Brandon King

Fifteen years after its original 2006 release, the “Lightning” Air Jordan 4 is speculated to make its return to retail in 2021. At this juncture, there are no images available but it should do its level best to stay true to its progenitor, meaning a tour yellow nubuck upper with black netting and grey detailing above a white midsole and black rubber outsole. The scuttlebutt is that these will make their second retail run next August and will carry a $190 USD sticker price. Air Jordan 4 Tour Yellow/Multi-Color/Multi-Color/Dark Blue…
