Air Jordan 4

Previous
Next

The Air Jordan 4, Michael Jordan’s fourth signature shoe, debuted in 1989 in February during the 1989 NBA All-Star Game in Houston. 

The Jordan 4 was the second Jordan model designed by legend Tinker Hatfield. It felt like the perfect evolution of the Air Jordan 3. The shoe also featured a visible Air Max cushioning unit, the iconic netting on the upper, and plastic lace eyelet wings.

The Jordan 4 holds up surprisingly well as an on-court performer. There are of course better performance models nowadays, but, if you are looking for a pair of retro Jordans to hoop in, and you love the Air Jordan 4, go right ahead.

Air Jordan 4 Military Black Review

The Air Jordan 4 Military Black is another version of a colorway released ten years ago. And the crazy part is that Chris has a video review of those as well. It’s been a long time coming.

Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder Review

The Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder is still very much well-anticipated, but the hype is not real. Jordan Brand has to be better in making these shoes, especially when we, the consumers, are putting our hard-earned money into their wallets. One thing we can recommend right off the bat is that you need to check your pair once you get

Air Jordan 4 Lightning

Air Jordan 4 Lightning 2021 Review

The Air Jordan 4 Lightning is back and it’s back with a vengeance. First released in 2006, this colorway has been anticipated by many of OG Jordan Brand fans and hypebeasts alike. Not a lot of shoes do that nowadays. However, if you know, you know. There’s a lot more to this shoe than the fire colorway and classic silhouette.

Air Jordan 4 White Oreo

Air Jordan 4 White Oreo Review

The Air Jordan 4 White Oreo is not a collaboration with another brand, but the internet has its ways. This, for many, is a classic colorway, even though it isn’t an original one. It can be looked at as an alternate colorway of an earlier Retro Plus release of the same Air Jordan model. Whatever the case may be, these

Since Michael Jordan hails from UNC, it’s no wonder that a lot of his signatures have featured the university blue color scheme.
