One of the most popular Air Jordan sneakers among Michael Jordan historians is the Air Jordan 4. This shoe dropped all the way back in 1989 which makes it over 30 years old. After all this time, the silhouette has been able to stay fresh and fans are always excited when new colorways are released. Last year was massive for the Jordan 4 and 2020 has been quite fruitful as well. Moving beyond this year, it looks like 2021 could be a big moment for the shoe, as well.

According to @zsneakerheadz, there is a "University Blue" colorway coming to the 4 in 2021 and it has an interesting twist. The previous photoshop rendering we reported on displayed a powder blue upper with black highlights on the midsole and lace cage. Now, the powder blue remains but those black details have been replaced with grey cement.

Overall, this could be one of the best Air Jordan 4 colorways we have seen in years. Some sneakerheads are already comparing it to the Travis Scott collaboration although there are some obvious differences to take note of.

Over the next year, we will surely see some teasers of this model pop up here and there so stay tuned for all of the latest updates.
