Air Jordan 12 'Fireside' Warms Up the Holiday Season

Jordan Brand is giving the Air Jordan 12 a seasonal makeover just as temperatures begin to drop. The upcoming 'Fireside' trades the model’s familiar high-contrast palettes for warm cream and brown tones built for Fall 2026.

Originally rumored under the 'Eggnog' nickname, the sneaker has now surfaced during a private preview in New York. The first look reveals a design that differs slightly from early mockups while maintaining the neutral color palette that initially drew attention to the release.

Light Orewood Brown covers most of the upper, giving the Jordan 12 a soft cream foundation. Darker Cacao Wow wraps around the signature textured mudguard and lower portion of the shoe, creating the strongest contrast across the design.

Smaller details elevate the autumn-inspired palette. Metallic brown eyelets complement the darker sections below, while a contrasting midfoot plate and white pull tab break up the earth tones. Team Red is also included within the official color designation.

The combination may feel familiar to anyone who remembers the SoleFly x Air Jordan 12 from 2024. Both releases work with similar cream and brown shades, but the “Fireside” uses a lighter upper and rearranges the darker sections to establish its own identity.

More importantly, the colorway shows how easily the Air Jordan 12 can move beyond its basketball roots. The silhouette’s leather-heavy construction and pronounced mudguard naturally suit the warmer, more understated palette, giving the “Fireside” a lifestyle-focused appearance heading into the holiday season.

The Air Jordan 12 'Fireside' releases October 17, 2026. Full-family sizing will be available, with adult pairs priced at $215 USD.
