Since its release in 1989, the eye-catching Air Jordan 4 kicks have become a staple in the sneaker world, and for good reason – it was designed by the legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield (who also designed the Air Max and many other Jordan sneakers). Step right up and feast your eyes on the ultimate showdown of Air Jordan 4 colorways! We’ve laced up the 10 best releases!

Air Jordan 4 Retro Bred

You just can’t like Jordans without owning an Air Jordan 4, and the Bred colourway is the holy grail of the silhouette. This iconic AJ 4, nicknamed “Black Cement 4,” features a sleek black upper with grey highlights, a white midsole with black, white, and grey accents, and a vibrant red sole.

The iconic Air Jordan 4 White Cement was originally released in 1989 and has since had several re-releases (of course!). It features a pure white leather upper, black accents, and the iconic cement grey detailing — making it one of the most recognisable colourways of the AJ4.

The Nike Air Jordan 4 Military Blue is a classic iteration of the AJ4 that features a white leather upper and grey accents with military blue detailing. One of the first colours to be released in 1989, it made its triumphant return to shelves in 2012 and has since become a staple of Jordan fanatics’ collections. They were one of the best selling AJ4s of 2024.

The Air Jordan 4 ‘Kaws’ is an exclusive collaboration between Jordan Brand and celebrated artist Kaws. It was released in 2017 to great fanfare. Featuring a plush grey suede upper, the shoe incorporates Kaws iconography onto the heel, hang tag and a translucent sole.

If there was one must-have sneaker in 2018, it was definitely the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 4 Cactus Jack. This striking blue hue on the upper reflects Houston Oilers, which is Scott’s favourite American football team, and the logo on the inner sole and heel symbolizes his record label, Cactus Jack.

Off-White x Nike Air Jordan 4 ‘Sail’

Union LA and Jordan combined for some amazing streetwear sneakers. The Guava Ice collaboration is one of the most popular and sought-after pairs. This AJ4 sneaker features a lot of fun and unique features, such as a folded and sewn tongue, translucent wing detailing, and layered suede on top of the mesh.
