Jordan 4 Retro

This Jordan 4 Retro comes in a dichromatic colorway brimming with style and elegance, while its use of alternative materials has seen it nicknamed Metallic Purple. A graceful white is one of its two tones, appearing first on the majority of the outsole, whose multidirectional herringbone grip lines offer excellent traction underfoot. These are joined by a smooth white section with a Jumpman in the shoe’s second hue – Court Purple – a toe cap containing embossed stars and another area of deep violet below the forefoot. White tones continue up into the midsole, coating all of its various components, while a see-through window in the heel displays the cushion of Air held within it.

Crisp white leather forms the overlays layered over the upper, including the forefoot wrap, the main panel that reaches from vamp to heel, the eyestay and the rear overlay. Premium white leather has also been used to construct the heel panel, whose center contains a shiny Court Purple Jumpman with intricate stitching outlining it. This accentuates the logo’s familiar shape. More lines of stitching can be found above it, and further up a pull tab fans out to make the shoe easier to take on and off.

Areas of white mesh allow the foot to breathe along the sidewalls and just behind the forefoot, while white laces thread through the eyelets on either side of the eyestay as well as the gleaming lace cages at its top and bottom. These don Court Purple tones, this time with a captivating luster created by the metal material used to make them. Meanwhile, the two uppermost cages connect to white leather structural wings that steady the sidewalls.

A soft white padding surrounds the ankles, extending down from the topline of the collar to the insole, which is Court Purple. A white Jumpman stands out against this richly colored background, with a similar effect on the underside of the tongue, which has a Court Purple exterior and a white Air Jordan label woven into it. On the other side of the tongue, the powerful branding effects continue in the form of a Jordan Flight patch. This feature has a white surface adorned with a Court Purple Jumpman and Metallic Silver text to conclude the sneaker with a final sparkling detail.
