Tinker Hatfield produced hit after hit; after the Jordan 3 marked its place in the analogs of Air Jordan history, he wasted no time in releasing the next showstopper for the brand. The Air Jordan 4 released in 1989 cemented Hatfield as a legend within the world of sneakers and showed the world a more assertive design inspired by the winning mentality of the company’s namesake.
The Retro 4’s latest release, “Crimson,” pulls from a colorway, “Thunder,” that originally debuted back in 2006. The red and black color combo feels decidedly Jordan and makes for a bold addition to anyone's collection.
It’s always exciting to see something from the past return, especially when every feature that made it a classic is still intact. Suede nubuck upper, visible air unit, the mesh quarter panel, and tongue bottom are all back and better than ever.
In full family sizing, the Jordan Retro 4 “Crimson” drops 1.15 at 10 am EST.
