Race Against the Clock
The Chicago Bulls were down one point with only a few seconds remaining on the clock. Jordan drives the ball and then he soars into the air, making his legendary buzzer-beating move (dubbed "The Shot") - propelling the Bulls into the next round of the playoffs. The Shot stunned the world and the shoes on His Airness’ feet? The Air Jordan 4.
Pop Culture Kicks
On top of its spectacular design, the shoe appeared in Spike Lee’s film “Do the Right Thing,” going beyond merely impacting the game of basketball and making its mark on pop culture. The shoe got its first retro release a decade later, in ’99. Another hallmark of the Air Jordan 4: it was the first in the AJ line to enjoy a collaboration. Jordan teamed up with Undefeated, an L.A. sneaker boutique, for an extremely limited run of sneakers — the Undefeated x Jordan 4 — that got auctioned off. That same year, Eminem teamed up for another limited collab — Air Jordan 4 Encore — to promote the release of his new album. Both of these hard-to-find releases are true collectibles, commanding top-notch figures.
Today, the AJ 4 endures, enjoying new colorway releases and special collaborations. As a Jordans retailer, let Hibbett | City Gear connect you with a pair of these transcendent shoes first blasted into the sports stratosphere by The Shot. Find the shoes in full family sizing in-stores and online.
Are Jordan 4s good for basketball?
If you’re looking for a good pair of sneaks to leisurely hoop in, the Jordan 4 is a contender. However, for the serious player, there are more modern options that provide extra bells and whistles to up your game. But for shooting hoops after work with friends, Jordan 4s are certainly a comfortable and supportive silhouette.
