The sneaker community is buzzing with excitement as the Air Jordan 4 "Reimagined Bred" prepares for its highly anticipated release. This iconic colorway, previously witnessed in 1989, 1999, 2008, and 2012, returns with modern updates that maintain its classic appeal while refining its presentation.
What Makes The "Reimagined" Special
Unlike previous retro releases of the Black/Red Jordan 4, the 2024 "Reimagined" version features:
- Aged midsole with cream-colored accents for vintage appeal
- Premium white leather upper replacing the traditional black basic material
- Tumbled leather construction across the entire upper (not just limited areas)
- Authentic branding including original "Nike Air" heel tab
- Slightly altered molding of the rear heel cup for improved comfort
A Legacy Worth Collecting
First appearing in Michael Jordan's spectacular first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1989, the Black/Red colorway soon became history's first "banned" Jordan shoe when the NBA deemed it violated uniform codes by having insufficient white space.
What the league meant to punish became a sensation, creating one of the most storied Air Jordan colorways across all models.
Anticipated Release Details
Scheduled to hit major retailers and SNKRS app in Spring 2024, the Air Jordan 4 "Reimagined Bred" is expected to:
- Retail for $220-$230 USD
- Release in full family sizing
- Become 2024s most sought-after general release
Serious collectors should prepare for multiple waiting lists and raffles given the expected demand surpassing recent popular Jordan retros.
