Looks like 2012 might just be the year that Jordan makes his return to the Garden. Of course not the man himself but his sneaks rather, as the upcoming ‘Knicks’ colorway of the Air Jordan IV should be a popular choice for players and fans alike at Madison Square upon their impending release. So while they will no doubt be a favorite in the Empire Sate, the real question is how sneakerheads at large will judge them. To help you out with that, we’ve got some extra preview shots that deliver on the promise of continued OG-style packaging. Hit the jump for the full photos and let us know what you think of the Air Jordan IV ‘Knicks’. via MentalKicks

I've been seeing mixed comments on these.. more so leaning towards negative..either way I could give a finger in the middle I'm copping if they drop!

February 14th, 2012 at 9:10 pm

These would have been super nice with black soles instead of the orange. Now they just remind me of a GS cw.

I really want to know what the official name of this shoe is. A friend of mine that works for Nike's design team said this shoe was done in honor of the shot over Elho to beat the Cavs as it will be the 23rd anniversary of that shot. This is a CAVS colorway, not a damn Knicks colorway. No dis to NY but this shoe ain't 4 u!

I'm looking forward to these, I really like this retro plus colorway.

February 14th, 2012 at 10:44 pm
I think these would be great if J.Lin (17) would wear them. Such an awesome player!!!!
February 14th, 2012 at 10:46 pm

Your boy is right, its not for the Knicks. Its for the the shot on Ehlo! Cav killers
February 15th, 2012 at 12:25 am
I swear The New jordan Cw's are starting to scare me. Seems as if JB is biting The replica Jordan styles
February 15th, 2012 at 12:28 am
Hoover Crims everywhere r losing their minds. Lbvs.
February 15th, 2012 at 12:31 am
they are alright. easy pass though, not down to drop 172 on em
February 15th, 2012 at 12:53 am
LMAO! Knicks fans mad the shoe aint bout them. Y'all got the NFL Champs and Lin frying woking the worst teams in the NBA, can't y'all leave the lowly Cavs fans something to be proud of??? Why NYer's gotta be so greedy? They don't make shoes after a shot…soooo they don't call the Retro XIV the "Last Shots"?
February 15th, 2012 at 1:26 am
If it is for the Cavs its not celebrating them or giving them a nod more like hey you were another doormat for the Chicago Bulls during that era. So if Cavs fans want that they can have it.
February 15th, 2012 at 2:14 am
Exactly what I wuz thinkin, but I still like em tho, thinkin i'm gon get em.
February 15th, 2012 at 10:10 am
you best belive ill be copping these !
February 15th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
I'll probably buy these.
February 15th, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Agree, whatever is behind the shoe whether it is knicks or cavs inspired does't matter really. These joints look just like the crazy colored jordans you spot at the swap meets or flea markets
