Matt Varga In an unexpected dump, we got a slew of fresh updates on 2026 Jordan Releases, letting loose news of the Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” and Jordan 6 “Reverse Infrared” among several other retro models. Perhaps the most unexpected of the group was the announcement of the Jordan 6 “Bin23,” a new step in a lineage that started in 2010 and has been largely abandoned in the years since.
As a brief reminder, Jordan Brand issued a range of extremely limited retro colorways with a focus on upper-echelon materials, explicated in the original press release:
Jordan is proud to announce the introduction of the Bin 23 collection. Bin 23 is a remarkable collection of Air Jordans I-XX3. When the time is right, select shoes from history’s most revered line of footwear will appear in exceptional releases conceived for the true connoisseur. This is where experimental and imagined Air Jordan designs, now aged to perfection, finally spring to life. In essence, Bin 23 holds lost stories, resurrected by passion, that are finally ready to be whispered again. Each pair is a treasure, worthy of greatness.
The first offering in the Bin 23 collection is the Air Jordan Retro 2 Premio. The Air Jordan 2 Retro Premio pays tribute to the exquisite craftsmanship and refined style of the original Air Jordan II, utilizing a rich, supple chocolate brown leather and exquisite attention to detail in a fitting homage to the original Air Jordan II’s legacy. The Air Jordan Retro 2 Premio, and all other offerings in the Bin 23 collection, carry the Bin 23 seal, are individually numbered and available in very limited quantities.
This capsule was a massive undertaking given that the Jordan team telegraphed almost two dozen Bin23 releases, and in the first few months after the announcement, it appeared a seasonal Bin23 Jordan release would continue until they realized that entire range. In reality, they’d make it through just five between April 2010 and February 2011, charging through the Air Jordan 5, Jordan 7, Jordan 9 and Jordan 13 when the collection was all said and done.
Some 14 years later, the Jordan Brand team has expanded in both size and resources available, unquestionably more suited to this luxurious challenge. Though it’s unclear whether the Air Jordan 6 “Bin23” release will pick up that cadence, checking off one of the models that went unexplored in the 2010s may indicate future plans under the umbrella.
Long-time collectors will note that even if the earnest Bin23 collection receded from view, its core tenets continued to live on through other premium product. In recent memory, the Air Jordan 1 “Wings” collection with its ultra-luxe peripherals is of a piece, but previous endeavors like the quality-minded “Pinnacle” also carried the legacy.
As with all far-ahead announcements of this sort, concrete info is in short supply, but we can confirm the “Off Noir/Picante Red/Off-Noir” color codes and a Spring 2025 release window (January – March).
