Should you have a soft spot for gorgeous suede sneakers, the Air Jordan 4 “Forest” by the talented custom sneaker artist Ant Kai will definitely pique your interest.
The Stunning Details of the Air Jordan 4 “Forest”
In Ant Kai’s latest creation, stunning brown suede materials dominate the sneaker’s main theme. However, to keep things a bit interesting the suede is rendered in three unique shades. The darkest hue covers the mudguard, while a lighter, richly textured fabric shapes the lower portion of the AJ4. From there, a warm-toned suede embellishes the tongue, eye stays and collar creating a stunning all-suede build.
Not to forget, the inclusion of an attractive green shade on the eyelets, interior lining, pull tabs, and midsole helps us to understand exactly where these kicks get their name. Their presence alongside the brilliant brown suede certainly conjures up thoughts of a lush “Forest.”

Complementing the design is a midsole in tones of wheat and brown, along with a dark brown rubber outsole.
Why We Love These Sneakers
I am undoubtedly a fan of suede sneakers. For me, suede is just a step up from your usual leather construction. They may be more challenging to maintain, but they look effortlessly stylish while in tip-top condition. Plus, brown shoes make for highly versatile footwear. Although I won’t lie, the presence of green details may limit this versatility a bit.
Release Details
The opportunity to own a pair of these stunning custom-made kicks starts on Wednesday, 2/28, at 6 p.m. PT via Ant Kai’s online store. However, owning these exquisite custom kicks will likely carry quite a hefty price tag as Kai’s designs usually hover between $1500 and $2000 USD per pair.
