Nike has just unleashed official images of four upcoming Air Jordan 4 releases, as well as some comments from the man behind the iconic design, Tinker Hatfield.
“With the IV, I kind of went away from the exotic and went more technical,” Hatfield says. “There’s not a big inspirational story, it’s a little bit more like, ‘we’re gonna do this new mesh, we’re gonna make this a little lighter, and it’s still gonna look a little different.’”
The Air Jordan 4, originally introduced in 1989, is among the all-time favorites when it comes to Michael Jordan's signature sneakers and this upcoming lineup features some exclusives from the past as well as a limited edition collab with KAWS.
The white/black/royal "Motorsport" Air Jordan 4 was originally given to 16 members of MJ's racing team but will finally be available to consumers for the first time, reportedly on March 25th.
Additionally, Jordan Brand will be releasing an "Alternate" black version that is scheduled to drop on June 17th.
The pristine all-white "Pure Money" Air Jordan 4 will be returning in OG form on May 13th, featuring "Pure $" text embroidered behind the sneaker's heel tab.
Lastly, the limited edition KAWS x Air Jordan 4, featuring KAWS' unmistakable "XX" branding and glow in the dark soles, will be releasing sometime this Spring.
Take a look at the official images in the gallery above and let us know which pair you're most excited for.
