Back in 1989, Tinker Hatfield sketched the Air Jordan 4, and sneakers changed. You see it everywhere for a reason. It looks sharp, wears easy, and keeps winning new fans. We ranked 20 colorways because your rotation deserves a few playful flexes today right now, go look.
Air Jordan 4 “Retro Bred”
You can’t call yourself a Jordan fan without an Air Jordan 4. The Bred, born in 1989, still runs the show. Black uppers, grey hits, white midsoles, red soles. Clean math. You wear them, people notice. You know why. Your rotation instantly looks smarter. It never feels overdone on feet.
Air Jordan 4 “White Cement“
First dropped in 1989, the Air Jordan 4 White Cement keeps showing up like that friend who never ages. White leather, black hits, cement grey speckling. You’ve seen the re-releases stack up, yet this pair still works with your beaters, your jeans, your rotation since day one somehow.
Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue”
You’ve seen the Air Jordan 4 Military Blue everywhere for a reason. Born in 1989, back again in 2012, this white leather classic with grey panels and blue hits still sells hard in 2024. If it’s in your rotation, you already know why collectors keep circling back every single time.
Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat”
Michael Jordan picked up a bunch of nicknames over the years, but “Black Cat” sticks because it captures how sleek his moves looked on a bad night for defenders. The 2025 Nike Air Jordan 4 Black Cat keeps that energy. All-black nubuck gives it a smooth feel, while shiny lace hardware catches light in all the right places. Sneakerheads already know the AJ4 silhouette hits hard; this version keeps it clean enough to pair with anything yet rich enough that you’ll actually want to wear it. If you’re into Black Cats and black heat, this one’s worth eyeballing.
KAWS x Air Jordan 4
Released in 2017, the Air Jordan 4 Kaws collab landed like a mic drop. People noticed. Grey suede everywhere, glow-ready sole, KAWS X hands stamped on the heel and hang tag. Own a pair and your sneaker rotation still flexes today with zero effort now.
Travis Scott x Air Jordan 4 “Cactus Jack”
Back in 2018, if your sneaker rotation skipped the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 4 Cactus Jack, you noticed. The dusty blue upper nods to the Houston Oilers, Scott’s childhood team, while Cactus Jack stamps the heel and insole. You didn’t just wear them. You flexed your taste.
Off-White x Air Jordan 4 “Sail”
Off-White’s take on the Air Jordan 4 ‘Sail’ still hits hard in 2026. Virgil Abloh stripped it back with creamy phantom tones, exposed details, and zero fluff. You notice it instantly on-foot. Collectors still chase pairs worldwide.
Union x Air Jordan 4 “Guava Ice”
Union LA teaming with Jordan gave you streetwear gold. The Guava Ice AJ4 still hogs wishlists. That folded, sewn tongue looks hacked by design. Translucent wings flash attitude. Layered suede over mesh adds depth. You spot it instantly on feet.
Levi’s x Air Jordan 4 NRG “Denim”
The Levi’s x Air Jordan 4 NRG ‘Denim’ lands like a flex you feel in your knees. Denim everywhere. Red tab intact. Tobacco stitching popping. That leather logo patch seals it. If you care about Jordan Brand history and workwear swagger, this 2018 drop still earns grail status in your rotation.
Air Jordan 4 Flyknit “University Red”
Thirty years after its 1989 debut, the Air Jordan 4 got a Flyknit remix. Nike rolled out four loud colourways, then dropped University Red on June 14, 2019, at select global retailers. If you grabbed a pair, you weren’t chasing nostalgia. You were wearing history that learned new tricks.
Air Jordan 4 “Fire Red”
You know why the Air Jordan 4 Fire Red still hits in 2026. Michael Jordan wore it at 26, back in 1989, and the white leather, black hits, and red pops still work with your jeans today. You buy it, you wear it, you don’t overthink it. That’s the point.
Air Jordan 4 “Lightning”
In 2006, Jordan Brand brought “Lightning” and “Thunder” to the Jordan 4 silhouette. While the predominantly black “Thunder” design is certainly the more versatile of the two looks, the yellow “Lightning” pair is that flash of colour every collection needs.
Undefeated x Air Jordan 4
Undefeated was the first Jordan collaborator to add their own flair to the Jordan 4 silhouette, and their MA-1 flight jacket-inspired design remains one of the best looks the Tinker Hatfield-designed model has worn.
Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “Pine Green”
There’s a reason why the Nike SB Jordan 4 was heralded as the best sneaker collaboration of 2023. The style teams clean white leather uppers, suede grey mudguards, and stylish pops of green with skate-ready enhancements. As the brands themselves stated, “Some things just go better together.”
Air Jordan 4 Retro “Doernbecher”
Isiah Scott’s Superman AJ4s are still a must-have for many sneakerheads. The sneaker was created in 2011 as part of Nike’s Doernbecher Freestyle Program, drawing inspiration from Scott’s own nickname. While the black uppers, laser detailing, and neon green accents are undeniably appealing, the Superman logo on the tongue seals the deal for us.
Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Sail”
Nigel Sylvester is proving he’s not just passing through the sneaker world. After locking in a strong year with his Air Jordan 4 “Brick by Brick,” the BMX pro is lining up even more heat. First, a Jordan 1 collab in 2025, then an alternate white version of his Jordan 4 that could drop in summer 2026. Think crisp white leather, Firewood Orange hits, and his cheeky “Bike Air” logo stamped on the heel. House of Heat mockups already show off the fresh look, swapping the usual Fire Red tones for a Brick Orange twist. Sylvester isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 4 “Dark Mocha”
A Ma Maniére is lining up another Air Jordan 4, ending 2026 in Dark Mocha style. Leaks point to Dark Mocha, Bronze Eclipse, Black, and Violet Ore, with black soles nodding to 2022 and 2024 pairs. Travis Scott sparked earth tones in 2019; this one polishes them for you maybe.
Air Jordan 4 “Rare Air Laser”
Back in 2005, the Air Jordan 4 Laser hit shelves on August 20, black and grey with red cuts, scarce and loud. In 2015, it flipped white and chrome. Now reports say 2026 brings black, red, blue and grey again.
Undefeated x Air Jordan 4
Jordan Brand loves a flex, and you’re invited. In 2005, it dropped 72 pairs of the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4, then watched resale go wild. In 2026, the grail returns for the model’s 40th birthday, dressed in Deep Green, Black, Sail, and Clementine. You blinked, history repeated again fast.
Air Jordan 4 “Wet Cement Paris Olympics”
Paris looms over this all-grey sneaker, nicknamed for its concrete look. Splatter hits and debossed netting add texture without noise. Released in 2024, it feels smarter than first glance suggests. You notice it more with wear, especially when paired with simple fits on city streets at dusk after long days.
