Why the Air Jordan 4 Is a Streetwear Staple

The Air Jordan 4 is one of the most beloved sneakers in streetwear culture. The plastic wings (or "wings") on the side are both functional and decorative – they allow the laces to pull the upper tighter for a locked-in fit. The mesh panels provide breathability, which was innovative for a basketball shoe in 1989. The chunky, robust silhouette is perfect for streetwear looks. 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.

How to Style and Care for Air Jordan 4

The chunky silhouette is made for streetwear – pair 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. The visible Air unit should be kept away from sharp objects. The painted midsole is prone to chipping – handle with care.
