Air Jordan 4 sneakers are a line of pairs with the most exciting and prosperous place in basketball history that a pair of shoes could hold. The year the sneakers launched, Michael Jordan also accomplished “The Shot” in 1989. Since then, the sneakers have added to a successful collection with plenty of colourways, including the upcoming Air Jordan 4 “Frozen Moments”.
In 1989, the Chicago Bulls were facing the Cleveland Cavaliers. With only three seconds left on the clock, facing a score of 99 to 100, time seemed to stop as Michael Jordan jumped into the air, and the ball left his hands. It landed right in the net as the buzzer went to end the game, winning it for his team.
That moment was forever immortalized, becoming known as “The Shot” and the day that time froze for MJ to carry the win. Now, the Air Jordan 4 “Frozen Moments” is a homage to that great day, with the muted colours and the name. The namesake is taken from a TV ad aired in the 1990s, highlighting this moment as a critical point in MJ’s career.
But enough of the history. Let’s look at these magical wintery sneakers for women. We first saw hints of these incredible women’s exclusives at Nike’s SNKRS Live event in May. Finally, less than a month before their release, we have official images of what we can expect this fall, thanks to @chriscolgan over on Instagram.
These sneakers are a smattering of shades of grey, from Light Iron Ore and Neutral grey of the leather and suede overlays on the upper to the heel, the lining of the sneakers, the tongue, the laces, and even the heel tab.
Instead of plastic or flat-coloured lace support wings, this time, we have a stunning metallic silver to complement the neutral and cool-toned greys of the sneaker.
Bringing a little brightness to the otherwise gloomy and grey sneakers, we have a sail midsole that joins with the grey in the back, which houses the iconic visible Air unit in the sole, and a white Jumpman logo.

Although the sneakers are almost entirely grey, we also have black mesh under the grey netting to balance out the white accents, anchoring the sneakers perfectly and matching the “Flight” typography on the tongue label.
If you want a perfect neutral pair of sneakers to add to your collection that isn’t just 50 shades of beige, the Air Jordan 4 “Frozen Moments” might be the ones for you.
