Jordan 4 Retro

Bold contrasts and fine materials make this Jordan 4 Retro a highly desirable proposition. The tonal juxtaposition starts on the outsole, whose surface is marked with multidirectional herringbone grip patterns that provide excellent traction. A portion of Cement Grey resides under the heel, switching to white through the midfoot and the edges of the forefoot. In the centre of the outsole is a smooth black area decorated with a Jumpman in a classic tone known as Infrared 23. This electric red reappears beneath the forefoot just ahead of the Cement Grey toe cap, which itself has been lined with star-shaped nodes that wrap up the front of the toe to lie against the white part of the midsole. A pocket of visible Air can be seen in the heel of this feature, with a second layer of black polyurethane encircling the heel and moving along each flank to deliver all-round comfort.

On the upper, premium suede brings a refined touch to the shoe, firstly on the Cement Grey overlay in the forefoot, then through the Dark Grey segments that cover the quarter and heel. Areas of black netting lie below the bottom and each side of the eyestay, black laces threading through its lines of eyelets. A pair of Infrared 23 lace cages emerges from the seam of the overlay on the lower part of the eyestay and another connects to black triangular pieces at the top. These sturdy wings then attach to the overlay on each side of the heel to improve the structural integrity of the sneaker.

More flashes of red appear within the shoe on the insole and the back of the tongue, a black Jumpman logo adorning the former, the latter carrying a black Air Jordan woven patch. On the heel is a large black panel whose top half has been formed into a pull tab that resembles the characteristic fan shape of the lace cages. Meanwhile, its lower section has been embossed with a Cement Grey Jumpman silhouette. The final eye-catching piece to grace this suave sneaker is the Jordan Flight tongue label, which hosts white lettering below a memorable Infrared Jumpman upon its smooth black surface.
