Why This Jordan 4 Drop Is Built for Kids
Nike has been releasing kids' Jordan sneakers for decades, but the current drop marks a special movement in the youth retro style market. Mimicking the look of Air Jordans designed for mom and dad, the Celebration Station collection brings the next generation to the spotlight, with exciting, one-of-a-kind patterns encouraging your kids to embrace what makes them unique.
The November 1 drop will feature three kids' Air Jordan 4 designs, each with features designed to support stages of growth and help them move like they need to at their age.
- Toddlers (TD): The toddler Jordan 4 is designed with traction top of mind, showcasing a thick rubber sole built to last through the cruising stage. Parents looking to start their toddler's shoe collection with a retro icon will love this drop in TD sizing, beginning at six months.
- Pre-school (PS): As kids grow, running and activity become a priority — meaning that you'll want to choose a pair of sneakers built to last through a full day of play. The pre-school version of these Air Jordan shoes offers a more durable cage for active foot support, as well as soft foam underfooting for even more comfort. The Celebration Station release can be perfect for preschoolers beginning to develop their sense of self and style, with bright, bold patterns that make it easy to spot them in a crowd.
- Grade school (GS): Shoes designed for Big Kids (sometimes called "grade school" or "GS") start to focus on blending fashion with function. The Nike Air Jordan 4 retro big kids design offers even more colorway options, combined with a more supportive upper that makes the shoes perfect for transitioning from class to their first court practice.
The Blue Chill drop is all about showing the world who you are and celebrating what makes you shine — a message parents can support with colors and patterns that kids will love.
