The Air Jordan 9 “Space Jam” is back for 2026, returning in the White/Black/True Red colourway associated with Michael Jordan’s appearance in the 1996 film. Nike’s current men’s product page lists the release under style code IX6179-100 and positions it as part of the film’s 30th-anniversary moment.
For European readers, the most important detail is availability rather than converting the US retail price into euros or pounds. Nike’s Netherlands and UK SNKRS calendars are the pages to watch for the local release and official regional price; those prices can differ from a straight currency conversion.
What is the 2026 Air Jordan 9 “Space Jam”?
The Air Jordan 9 originally arrived in 1993. The black, white and red version became culturally tied to Space Jam, and Nike’s current Air Jordan 9 Retro OG “Space Jam” product page brings that colour story back for 2026.
The release uses a white leather and synthetic leather upper with black overlays and True Red accents, plus special packaging linked to the film. Nike also confirms standard Air cushioning and a rubber outsole.
When does it release in Europe?
The supplied release brief points to 19 September 2026. Nike’s US product page is already live, while the Netherlands SNKRS calendar and UK SNKRS calendar should be treated as the final authority for local timing and price as the drop approaches.
What should you expect to pay?
At the time of this update, I could verify Nike’s US retail price but not a live official € or £ price for this exact adult “Space Jam” listing. Rather than inventing a conversion, the better answer is to wait for Nike’s regional product page. For context only, a previous Air Jordan 9 release on Nike SNKRS was listed at €189.99 in the Netherlands and £169.95 in the UK, but that is not confirmation of the 2026 Space Jam price.
Is it worth buying?
If you want the shoe to wear, the appeal is straightforward: it is a recognisable OG-era colourway with a genuine film connection and a shape that sits slightly outside the endless Air Jordan 1, 3 and 4 cycle.
If you are buying purely for resale, be more cautious. Anniversary storytelling can increase first-week demand, but it does not guarantee a sustained premium once pairs reach the market. Treat resale as speculation, not part of the product’s value proposition.
Where to buy
Start with Nike SNKRS in your own market, then check authorised Jordan retailers once local raffles and launch pages go live. Avoid paying a resale premium before the European retail release has had a chance to settle.
