How It All Began

The Jordan 4 is linked to a rich history. Of course, every basketball fan knows this sneaker is synonymous with Michael Jordan's famous shot against the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1989. From a design perspective, this basketball shoe made a number of innovative changes that have become iconic within the Air Jordan brand.

New Design Elements of the Jordan 4

Tinker Hatfield, who helped design Jordan 3 and subsequent versions, wanted to make some performance-related changes to the 4th brand release. The overall design is similar to the previous Jordan 3, but Hatfield was determined to make these porous and lightweight. Their urethane mesh coverings helped accomplish this.

The Jordan 4 remained a mid top sneaker. Hatfield added wings to increase overall support. The wings were equally beneficial to the customization of the laces.

Durabuck, which is a synthetic leather material, was also added to the Jordan 4. Not only does it enhance the breathability of the shoe, but it also makes it lighter. Nike appreciated the change because of the synthetic material's sustainability.

Jordan 4 sneakers were originally released in 1989 and featured four colorways. Since then, retro versions have been released to commemorate the original. The Air Jordan 4 Retro GS White Oreo is one of these retro releases.

Exploring the Air Jordan 4 Retro GS White Oreo

The White Oreo reversed the white version of the Oreo colorway, which was originally released in 1999. The Air Jordan 4 Retro GS White Oreo details are simple with pops of color. Its upper sole features white tumbled leather instead of Durabuck. The urethane mesh is also white on the sides toward the bottom of the laces.

Molded eyelets on the sneakers are Tech Gray with a black-speckled design. The paneling near the outer sole has the same black speckles surrounding the visible air cushioning unit. This speckled design continues around the heel of the sneaker, which also features a Tech Gray Jumpman.

The outer sole is white and Tech Gray, and both the tongue and outer sole feature a red Jumpman logo. You can purchase a pair on eBay.
