What Are Some Air Jordan 4 Red Sneaker Options?
Air Jordan 4 red sneakers feature a unique silhouette and can even be found with various accent colors.
The Air Jordan IV was a successful follow-up to Tinker Hatfield’s inaugural Air Jordan III release. While the legendary designer did not make any significant technological upgrades to the Jordan 4, Hatfield did come up with a unique design that set this sneaker apart from its contemporaries. Rubber wings were incorporated into the shoe’s lacing system. The mesh netting found on the side and tongue of the sneaker was dipped in plastic to give it a sturdier look.
The Jordan 4 debuted in four original colorways, including White/Cement, Fire Red, Black/Red, and Military Blue. It would not be until later that retro releases of all-red Jordan 4 sneakers would be offered on eBay.
Air Jordan 4 Retro Red Thunder
This Retro Jordan 4 version was released in 2022. It uses a familiar colorway that was seen in 2006 and 2012. The black and red sneaker sports a black upper made of nubuck. The shoe has hits of crimson red on the molded eyelets, interior tongue, quarter panel, and midsole. A visible Air unit can be seen in the heel, just above the black outsole. A white Jumpman logo sits on the heel and tongue.
Air Jordan 4 Retro FIBA
Released in 2019 to celebrate the FIBA World Cup, this Retro version features a red tumbled leather upper with obsidian accents for the eyelets, collar, and overlays above the midsole. Elements of the competing countries’ flags can be found in the side panels in lieu of the traditional mesh. A visible Air unit is still in the heel while a metallic gold Jumpman logo sits on the heel.
Air Jordan 4 Retro Toro Bravo
This Air Jordan 4 Red Retro sneaker was released in 2013 and sports a red nubuck upper with black detailing throughout the shoe. Red plastic molded mesh is used in conjunction with a black side panel, giving this retro version an iconic AJ IV look. Black is also used for the midsole, heel tab, laces, and side wing. Cement Grey is used for the eyelets, tongue patch, and outsole. A large white Jumpman logo sits on the back of the heel.
WMNS Air Jordan 4 Retro NRG Singles Day
The WMNS Red Jordan 4's retro model was released in 2018 to celebrate the Singles Day holiday. It showcases a bright fire-red leather upper, complete with red side panels covered in red mesh. A red midsole blends nicely into a gum-colored rubber outsole. Hints of black accents are used for the molded lacing eyelets, Jumpman patch on the tongue, and Jumpman logo on the heel.
Air Jordan 11LAB4 Red Patent Leather
This 2013 retro Jordan 4 release was a part of the Element Series. For this line, the Jordan brand combined distinct design elements from two product lines into one new design. In this case, they took elements from the Jordan 4 and Jordan 11 to create the 11LAB4 Retro Jordan. The patent leather panels from the Jordan 11 were used as the main inspiration as the entire upper is made from shiny patent leather. However, the key elements of the AJ IV are still visible, including the mesh panels and lace system wings. The entire sneaker uses a deep red color, with even the Jumpman logos on the heel and tongue appearing in red.
