Another retro 12 next year? Jordan Brand is making 2026 look like one for the books. The release of so many 12s this year already brought out my inner child — especially when the Flu Games dropped in March. I’ve always said once I got those, my sneaker collection would feel complete. Now that I have them, I officially feel like an OG in the sneaker world. And as if that wasn’t enough, the Taxi 12s hit shelves this week, and you already know I have my reservation locked in through the Foot Locker app. These have always been one of my favorite 12s outside of the Master colorway, which seriously needs a re-release — and I mean need in all caps. But next year? Jordan Brand isn’t slowing down. The Bloodline 12s are coming, and these are pure heat. The red and black combination gives off serious dominance vibes — honestly, I can see WWE’s Roman Reigns rocking these without question. The “Bloodline” name even fits his whole persona perfectly. If you’ve seen his sneaker game, you already know he’s top-tier; those custom Kobes he wore at the Netflix RAW premiere earlier this year still haven’t left my mind. When do the Bloodline 12s Release? Expected to release on June 20, 2026, the Bloodline 12s will make the perfect summer sneaker. Outside of the classic white Air Force 1s, these might take the top spot in my warm-weather rotation. The Flu Games haven’t touched pavement yet, but when they do, I might just pair them with the Bloodlines to turn a few heads. Retail partners like Champs, Foot Locker, Snipes, JD Sports, and other select Jordan retailers are expected to carry them, and they’ll reportedly come in a full-size run. With that kind of accessibility and style, these are an easy cop in my book. How do you feel about the Bloodline 12s? Will you be in line? Share your thoughts down below. For more information on the 12s, I have provided House of Heat’s X post below as well.
