Nike SB | Air Jordan 4

No Comments

Released in 1989, the Air Jordan 4 took flight with Tinker Hatfield’s design chops and Sandy Bodecker’s help at the helm. Introducing new materials to the courts and evolved tech for breathability, the AJ4 continued the franchise’s cutting design and luxury-influenced aesthetics. Like the man himself, the run remained flawless and the Air Jordan 4 instantly became an icon. Beloved by many for its undeniable style and comfort, the original Air Jordan 4’s design became a perpetual “what if” for skateboarders looking for a performance shoe that stepped up to the progression of a revolutionary era. In 2023, the circle is complete.

Featuring Nicole Hause, Dashawn Jordan, Oski Rozenberg, Caleb Barnett, Antonio Durao, and Eric Koston.

The Nike SB Air Jordan 4 drops March 17 in select skate shops and March 21 in SNKRS.
