Air Jordan 4
Let's talk about a legend in the sneaker world: the Air Jordan 4 Retro. For those of you who appreciate a mix of history, style and performance in kicks, this one’s for you.
Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the OG Air Jordan 4 debuted in 1989 during a pivotal season in Michael Jordan’s illustrious basketball career. With its overhauled design and enhanced functionality, the sneaker was an instant hit both on and off the court. The introduction of mesh panels, wing laces, and superior cushioning improved its performance, while unique design elements like the visible Air Sole and "Flight" logo added to its aesthetic appeal. It’s the shoe MJ wore when he made "The Shot," one of the most iconic moments in NBA history, which only added to its legend.
Air Jordan 4 Retros are new versions and re-releases of the OG AJ 4. Score your next pair of these iconic shoes at Hibbett, either online or in-store.

Air Jordan 4 FAQs
How do Air Jordan 4s fit and are they true to size?
The Air Jordan 4 generally fits true to size for most people. However, the silhouette features a slightly narrower toe box and forefoot construction compared to other models. If you have wider feet, we recommend going up half a size for a more comfortable fit. Newer releases, such as the SB Jordan 4, offer a more accommodating, modern fit that stays true to size for most foot shapes.
Why are Jordan 4s so popular?
The Air Jordan 4 remains a cultural icon due to its bold design, historical significance, and versatility. Originally released in 1989, it was the first Jordan to feature a visible Air-Sole unit and structural mesh panels. Its unique "wings" lacing system and frequent high-profile collaborations keep it at the top of sneaker rotations for both collectors and casual streetwear fans.
Can I still play basketball in Air Jordan 4s?
While the AJ4 was a revolutionary performance basketball shoe in 1989, modern athletic footwear has significantly evolved. Today, most players prefer modern performance shoes for the court as they offer better responsiveness, lighter weight, and advanced cushioning. The AJ4 is now considered a premier lifestyle and heritage sneaker best suited for everyday wear.
What makes the Air Jordan 4 design unique?
The AJ4 introduced several iconic design elements, including the TPU support "wings" inspired by climbing harnesses, breathable mesh side panels, and the signature visible Air-Sole unit. These features combined technical function with a bold, high-fashion aesthetic that helped the sneaker transcend its sports roots.
How do I clean my Air Jordan 4s?
Because Jordan 4s often feature sensitive materials like nubuck, suede, or mesh, avoid submerging them in water. We recommend using a specialized sneaker cleaning kit with a soft-bristled brush. Gently scrub the uppers with a mild cleaning solution, and always allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity.
Do Air Jordan 4s require a break-in period?
Yes, like many retro silhouettes, some Air Jordan 4s—especially those made with premium leather or nubuck—may require a short break-in period. Wearing them for short durations or around the house helps the materials soften and mold to your foot shape, eventually providing a more comfortable, personalized fit.
How should I style my Jordan 4s?
The Air Jordan 4 is incredibly versatile. They look great paired with tapered joggers or cargo pants to highlight the silhouette. For a more casual look, they pair perfectly with relaxed-fit denim or shorts. Their chunky, structured profile makes them an excellent centerpiece for almost any streetwear outfit.
