Tinker Hatfield once again designed this shoe. The Nike Air Jordan 4 featured many new design concepts. First, the straps on the side for increased ankle support. It was nearly impossible for MJ to roll his ankle in these shoes. The Air Jordan 4 again featured the air-sole heel for added cushioning and a full length mid-sole. In the White/Black-Cement colourway, the shoe featured a unique texturing nicknamed “Cookies & Cream” for its striking resemblence. The Air Jordan 4 was another masterpiece to the Air Jordan line-up.

While wearing the Air Jordan 4, Michael Jordan reached new points in his career. Taking home another scoring title with 32.5 points per game, Jordan also appeared in the All-Star Game, First Team NBA, and All-Defense Team. This year was arguably Jordan’s best year despite no championship.

It was in the Air Jordan 4’s that Jordan made “the shot” which was a series winning shot at the buzzer to advance the Bulls to the next round in a do or die situation.

Nike continued the Air Jordan 4 commercials with Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee) and created the famous Can/Can’t TV commercial. Spike Lee really liked these shoes personally and gave them some extra promotion in his movie Do The Right Thing.

A classic scene for all AJ fans is when one of the persons in the movie gets his brand new AJ IV’s scuffed by a bicycle rider and flips out about it, places his shoe upon a fire-hydrant and cleans it with a toothbrush.

These Nike Air Jordan 4 IV Retro Sneakers feature the classic and OG White/Black-Tech Grey colourway.
