Jordan 4 Retro Manila 2020 Sample

Tinker Hatfield changed up the game on his second of many Air Jordan designs by amping up the performance and breathability. He kept the AJ 3's mid-cut height, the visible Air unit in the heel and the "Nike Air" emblem on the back. Hatfield also retained the signature Jumpman logo on the tongue.

The Air Jordan 4 implemented a more utilitarian approach. Here's what made it stand apart:

• Cost-effective Durabuck synthetic leather upper that wipes clean with ease
• An encapsulated Air unit added to the forefoot
• The word “Flight” incorporated into the Jumpman logo—Air Jordan is meant to fly, after all
• The addition of “wings,” a multiport lacing system with extra holes for a customized fit and enhanced lateral support
• A pull tab added to the heel for an easier wearing experience
• “Over-molded” mesh paneling for increased breathability, the netting was coated with urethane, dipped in soft plastic, then air-blown to remove the plastic from the net’s gaps

The Nike Jordan 4 Retro Travis Scott Cactus Jack collaboration first dropped in June of 2018. Some have compared the Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro Cactus Jack to the Eminem Encore colorway, though the Travis Scott sneakers feature a much lighter shade of University Blue suede. Paint splatter on the lace hardware and a red sock liner keep the look super graphic, while the Cactus Jack Friends and Family variant replaces the classic Jumpman heel logo with a Nike Air Swoosh. Like most Air Jordan IVs, the original Jordan 4 Retro Travis Scott Cactus Jack's price point was set at $225.
