The Air Jordan 4 "Tour Yellow" sat untouched for 20 years, and today it's finally back on shelves for anyone who missed it the first time.

The Air Jordan 4 "Tour Yellow" just released for $220 and you can purchase a pair here. It comes in full family sizing through SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers. This marks the colorway's first-ever retro.

The style code is IO2463-102. It originally dropped back in 2006 as part of the LS line. That's the same release that also included the "Thunder" and "Lightning" colorways.

White leather covers most of the upper and black suede and TPU wings sit at the eyelets. Also dark blue grey hardware breaks things up throughout the build.

The midsole carries that signature "Tour Yellow" shade with black speckling mixed in. It's the same speckled treatment fans remember from two decades ago. Nothing about the core look has been changed for this retro.

The tongue still hides a small surprise underneath its Velcro patch. Pull back the Jordan Flight logo and "Rare Air" branding sits underneath. That detail made the original stand out back in 2006. This one's expected to be a big release for collectors. Demand will liekly stay strong all throughout the day.

The "Tour Yellow" has sat untouched since its original release. Unlike "Thunder" and "Lightning", it never got a proper comeback. That absence has only built more appreciation for it over time.

Original pairs currently average well over $400 on the resale market. Most surviving pairs also show yellowing and general wear by now. That makes this retro the more practical option for anyone who actually wants to wear them.

This colorway has built a loyal following rather than mainstream hype. It's more of a deep-cut pair for collectors who know its history. That should make retail access more realistic than a typical high-demand Jordan 4 drop.

Twenty years is a long time for any colorway to sit quietly. For "Tour Yellow" fans, today finally closes that gap.
