Top 7 Air Jordan 4s of All Time

From hardwood floors to mainstream domination, when you think of the Jordan Brand, the Jordan 4 is usually one of the silhouettes that springs to mind.

Rich in basketball heritage and a true masterpiece masterminded by Nikes creative visionary Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 4 first hit our shelves in 1989.

Since then, it has become a forefront figure in sneaker culture, boasting an everlasting span of colorways and collaborations that have lent many air enthusiasts their sense of streetwear identity, both in the past and for generations to come.

At Crep, we continue to celebrate the iconography of this 35yearold grail by selecting 7 of our favorite Jordan 4s of all time. So, without further ado, lets take a deep dive into the archives to see the gems weve picked out.

1. Air Jordan 4 Military Blues'

Release Dates: 1989, 2006, 2012, 2024

Editor Notes:

Although this fit has never graced our courts, the Air Jordan 4 Military Blues stands as one of the most culturally revered sneakers to ever come out of the Jordan brand. The titular shades of blue and white that draw comparison to the UNC colorway are a true embodiment of Hatfields visionary talent. They may not have complemented the Bulls uniforms, but they have always been fashioned in our hearts and will continue to make their mark in the sneaker scene (as long as they keep the Nike Air logo at the back).

Crep Recommends:

Give the Military Blues a deep clean with our Crep Protect Cure, targeting dirt and grime in those hardtoreach areas.

2. Air Jordan 4 Breds

Release Dates: 1989, 1999, 2008, 2019, 2021, 2024

Editor Notes:

Arguably a fanfavorite colorway since the beginning of time, or let's say 1985 after MJ inked a deal with Nike, and then the rest was history. Such a historic moment ushered its way into 1989 when the Bred colorway was finally reissued, quickly becoming a Got em moment for many oldschool collectors out there. Well, thats only if you had the bred to cop them in the first place, as this one came in at a hefty $110 price tag, $45 greater than its AJ1 predecessor.

Crep Recommends:

Protect these investments with a biweekly spray of our Crep Protect rain and stain repellent, and youll never have to worry about ruining your favorite kicks.

3. Union LA x Air Jordan 4 Off Noir

Release Date: 2020

Editor Notes:

One thing we know about the Jordan Brand is that they love a great collaboration or two. And the Union LA x Air Jordan 4 Off Noir might have just hit the nail on the head. Continuing their collaborative saga from the 2018 Varsity Red addition, this rendition is also flushed with details. Stacked with buttery suede, meshinserted toe boxes, and sides, the fit oozes streetwear charm. TPU wings take on a translucent build, while pops of red embellish the eyelets, the Nike Air logos, and the branded tongue. Union LA insignias pull this collaborative effort together with an extra slice of brand nostalgia.

Crep Recommends:

Crep Protect Cure will give your Off Noirs the premium treatment they deserve. Its quickfoaming action gets to work on the toughest dirt, grime, and stains, while also being gentle on suede, mesh, and leather.

4. Travis x Air Jordan 4 Purple F&F

Release Date: 2019

Editor Notes:

Everything La Flame touches turns to goldwell, so to speak about his everevolving sneaker line with the Jordan brand. One that particularly captured the hearts of many was the Air Jordan 4 x Travis Scott Purple, and were talking about the rarer friends and family version. This limited run was only 25 pairs strong, and we can see why. The impeccable use of purple suede that details the uppers is nothing but sophisticated, lending its wearers a new luxurious feel to this hardwood icon.

Crep Recommends:

The inside of the Travis 'Purples' should be as fresh as the outside. Buy our Crep Protect Pills to eliminate unsightly odor.

5. Air Jordan 4 x SB Pine Green

Release Date: 2023

Editor Notes:

Arguably one of the best sneakers to have come out of 2023, the Air Jordan 4 x SB Pine Greens is a true testament to those who do 180s in skate parks or rummage around city tarmacs. It is genuinely a sneaker for all. Its hybrid design is a collector's dream: the premium leather, suededressed toe cap, and clean white and green color scheme are all tied together with the Nike SB branded heels. We dont know about you, but we certainly had to cop another pair of these.

Crep Recommends:

Keep these Pine Greens clean on the go with our signature Starter Pack kit.

6. Air Jordan 4 x KAWS

Release Date: 2017

Editor Notes:

In 2017, New Yorkbased artist KAWS dipped his feet into sneaker territory to unveil one of the most profound Air Jordan 4s of all time. Beholdthe Air Jordan 4 x KAWS. This masterpiece encapsulates KAWS fluent design language, landing in a soft, minimalist suede upper that makes up the fits entirety, coupled with a cobranded heel that rounds off this headturning design.

Crep Recommends:

Keep that suede in topnotch condition with the Crep Protect Eraser.

7. Air Jordan 4 Black Cats

Release Date: 2006, 2020

Editor Notes:

When it comes to design, they usually say less is more, and that is certainly the case for the Air Jordan 4 Black Cats. The stealthy allblack upper gives a bold feel to this OG basketball silhouette. Monochromatic overlays provide a subtle sheen to the eyelets and parts of the midsole, while smooth suede works its way throughouttrue minimalism at its best.
