2026, The Year of Pink?

2026, The Year of Pink?

An array of pink shoe products seems to be headed our way or set up for success in 2026. Whether it might be for Valentine’s Day, Springtime, Breast Cancer Awareness, or something else, pink is having its moment.

Jordan Brand

In the fall we got the Air Jordan 12 Retro “Pearl Pink” drop which featured a pearl pink hue, matching laces, and darker pink detailing around the sole and rear of the shoe. Although they were originally a kids drop, adult sizing became available as well shortly after which pleased many Jordan fanatics.

Rumors of an exciting new collaboration between Levi’s and Jordan are circulating, with the supposed title Air Jordan “Pink Denim.” This shoe will sport a retro look with pink body, pastel yellow laces, sole, and net detailing on the sides. While there is no official release date or confirmed drop details, it is speculated that this will be exclusive to women’s sizing.

Travis Scott’s Air Jordan 1 Low “Pink Pack” is set to release its “Tropical Pink” and “Shy Pink” colorways on May 22, 2026. Both pairs are perfectly pastel, and sport Scott’s signature reversed Swoosh. Another women’s exclusive is also coming our way with another Angelo Baque Awake NY x Jordan Brand collaboration. This shoe is set to be released in fall 2026 and features three shades of pink with orange accents.

Nike

Nike is rumored to be hopping on the pink train in 2026 as well, with and new Kay Yow Cancer fund shoe. Nike has upheld this partnership since 2008, helping raise money with a variety of pink sneakers. The 2026 release is said to be the GT Cut 4 basketball shoe in a hot pink colorway completed with the Kay Yow ribbon logo.

UGG

Last spring UGG released their Meadow Collection, and it did not receive nearly as much hype as it deserved. This collection consisted of Tasman slippers, Lowmel sneakers, and a Classic Mini Boot, all embroidered with cream and pink stitching. The mini boot and one Tasman slipper colorway not only have the unique floral embroidery, but also 3D flowers. This collection might just have its big moment in 2026.
