Jordan Brand introduces a Military Black color palette to its Air Jordan 4 sneaker model for a muted and crisp tonal iteration this season. This grayscale update is versatile in design and has a white base foundation throughout the leather side panels.
It continues on at the mid-foot netting details and the lower throat accents, finishing off with the crisp laces. Light gray continues accenting the cages and the mudguards as black add a more stark contrast by the eyelets, the Jumpman branding by the tongue, underlaying details, and the heel counters. Notably, the shoes also come in a Flight logo branding in black and white speckles to celebrate the new Military Black tonal palette.
