The 2021 edition of the Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Lightning’ resurrects a highly coveted colorway that originally launched in 2006 alongside an accompanying ‘Thunder’ colorway, both of which were inspired by Michael Jordan’s Motorsports team. A bright yellow hue woods the nubuck upper, contrasted by black netting and dark grey structural wings. Matching grey accents land on the woven tongue tag, interior tongue and Jumpman branding at the heel. A white PU midsole, enhanced with visible Air sole cushioning, rides on a dark grey herringbone rubber outsole.
