The forget-me-not flower represents remembrance, love and faithfulness, making this Aluminum, Blue Tint, Oil Green and white AJ 4 Retro colorway perfectly tailored toward Mother’s Day. Drawing directly from the delicate blue forget-me-not bloom, the sneaker features a crisp white leather upper that serves as a clean canvas for a spectrum of blue accents. Aluminum blue hues dominate the mesh underlays, TPU Wing supports, eyestays and laces, creating a harmonious and refreshing contrast against the white backdrop. Oil Green touches further enhance the palette, providing subtle depth and sophistication.
The standout feature of this edition, though, is the removable floral chenille patches on the laces and tongues, directly referencing the forget-me-not flower and reinforcing the Mother’s Day theme. These patches are not only visually striking but also give the sneaker a sense of personalization and sentimentality. The blue theme continues across the Jumpman branding on the tongue, heel tab and sockliner for a cohesive, sophisticated design.
It may not smell like roses or lilies, but wrapping a pair of these sneakers means she’ll get to open special edition packaging adorned with floral artwork in the same blue and white color scheme. Inside, the shoes are wrapped in natural wax tissue paper, reminiscent of a flower bouquet, and accompanied by a Mother’s Day card featuring a heartfelt poem to further elevate the gift experience.
Colorway aside, the Air Jordan 4 Retro retains all those signature details that make this shoe so special. Originally released in 1989 and designed by Tinker Hatfield, the AJ 4 was the first Jordan to feature overmolded mesh, visible Air cushioning in both the heel and forefoot and unique Wings for customized lacing support. The Retro editions keep that heritage alive, often released in coveted colorways that stir nostalgia while staying fresh for new generations. And the “Forget Me Not” colorway will be remembered as one that not only celebrates mothers, but also continues the 2024 celebration of the silhouette’s 2024 35th anniversary.
Available in women’s, preschool, and toddler sizing, the Air Jordan 4 Retro “Forget Me Not” sneaker will be available at Hibbett beginning May 3. Don’t wait to surprise Mom with matching sneakers for herself and the little ones.
