AIR JORDAN 16 “BLACK PACK”
Release Date: October 3, 2026
A TIMELESS CLASSIC. REIMAGINED.
Jordan Brand is bringing the Air Jordan 16 back in a stealthy new “Black Pack” edition, giving the iconic silhouette an all-black treatment built around premium materials and unmistakable Jordan 16 design.
The “Black Pack” features a tonal Black/Off Noir color palette, with textured black leather dominating the upper and glossy patent leather adding contrast around the toe. Mesh details and the model’s signature removable shroud complete the look.
Originally introduced in 2001, the Air Jordan 16 represented a major evolution of Michael Jordan’s signature line, combining a basketball-ready performance design with a more refined aesthetic. The removable shroud gave the shoe a distinctive convertible appearance while helping separate it from previous Jordan models.
For 2026, the blackout treatment puts the focus on the silhouette itself. Instead of relying on multiple colors, the shoe uses differences in texture, finish and construction to create visual depth.
The Air Jordan 16 “Black Pack” is scheduled to release October 3, 2026, with a reported retail price of $245.

EMPIRE RADIO MAGAZINE TAKE
The “Black Pack” gives one of Jordan Brand’s more distinctive early-2000s silhouettes a clean monochromatic identity. It is a release built around texture, shape and heritage rather than loud color.
