The Air Jordan 4 Retro OG 'Military Blue' re-release is arguably one of the most highly anticipated drops of 2024. Known for its classic design, the 'Military Blue' colorway, also now going by the 'Industrial Blue' name, is a symbol of nostalgia for many fans and collectors. The Air Jordan 4, designed by Tinker Hatfield, is the fourth model in Michael Jordan's legendary signature shoe line with Nike. Released in 1989 for $110, it was only available in four colorways, including the now iconic 'Military Blue' design.
The 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 has only been re-released as a Retro on two different occasions. The first-ever Retro release was on September 9, 2006, featuring a Jumpman logo on the heel tabs, a departure from the original Nike Air branding. This change was largely due to Jordan Brand's efforts to establish itself as a separate brand. The next re-release arrived six years later, on June 9, 2012, again featuring the Jumpman branding. The upcoming May 2024 release marks the third overall Retro drop and the fourth overall release. It will be the first time the Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' returns in its original 1989 construction, featuring Nike Air logos on the heel.
The 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4's design features an off-white upper with blue accenting on the midsole, tongue, eyelets, and heel. The shoe also includes grey toe box detailing, outsole, and plastic wing tabs. The midsole cushion unit is white with a transparent Air bubble, showcasing Nike's staple Air technology. Although Michael Jordan himself has never worn the 'Military Blue' colorway on the court, it is still considered a timeless classic among fans and collectors and will no doubt sell out just like previous releases.
