Free The Youth and Jordan Brand may have another Air Jordan 16 up their sleeves.
The Ghanaian label revealed an unreleased colorway of its Air Jordan 16 collaboration during its Holiday 2026 campaign, introducing a much louder look than the metallic silver pair that released earlier this year. The new version mixes deep purple across the forefoot and heel with bright green mesh, orange accents and metallic silver detailing. A black and grey removable shroud completes the look, with small star graphics appearing along the side. Under the shroud appears a full purple look
The appearance follows Free The Youth’s first retail Air Jordan 16, which released globally in August for $255. That pair combined Metallic Silver, orange and green detailing with interchangeable shrouds and marked a major moment in the Ghanaian brand’s growing relationship with Jordan Brand.
For now, however, there’s no confirmation that this newly revealed colorway will receive a retail release. The pair could potentially be a Friends & Family exclusive, serve as a campaign-only sample, or eventually become a second release from the collaboration. Neither Free The Youth nor Jordan Brand has announced launch details at the time of writing.
Expect more information to surface if the pair is ultimately headed to shelves.
