First Look: Air Jordan 10 OG Sacramento Releases December 2026
Jordan Brand is resurrecting the Air Jordan 10 OG "Sacramento" for the 2026 holiday season, marking the first official retro of the original 1995 City Pack colorway. Previewed during a New York press event, the release stays faithful to Tinker Hatfield's 1995 design while connecting to Sacramento's deep Jordan lineage.

The Air Jordan 10 and the City Pack Era
The Air Jordan 10 occupies a unique position in the silhouette's history. Designed by Tinker Hatfield during Michael Jordan's first retirement from basketball, the shoe functioned as a retrospective—its outsole etched with accomplishments from his playing career. Rather than launching behind a single colorway or player narrative, Jordan Brand introduced the City Pack, a collection tying premium Air Jordan 10 colorways to NBA cities and franchises. Sacramento was one of five inaugural stops, alongside New York, Seattle, Orlando, and Chicago. That original Sacramento release has remained elusive in the secondary market, making this 2026 retro significant for collectors who missed the 1995 window.
Design Details
The 2026 Air Jordan 10 OG "Sacramento" adheres closely to its 1995 template. Tumbled black leather forms the structural base of the upper, while smoother leather overlays interrupt the silhouette along the lateral and medial panels—a design hallmark of the original. Dark Concord purple appears on the inner lining and outsole, a deliberate nod to the Sacramento Kings' color palette. A white Jumpman logo on the heel provides tonal contrast against the predominantly dark shoe. The colorway code, HJ6779-002, carries the style code of the retro release.
Tinker Hatfield's approach to the Air Jordan 10 treated the model less as a performance statement and more as a monument. The outsole's engraved details—citing Jordan's on-court milestones—remain central to the shoe's identity, even as the overall aesthetic leans toward understated elegance rather than high contrast.
Sacramento's Jordan Connection
The Sacramento Kings franchise carries historical significance in Jordan lore beyond the City Pack namesake. Mitch Richmond, who spent a portion of his career with the Kings, and later Mike Bibby represented the franchise during periods of competitive play. While neither player's exclusive Player Exclusive (PE) history directly ties to this specific colorway, the city's connection to Jordan Brand runs deeper than most acknowledge. The 1995 City Pack served as an early experiment in regionalized sneaker marketing—a concept that would eventually reshape how brands approach retail strategy and collector engagement.
