With similar neutral hues dressing the entirety of this AJ4 , we know this is going to be an instant sell out and extremely popular with guys and girls alike. One of the more unstated colourways we've seen from a Jordan 4 as of late, this iteration of Michael Jordan's 4th Jordan sneaker takes creamy, tan hues and a mixture of materials to create the ultimate luxurious feel.
Around the toe box is the titular shimmery material, whilst above we can see the iconic netting about the lace unit that we expect from this Jordan silhouette. Attached to the lace unit, we also have the unsurprising addition of the triangular ankle flaps, although this time they come in a transparent TPU material. We especially love the exposed Nike Air unit peeping through the beige midsole, whilst white rubber makes up the rest and adds a clean element to the shoe.
A silver Jumpman can be spied at the top of the chunky tongue, whilst below we have a transparent, pinkish outsole. One of the most anticipated releases to date, the Nike Jordan 4 Shimmer is going to be the one to cop this summer. Michael Jordan pulled off this legendary buzzer-beater with assistance from his Black Cement Air Jordan 4s. It was MJ's fifth year in the league and a brilliant display of his growing dominance as a superstar. The same could be said for Tinker Hatfield, the lead designer for the Air Jordan line.
After the tremendous success of the Air Jordan 3, Hatfield had his work cut out for him. Coming on the heels of one of the most popular sneaker designs ever, did he dare mess with the formula? He opted to keep the overall design similar to its predecessor but boosted the performance features. If the Air Jordan 3 saved Nike's partnership with Jordan, the Air Jordan 4 cemented it - primarily due to the inspired design efforts of Hatfield. The Air Jordan 4 Lightning is a rerelease of the original.
One of the boldest and most sought-after colorways of all time, the Lightning features bright yellow nubuck leather uppers and high-contrast black net overlays. Dark gray triangular wings and black plastic lace supports add a distinctive Air Jordan 4 flair.
Sculpted gray and white soles, the classic Air Jordan textured heel tab, and visible Nike Air midsole units complete the design. The outsoles feature a herringbone traction pattern and small-scale stars on the toes.
The original Air Jordan yellow shoes featured the Air Jordan logo on the tongue and heel. For , the Nike Air logo appears on the heel instead. These are nice. The photos do them no justice. They are a little different from the orignal release, but that's only a slight color difference. Good quality. They are worth buying.

Tinker Hatfield changed up the game on his second of many Air Jordan designs by amping up the performance and breathability. He kept the AJ 3's mid-cut height, the visible Air unit in the heel and the "Nike Air" emblem on the back. Hatfield also retained the signature Jumpman logo on the tongue. For a moment, time stood still as MJ launched the ball over Craig Ehlo, and it soared across the court before falling through the net to the loud echo of the buzzer in the arena.
There was an iconic image of Jordan jumping in the air, his Air Jordan 4s lifting off the glossy court. This would be the first of many game-winning shots and the Bulls' first real shot to be championship contenders.
It was also Jordan's best statistical season overall—where he averaged Amid all the hoopla surrounding the AJ 4 was an ad campaign featuring Michael Jordan and Mars Blackmon, a fictional superfan played by filmmaker Spike Lee. That would not be the Air Jordan's last appearance in a Spike Lee production.
It would be ten years before the Air Jordan 4 returned in retro variations. These two colorways were fundamental to any sneaker enthusiast's collection. The long-term value of this duo isn't necessarily high, considering the volume at which they've been re-released as retros. With leather paneling replacing the mesh, and a Jumpman logo replacing the Nike Air branding—an uncompromising change for many passionate sneakerheads. Do the Right Thing edition, surfaced both as a very limited release with a scuff on the toe box referencing the famous movie scene , and again as a women's release in Black Cat , Pure Money and Thunder were also widely appreciated retros.
It's worth noting that nicknames weren't always initially placed on Air Jordan styles, and often were appointed later by the sneaker community.
