Michael Jordan’s Original Air Jordan 4 Gets an Official Detailed Look Days Ahead of Its Release

The Bred Air Jordan 4 Retro OG will be released on Black Friday in true-to-original form.

Michael Jordan’s most popular Air Jordan Retro sneaker is returning to retail for the holiday season in what is arguably its most iconic colorway, and it could be the closest fans have come to the original 1989 version yet.

The Air Jordan 4 Retro OG Bred will be reissued this month in a remastered form, which Nike says aims to mimic the shape, fit and feel of the sneaker’s original iteration. Clad in a black nubuck that’s accented with Fire Red and Cement Gray, the sneaker was first worn by Jordan during the 1989 NBA All-Star Game and later during his unforgettable “The Shot” against the Cleveland Cavaliers to clinch the opening round of the 1989 playoffs.

The upcoming launch will mark the sixth time the model’s Bred colorway has been released following its original 1989 launch, its first reissue for the style’s 10th anniversary in 1999, a Countdown Pack iteration released alongside the Air Jordan 19 in 2008, a 23rd anniversary release in 2012 and a 30th anniversary version in 2019. The style was also used as a reference for 2024’s Bred Reimagined release, which replaced the sneaker’s traditional nubuck upper with an all-leather build.

Purists will be happy to learn that the upcoming Bred reissue is as close as the sneaker has come to its 1989 form since the debut release. Refinements to its shape include a more slanted and tapered toe box, an element that had become notoriously bulbous on retro iterations.
