Kids' Air Jordan 4 Retro "Hyper Violet" Launching 04/26 Colorway: WHITE/HYPER VIOLET Style: Girls' Sneakers

Release Date: April 26, 2024

While Michael Jordan was already a famous basketball star, the Air Jordan 4 is what made him a global fashion icon. Tinker Hatfield's second design for MJ dropped in 1989 with a cameo in Spike Lee’s "Do the Right Thing" that rocketed the line to mainstream status. That's why we're still seeing new colorways drop today.

Case in point: the kids' Air Jordan 4 Retro "Hyper Violet." This kick uses white and Hyper Violet to make a statement whether your little one is harnessing their street style in class or on the playground. Grab it in grade school kids', preschool kids' and toddler sizes starting April 26.

A completely white leather upper on the Air Jordan 4 Retro "Hyper Violet" won't be the easiest to keep clean if you've got an adventurous child, but it sure does look fresh. Even the iconic side panel netting is white on white for a crisp monochromatic style.

The standard plastic wing eyelets—crafted by Hatfield for improved durability—are stunning in Hyper Violet. They attach at the ankle and traverse back toward the heel to improve lockdown. Similarly, the waffle eyelet at the bottom of the lace box is also Hyper Violet. The plastic wing on the toddler and preschool shoes is actually a sewn-on patch instead of a functional piece.

Another difference between the big and smaller kids' shoes is the branding. The grade school shoe has a classic Jumpman on the tongue with "Flight" printed at the bottom, while the smaller versions only have an embroidered Jumpman. Also distinct is the heel branding, which features a Hyper Violet shadowed Jumpman on the grade school shoe and a simpler Hyper Violet Jumpman on the little kids' shoes.

The shoes collide again on the midsole, which is white on all variants. The grade school kids' version has a visible Air unit in the heel, while the smaller shoes don't. However, all feature a Hyper Violet rubber outsole that'll help even wobbly kids maintain their balance.

Show your little ones the path of the Black Cat early in life with the Air Jordan 4 Retro "Hyper Violet." It drops on April 26 in grade school kids', preschool kids' and toddler sizes online and at your local Hibbett stores.
