Set to drop on July 26, 2025, the Air Jordan 4 “Rare Air” delivers a bold new twist on the classic silhouette. This edition sports a mix of Black, Deep Royal Blue, Dark Smoke Grey, Fire Red, and Tech Grey tones, making it one of the more eye-catching colorways in recent memory. A premium black nubuck upper sets the tone, accented by smoke grey toe caps, royal blue inner linings, and heel tabs that bring visual depth. The Fire Red hits on the lace wings and outsoleoffer just the right pop of contrast, while the Tech Grey midsole adds a neutral balance to this high-energy color palette.
One standout feature is the removable Velcro tongue patch, a rare design choice that harkens back to the early 2000s and gives wearers a customizable edge. The pair also comes housed in a special edition box with a moody portrait of MJ himself—adding to the collectible appeal.

Originally released in 1989, the Air Jordan 4 marked a pivotal moment in sneaker history. Designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, the AJ4 introduced features like visible Air cushioning, mesh side panels, and winged eyelets, all crafted with both performance and style in mind.
The shoe gained cultural prominence when it was featured in Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing and became a streetwear staple ever since. Over the decades, the Jordan 4 has seen countless collaborations and colorways, but the “Rare Air” label is reserved for releases that push the envelope.
The 2025 “Rare Air” continues that legacy by blending modern design updates with heritage aesthetics, making it a must-have for collectors and new fans alike.

If you’re planning to grab the Air Jordan 4 “Rare Air,” we recommend going true to size (TTS) for most people. The AJ4 silhouette has a roomy toe box and a slightly narrow midfoot, but the materials used here—particularly the nubuck upper—should offer some break-in flexibility over time.
For wide-footers, a half-size up could provide added comfort, especially if you plan on wearing thicker socks or keeping them on all day. That said, casual wearers should have no trouble with their normal Nike/Jordan size.
Always remember to factor in your personal preference when it comes to fit—some like a snug performance fit, others want that looser lifestyle feel.
