Jordan Brand releases a new slew of colorway palettes and the latest to join the expansive roster is the Zen Master colorway that details the signature Air Jordan 4 sneaker model this season. The official images showcase the shoe designed with a light tonal palette creating tie-dye patterns all throughout the upper.
It is inspired by Phil Jackson, who was Michael Jordan's former coach, collecting up to 11 championship rings during his impressive career. The new shoe is a symbol of his 'zen' mentality and calm demeanor that decorates the entire canvas base layer of the shoe. It is then detailed with wings and heel motif that is made using a clear aesthetic and marked with Bright Crimson by the tongue logos.
