Complex’s 10 Best Air Jordan IVs

Many expert sneakerheads went on record as saying that 2011 was filled with the most heat of any year in history, an assertion bolstered by the Air Jordan III’s 23rd anniversary bringing along with it three of the four original colorways. Jordan Brand kept the momentum going this year, bringing the Air Jordan IV back in a couple of palettes we haven’t seen since the heels read ‘NIKE AIR’. And as we approach the ‘White Cement’ Air Jordan 4 Retro release date tomorrow, Complex’s ‘desert island’ division has come up with a list of Fours nobody should do without under any circumstances. The top five are all OGs with the exception of what might be the most notorious Air Jordan Retro+ of all time, but what about the rest of the list? Populated with newer palettes, a top 10 including four originals means quite a few were forced out of contention; would you have added something like the groundbreaking ‘Laser’ AJIV or maybe the ‘Columbias’ that first gave us the Jumpman-insigned heel badge? Oreos or Cool Greys maybe? As with any “best of” list, it’s pretty subjective to personal tastes, so let us know what you think of Complex’s 10 selections and which omissions you would have liked to see crack the list.
Air Jordan IV ‘Eminem Encore’
Air Jordan IV ‘Black Cat’
Air Jordan IV ‘Thunder’
Air Jordan IV ‘Lightning’
Air Jordan IV ‘Motorsports’
Air Jordan IV ‘Military Blue’
Air Jordan IV ‘Fire Red’
Air Jordan IV ‘White/Cement’
Air Jordan IV ‘UNDFTD’
Air Jordan IV ‘Bred’
:There are actually ablseutoly quite a lot of details just like that to take into consideration. Thatb4s a amazing point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly you can find questions like the one you bring up where the most fundamental factor will certainly be working in honest fine faith. I donb4t know if finest practices have emerged around things just like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

i hate complex magazine man. who cares sole is so much more accurate.. what about the oreo. tours?
10 black cat 9 cool grey 8 motorsport 7 thunder 6 tour yellow 5 undftd 4 oreo 3 eminem 2 white CEMENT 1 OG fire red i bet you hate my list..
Undefeated 4'a should be number 1 over these all in my opinion. I would swoop in like an ice cream bandit for those.
I got that white cement retro four for a sneaker cake. Too bad nobody but me got some. It's just ima fat slob
I was thinking the same thing! Blackcats look like dogsh#t Raise up them Dorenbecher 4s
happy birthday michael jordan i love you home boy. We had a good six years together with those championships "I WON". you are overrated and i hate that people think youre better than me, when I was doing ALL the work for you. but anyway happy bday bro!
Who cares you are overrated so much. You couldn't even create your own shot. Scottie had to do all the work
what i meant to say was that I wish I could afford any of these shoes. Unfortunatly i just dont make no bread. sorry sneakernews
All of these are pretty dope. I woulda lik to have seen da black cat & thunder colorway this year. I would buy those 4 sure.
I'm still on suicide watch from years ago when I missed out on the Thunder & Lightning pack...I still need the Thunder IV
