The Legacy Returns
The Air Jordan 4 "Reimagined Bred"
Reimagined Details
This 2024 version features surprising changes that set the "Reimagined" apart:
- Aged midsole with faux oxidation effect for instant vintage appeal
- 3M-loaded mesh panels enhanced for durability
- Premium leather upper with visible tumbled texture
- Reconstructed toe box shape for authentic 80s basketball silhouette
- Vintage-style Nike Air branding on heel and insole
"The 'Bred' 4 represents MJ's take-no-prisoners attitude in 1989. This 'Reimagined' version captures that intensity while letting the shoe show its history."
- Tinker Hatfield, AJ4 Original Designer
Why This Drop Matters
Unlike typical retro releases, the "Reimainged" series by Jordan Brand takes archival designs and reinterprets them through contemporary techniques while emphasizing:
- Aged aesthetics without artificial wear
- 1980s construction methods with 2020s precision
- Graded tones mimicking original dyes fading exactly where actual Breds show wear
- Chicago Bulls nuances like subtler piping where MJ preferred reduced restriction
Expect unprecedented demand:
