In previous collaborations, we've witnessed the successful partnership between two Nike divisions, particularly on the iconic Air Jordan 1 silhouette, which holds a significant place in skateboarding culture. The Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 High "LA to Chicago" was the most recent joint effort, a shoe that gradually transformed into the Chicago Bulls colorway as it underwent skateboarding wear. With this upcoming Air Jordan 4 release, we anticipate a similar level of storytelling, and sneakerheads are eagerly anticipating it as well.
For this particular pair, an off-white leather dominates the majority of the upper. Underneath, you'll find the beloved gum outsole, a favorite among sneaker enthusiasts and a notable feature seen on various SB Dunks. Breaking away from the norm, the heel showcases a Nike SB logo instead of the usual Jump man or Nike Air, marking a significant departure for the AJ4. Another notable change comes in the form of a suede toe, introduced for its skate-friendly durability, capable of withstanding scrapes and snags. Retaining its basketball heritage, the shoe retains other traditional AJ4 elements such as the netting and wings, reminding us of its roots in the basketball world.
