Every year, the sneaker calendar gets crazier. With more brands dropping exclusive colourways in India, 2026 is shaping up to be massive. Here are the releases we are most excited about.
1. Air Jordan 4 "Military Blue" Retro
The OG 1989 colourway is coming back, and this time Nike is promising better quality than recent retros. Expected retail around ₹18,000-20,000. This will sell out instantly.
2. Nike Dunk Low "India Exclusive" Colourways
Rumour has it Nike is planning India-specific Dunk colourways. Saffron and green? Peacock-inspired? We do not have details yet, but the fact that India is getting exclusive releases shows how important this market has become.
3. New Balance 1906R New Colourways
The 1906R has been gaining serious traction in India. Expect new colourways dropping quarterly, with prices around ₹13,000-15,000. The protection pack with the industrial overlay design is especially popular.
4. Adidas Samba Collaboration Series
Adidas is not slowing down on Samba collabs. Wales Bonner, Pharrell, and new designer partnerships are expected. If you have been trying to get a Samba collab, 2026 should give you more chances.
5. Crocs x Anime Collaborations
After Batman and One Piece, Crocs is reportedly planning collabs with Naruto and Dragon Ball Z. Given how popular anime is in India, these will be absolute must-haves for many collectors.
