Turning back the clock to the mid ’80s, the “Rare Air” colorway pays homage to the early imperfect production woes of the famous Air Jordan sneaker line.

For $220, this fun edition can be yours now on Nike.com.

When the Air Jordan 1 first released, it sparked worldwide acclaim — but not before one too many incorrect samples landed at retail partners around the globe. Instead of shying away from the production inconsistencies that plague most first-generation products, the Jordan brand embraced the imperfect hodgepodge placements of logos and stitches and flipped the narrative, highlighting them in this premium Air Jordan 4 that feels equal parts heritage and a must-have collectible for sneaker fans.

This fresh iteration of the Air Jordan 4 line features a premium mix of leather and suede combined with signature Jumpman DNA colors to honor Jordan’s heritage. Details such as removable tongue patches and bold Nike Air heel branding give the silhouette a custom feel, while the “Rare Air” insoles add that extra touch of exclusivity.

The Air Jordan 4 “Rare Air” sneaker is available now on Nike.com for $220. Like most Jordan releases, sizes will surely go fast. Shop the release below before they sell out.
