Air Jordan 4

What Makes the Air Jordan 4 a Streetwear Staple

The Air Jordan 4 introduced several design elements that have become iconic in sneaker culture. The plastic wings (or "wings") on the side are both functional – they allow the laces to pull the upper tighter for a locked-in fit – and decorative. The mesh panels on the toe and sides provide breathability, which was innovative for a basketball shoe in 1989. The visible Air unit in the heel offers cushioning, and the herringbone outsole pattern provides excellent traction. The silhouette is chunky, robust, and perfect for streetwear. Michael Jordan wore the Air Jordan 4 during his fourth season and hit the famous "The Shot" – a series-winning buzzer-beater against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1989 playoffs.

How to Style and Care for Air Jordan 4

The chunky silhouette of the Air Jordan 4 is made for streetwear. Pair them with loose-fit jeans, cargo pants, or joggers. The plastic wings can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The mesh panels collect dust – use a soft brush or compressed air to clean them. The visible Air unit should be kept away from sharp objects. The leather upper is durable but can stain – use a leather cleaner for tough spots. The painted midsole is prone to chipping – handle with care. For women's sizing, visit Women's Air Jordan 4.
