KAWS and Jordan Brand are teaming up on the Air Jordan 4 again. The KAWS x Air Jordan 4 "Dark Grey" is expected to release in Summer 2027.
The pair is listed under style code JU4624-002 and is reportedly priced at $500. That's a high number, and it puts this well above a standard Air Jordan 4.
We don't have any photos yet, so the final design is still a mystery. The only official detail is the colorway name, "Dark Grey/Dark Grey." That points to a tonal look, but nothing more has been confirmed.
Even without images, fans have a good idea of what to hope for. The 2017 pairs used suede, KAWS hand graphics, "XX" branding on the heel, and a glow-in-the-dark outsole. If those details return, this would feel like a true sequel.
Retail details haven't been announced either. Early reports point to SNKRS, KAWS, and select Jordan Brand retailers. Expect more information, and hopefully a first look, as next summer gets closer.
It's hard to believe its been 10 years since the original collab. It would be the third KAWS x Air Jordan 4 colorway, after the grey and black pairs from 2017. That alone makes it one of the most anticipated Jordan releases of 2027.
KAWS x Air Jordan 4
The 2017 KAWS x Air Jordan 4 pairs are still some of the most respected collabs on the model. The first came in all grey that March, and a black pair followed in November. Both are still tough to find.
KAWS, whose real name is Brian Donnelly, has built a huge reputation in both sneakers and art. His Companion character is recognizable anywhere. Pairing that with the Air Jordan 4 is a natural fit.
Also Jordan Brand just said it plans to cut back on retros in 2027. A hyped collab like this fits that new focus on rarity.
Resale is the big question. The 2017 pairs still trade at high prices, so it's easy to imagine strong demand here. At $500, a lot of people will still try their luck.
For now, mark your calendar for next summer!
