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.

An Official Look at the Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Alternate 89’

What if MJ received player exclusive sneakers back in 1989? That is the question Jordan Brand poses with the upcoming release of the ‘Alternate 89’ Air Jordan 4 Retro. It’s a silly question, really. MJ has been known to get the most exclusive of exclusives since the brand is his, albeit back in ’89 things were a bit different. To

Air Jordan ‘Alternate’ Collection

The Air Jordan ‘Alternate Collection’ is my favorite of the upcoming 2016 lineup. The 5’s were a PE that never released and they’re not an MJ PE either. The tongue on them has been changed since the last time the low 5’s dropped, but they look better this way so I’m not mad. Those 4’s though…you cannot have those 4’s.
