Nike Unveils a Frozen Moments Colorway of the Air Jordan 4

Nike unveils a new tonal iteration of the classic Air Jordan 4 sneaker model with the Frozen Moments colorway palette to join the roster. The shoes retain most of the design elements and deliver a retro feel, informed by chrome details throughout the upper for a unique visual touch.

The shoes have an overall mixed material construction throughout the upper with both leather and suede in the tones of Light Iron Ore and Neutral Grey. The forefoot has white tonal laces to secure the foot in place and add a touch of tonal contrast. The highlighting feature of the new model is the chrome Wings that detail the sneaker. It is set to launch officially on August 26th.
