Air Jordan 9 'Flint Grey' Release Date (2026)

Jordan Brand is kicking off 2026 with a nostalgic nod to the early 2000s by re-releasing the Air Jordan 9 ‘Flint Grey’—also known by longtime collectors as the ‘French Blue’. Originally released in 2002, the colorway has remained a cult favorite for its clean, versatile palette and subtle premium details. This marks the first time the pair will return to shelves in over two decades, making it a must-have for fans of early-retro Jordans and heritage-driven designs.

The 2026 edition stays true to the original with a white leather upper complemented by smooth Flint Grey suede overlays along the mudguard and midsole. A glossy finish adds a refined touch, while French Blue accents pop through the eyelets, heel tab, tongue logo, and Jumpman branding. The crisp white tongue, grey interior lining, and global-inspired outsole round out the look, maintaining the classic Air Jordan 9 DNA with just the right amount of retro flair.

Mark your calendars as the Air Jordan 9 'Flint Grey' releases on January 24, 2026. Stay up to date on every upcoming Air Jordan release with our Air Jordan Release Dates calendar.
