Add the Cool Grey Jordan 4 Sneakers to Your Collection

Jordan sneakers have been at the forefront of lifestyle and basketball sneaker fashion for many years. Over time, Air Jordan sneakers have evolved into new styles, silhouettes, and colorways, such as the Cool Grey Jordan 4 sneakers.

The Cool Grey Jordans have become a staple in sneaker closets around the world.

A Short History of Jordan Sneakers

Air Jordan sneakers go back to Michael Jordan’s beginning in the NBA. He wanted to partner with adidas for his sneaker, but when things didn’t work out, he was convinced to take a deal with Nike. The first Jordan sneaker changed everything people knew about basketball shoes with a black and red upper instead of the white that was common on the court. The first shoes were quickly banned by the NBA for going against their uniform requirements, but Jordan wore them anyway, and Nike used the rebellion as a genius marketing strategy that pushed the Jordans into the eyes of people everywhere. From then on, Air Jordan continued to grow as a brand until splitting from Nike in 1997. The Jordan brand continued to release a new Jordan silhouette every year, and now there are almost 40 Jordan sneakers in the world.

The Jordan 4 Silhouette and the Cool Grey 4

The Jordan 4 was designed by Tinker Hatfield in 1989 with comfort in mind. These sneakers feature the Jumpman logo with the word Air for branding. The sneakers came at a time when Jordans solidified themselves as a part of sneaker history. They even appeared in Spike Lee’s movie “Do the Right Thing,” and proved the effect they had on modern fashion. The original Jordan 4 was first retroed in 1999 and then again in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Various colorways continue to be retroed over time, such as the Cool Grey 4, which was retroed again in 2019.

The Cool Grey Jordan 4 sneakers stay true to the original Jordan 4 silhouette. They keep the nubuck material for the upper and mesh panels on the side. The visible Air sole and padded tongue show the commitment to comfort on this sneaker, too. Plastic features add to the fashionable side of the Jordan 4 with wings, lace holders, and grid panels that are unique to this silhouette.

More About the Cool Grey Jordan 4s

The Cool Grey Jordan 4 has a monochromatic colorway. The 2019 release is similar to the past retro release featuring gray all around the upper and matching the wings going across the collar. The lace holders, inner lining, and fabric label on the tongue are a contrasting Darker Grey. On the tongue, the Jumpman appears on the fabric label. Another Jumpman in chrome appears on the heel. A white midsole breaks up the color on the upper and meets with a black outsole.
