Let’s be real, 2021 was relatively lackluster as far as sneakers were concerned. While we saw notable offerings from A Ma Maneiere and Salehe Bembury, they were few and far between, drowned out by a larger number of mediocre GRs. 2022, though, seems to be a return to form, as Jordan Brand alone has more than plenty of releases to look forward to. The Air Jordan 4 “Infrared” is just one of many, and it’s currently set to drop later this May.
Official images only stoke the flame, further teasing the colorway just after a sizable delay. But at least this gives us a closer look at the pair’s design, which some have likened to the “Green Glow” from 2013. And this is a rather apt comparison, as the “Infrared” mimics everything but the older shoe’s green accents. The bright, titular red takes the latter’s place, standing atop a base rendered in both dark and light grey nubuck. And save for the tongue label, the black detailing at the netting, support wings, lace unit, and heel only add to the similarities.
Enjoy an official look at the Air Jordan 4 “Infrared” below. These are currently slated to release on May 12th at Nike SNKRS and select retailers.
Over at Nike, the brand is honoring street signs with the upcoming Air Force 1 Mid London.
The Spring 2022 season for Jordan Brand continues to grow with heavy hitting footwear offerings, and one of the makeups that plenty of sneakerheads across the globe will have it eyes set on copping is the Air Jordan 4 “Infrared.” It’s been previewed on several different occasions by the usual social media sneaker leakers, but now we have finally have a glimpse at its official images.
As soon as these surfaced on the Internet, many were already drawing comparisons to the Air Jordan 4 “Green Glow” pair from 2013 given the color-blocking of its neutral tones. Save for the titular accents that are sprinkled to the tongue’s Jumpman logos and eye stays, the charcoal gray nubuck uppers, lighter gray forefoot overlays, solid black netting, laces and heel counters and the brighter-toned heel insignias are all transferred over. More grayscale schemes are utilized for the midsoles. A glossy black mold separates the top half from the bottom while an angelic unit sits below and houses a translucent Air unit.
Interested in copping? SNKRS and other retailers are gearing up to drop these come May 12 for $200 USD.
In case you missed it, the Air Jordan 1 Low is slated to release soon in a “Shadow Toe” inspired colorway.
