Jordan Brand just gave sneakerheads something to obsess over for the next nine months. According to leaks from @zsneakerheadz and Sneaker Files, the Air Jordan 10 “Taxi” is tentatively lined up for a May 21, 2027 release, and it’s arriving in a “Taxi” yellow-and-black colorway with alternating black-and-white branding.

The bigger story isn’t the color, though. Sneaker News reports this will be the first time Nike Air branding has ever appeared on an Air Jordan 10, a silhouette that’s stuck to Jumpman-only branding since it launched in 1994. That’s not a small swap for longtime collectors. Nike Air callouts on Jordan retros have been a divisive choice for years, splitting fans on whether it honors the shoe’s basketball-tech roots or messes too much with an established look. This “Taxi” pair introduces Nike Air to an entirely new model, not just a new colorway.

The “Taxis” are rumored to come in at a $215 price point, with the release not expected to be limited, which is amazing news for all of us who’ve had to battle the bots. Still, May 2027 is a long way off, and Jordan Brand hasn’t put out an official confirmation, so treat the specifics as reported rather than official.
