocking remains the same, albeit with a darker shade of blue and an elephant print that also turns down the brightness. This sneaker wasn’t expected to release until 2024, so it comes as a welcomed surprise to close out 2023.

Air Jordan 14 “Black/White”

Release Date: Dec. 20
Price: $200
A simple black and white color scheme comes to the Air Jordan 14, one of the line’s more undersung models. It was the last one Jordan wore as a Chicago Bull, and it’s Ferrari inspired lines stand out well in this new colorway with just the smallest hint of red on the logo badge.
