Michael Jordan bookended the 1988–1989 NBA season with one of the most legendary plays in basketball history while rocking a pair of 4s: “The shot,” a buzzer-beating move in Game Five against Cleveland, pushed Jordan into the stratosphere of sports personalities. The Air Jordan 4 Retro Rare Air offers a fresh take on the iconic sneakers.
The Rare Air design comes with a distinct leather upper and a lasered design, which is hard to see, but upon a close-up inspection, the detailed illustrations are breathtaking. They also feature red and black accents and a visible air bubble at the heel.
