Retail images are finally out for J Balvin's Air Jordan 4 "Lemonade." The collaboration releases very soon on September 25th for $225. It has the style code IW2872-700.
Yellow covers the entire shoe, using a finish instead of the usual smooth leather. Different shades of that same color are across the upper, laces, midsole, and outsole, keeping the design fully monochromatic. That approach ties directly into Balvin's Colombian roots, drawing inspiration from Medellin sunsets and the country's colorful landscape.
A few custom touches separate this pair from a standard Jordan 4 release. Nike Air branding shows up on the left heel, while Balvin's signature lightning-eyes smiley logo sits on the right. Lace tags read "Just Do It" and "Solo Hazlo," adding another bilingual nod to his identity.
Balvin first gave fans a look at the shoe during the 2026 World Cup opening ceremony, stepping out in the pair well before any official announcement. That early reveal only added to the buzz already building around this release, with leaked images circulating online for weeks afterward.
Given how much anticipation has already built up, expect strong demand once the "Lemonade" 4 officially lands on shelves.
J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 “Lemonade”
This marks Balvin's fourth Jordan Brand collaboration since 2020, when he became the first Latino artist to work directly with the label. His Air Jordan 1 introduced bright gradients and his signature smiley branding.
The Air Jordan 2 followed in 2022, before Balvin returned with two separate Air Jordan 3 releases in 2023 and 2024. Each project has leaned on personal storytelling, usually tied to his music or his home country.
That consistency has helped turn Balvin into one of Jordan Brand's most reliable non-athlete collaborators. Few artists have stuck around long enough to work through multiple silhouettes the way he has.
"Lemonade" continues that same pattern, giving one of Jordan Brand's most iconic colorways a fresh, culturally rooted twist. With retail images now confirmed, fans finally have a clear look ahead of release day.
