The Jordan Retro 4 GS Where the Wild Things Are Sneaker
Learn about the Jordan 4 Retro GS Where the Wild Things Are sneakers.
The Jordan 4 Retro GS Where the Wild Things Are sneaker made its debut on November 5, 2021. Part of the Jordan brand's holiday release, this shoe takes its inspiration from the popular 1963 children's book Where the Wild Things Are. It is a nod to the creative imaginings of author Maurice Sendak. Specially designed for kids, it's exclusively available in toddler and children's sizes.
About the Jordan 4 Retro GS Where the Wild Things Are Shoe
Built for comfort, the Jordan 4 Retro GS Where the Wild Things Are shoe is an updated version of the original Tinker Hatfield Jordan 4 design. With earth tones as its base, it features a diverse range of textures and color accents that mimic the shaggy, fluffy, monster-like beasts of Sendak's story. With colorful, mismatched insoles and eyestays, a plush fur tongue, and a distinctive, sherpa-like feel at its collar, this shoe is primarily made of tan and dark-beige leather, fleece, and mesh. Available at eBay, this sneaker also includes eye-catching pops of bright blue, crimson, neon, and mauve.
The Upper and Insole
The Jordan 4 Retro GS Where the Wild Things Are sneaker has a tan leather upper that includes soft, tonal fleece at the tongue and collar. This creates a warm, cozy feel at the ankle and adequately mimics the fuzzy creatures of Sendak's enduring tale. Both the shoe's woven tongue tag and its heel feature the iconic Jumpman branding that gives Air Jordan shoes their distinctive look and serves as a hallmark of authenticity.
Just as the eyelets on these sneakers are mismatched, the insoles are mismatched as well. One shoe has a bright crimson insole, and the other insole is bright blue. This alternate coloring ties the shoe's many-hued design together and adds a dash of fun for the targeted, all-kid market.
The Midsole and Sole
The midsole of this shoe consists of a flexible, durable white foam. It has visible Air sole cushioning and a dark beige, grippy gum rubber sole for traction. This same grippy gum rubber can be found at the heel and forefoot of the shoe for reliable stopping power, controlled jumping and turning, and moderate traction on slick surfaces.
