Michael Jordan’s fourth signature shoe, aptly named the Air Jordan 4, was released at the 1989 NBA All-star Game held in Houston.
Well-designed and improving upon its predecessor, the Jordan 4 was received to much acclaim. In fact, many are of the opinion that it is one of the, if not the best Air Jordans of all time. Tinker Hatfield - the brain behind the design - really created something special here. The modern vibe and great fit make it a worldwide phenomenon, alongside other hits like the Air Jordan 12 Retro or even the initial Air Jordan 1.
Some defining features of this set of kicks include the plastic lace eyelet wings, a level-up from just your boring ‘holes to loop your laces into.’ The Air Max cushioning unit and netting on the upper make it look good and wear comfortably - the perfect combo for a whole weekend on the court. The leather has a good feel, and the durability is something else to commend as well.
It is quite easy to style, too, mixing and matching nicely with plenty of casual outfits. Fashionistas recommend pairing them with cropped jeans and a shirt, or a comfier getup like shorts and a baggy tee. And with the many colorway iterations coming out, it makes the OOTD even better. More collabs are still coming out so we can expect to see more versions of the AJ4. It is no wonder that owners have high praises for them.
Planning to buy one for yourself or for a gift? Make sure to buy true to size as the fit is plain perfect.
