Air Jordan 4 Retro

Debuted in 1989, the Jordan 4 is the second design, made by Tinker Hatfield. Although the shoe might look similar to the previous model, there are a lot of elements, that make this one unique and loved among all sneakerheads. Thanks to the functional eyelets, the wearer can lace the shoe in different ways, which makes this shoe even more fashionable. Another feature, specific to this silhouette is the word “Flight”, which appears under the Jumpman Logo on the tongue. The shoe also offers better perforation, than its predecessors.

Jordan Brand was established in 1997 as a subsidiary of Nike, Inc., dedicated to creating a line of basketball shoes, clothing, and accessories inspired by Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all time. The brand was launched to capitalize on Jordan's immense popularity and impact on both the sports and fashion worlds. Michael Jordan's partnership with Nike began in the early 1980s when he signed a deal, leading to the creation of the iconic Air Jordan line of sneakers. The Air Jordan 1 was released in 1985, and its innovative design and association with Jordan's on-court prowess and personality revolutionized the athletic footwear industry. The brand is mostly hyped thanks to their sneaker collection which features multiple Air Jordan models, each of them being distinguished by a number. Moreover, Jordan has a wide list of successful collaborations over the years. Dior, Off-White, Supreme and many more. It'd be hard to find a well-known brand which hasn't been involved with Nike and its subsidiary - the Jordan.

Designer Tinker Hatfield stated that Michael Jordan moved like a cat, with feline movements but conserved energy. For that reason he came up with a nickname for him - “Black Cat”. One of the Air Jordan 4 colourways carries this nickname and captures the essence of agility and prowess on the basketball court. The Air Jordan 4 Retro “Black Cat” is characterised by its sleek and stealthy aesthetic. It features a predominantly black upper, constructed with a combination of premium materials such as nubuck or suede. The all-black colour scheme extends to the laces, eyelets, and plastic wing overlays, creating a monochromatic look. Subtle details such as the Jumpman logo on the heel tab and the "Flight" branding on the tongue are often rendered in black or dark grey to maintain the overall stealthy vibe.
