The Air Jordan 4 "Thunder" could be dropping imminently.

Tinker Hatfield developed a ton of amazing shoes for Michael Jordan, including the Air Jordan 4. Overall, this is considered by some to be his best shoe. Although, there are plenty of others who will make a case for the Air Jordan 3. Either way, there is no denying that you cannot go wrong with this piece of history. It is a shoe that was created about 34 years ago at this point, and it has proven that it is actually timeless. Consequently, it continues to get some brand new color schemes.

Additionally, Jumpman likes to hit this shoe with its fair share of retros. Retros are when you take an old colorway and rerelease it to the masses. Sometimes, this can come with some sort of twist. However, other times, the shoe is just exactly the same as it used to be. This year, one of the Air Jordan 4 retros that will be released is the "Thunder" model which can be found below. While this model released about a decade ago, it still continues to impress sneakerheads and even casuals.

In the post above from @zsneakerheadz, you can see some official images of the sneaker. Firstly, it starts out with a predominantly black upper that is covered in suede. Secondly, there are some yellow highlights on the midsole, laces, and underside of the upper. Overall, these elements come together to create a dope shoe that is somehow flashy yet stealthy. Interestingly enough, the above post gives a critical update for this shoe. Apparently, it could very well be subjected to a SNKRS shock drop, very soon. As to how soon? We aren't sure.

The official release of this shoe is set to take place on May 13th for a price of $200 USD. Only time will tell whether or not the stock levels will be able to satisfy everyone. Let us know what you think of these, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on all of the latest releases.
