The one true Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, has not been seen since WrestleMania XL. While Mr. This-is-my-yard is off recuperating after his two-night, historic battle with Cody Rhodes, Air Jordans by Nike made a huge announcement. Bringing back their iconic Bloodline series from 2019. However, seeing the name and design of the sneakers, fans wondered if the Head of the Table had something to do with it. Here is everything you need to know.
During his time as the WWE Universal Champion, Reigns put a lot of emphasis on his shoes. He always looked good for a Tribal Chief, Reigns was mostly seen in his Jordans. This prompted Nike to reach out with a special present for the Big Dawg.
Ahead of Mania XL, Jordans ensured the Head of the Table was laced properly for his big match. While a sneaker crossover was already done with Shane McMahon, Kofi Kingston, and a few others, this was special. Reigns posted a video on social media showing off his new collection with exclusive Air Reigns branding.

The Air Jordan’s Bloodline 12 is not the same as Roman Reigns Air Jordan 11
The Air Jordan 12 Bloodline is a retouched version of the 2019 Air Jordan 1 Bloodline series. The sneakers, set to release in January 2025, will be all-back, highlighted with red accents. Set to retail at around $200 in Nike’s official website, Reigns has no connection with the new lineup. While the color scheme does match the Tribal Chief, he had no hand in designing it. The first line of the sneakers was launched two years before The Bloodline was officially formed in the WWE. Despite being a Jordans fan, it was confirmed that the new line has nothing to do with Reigns or WWE’s stable with the same name. However, this did not stop online trolls from spreading fake news.

Social media trolls began spreading the news that Reigns was getting his own Jordans. While fans were excited, they quickly realized this was not the case. As mentioned above, the new line has nothing to do with Reigns. However, with the popularity of the Tribal Chief and his return being all the buzz, we might see another collab. With Reigns out of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa has taken over and employed the help of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. This new Bloodline 2.0 has Paul Heyman hostage and claims these were orders from the Tribal Chief. Tonga is part of the King of The Ring tournament and will take part in the semi-finals match on WWE SmackDown. What did you think of the new Air Jordans? Tell us in the comments.
