The released (or more accurately, ‘available’) version features a solid white midsole. How rare are these Rare Airs? There isn’t a finite number, but let’s just say you can count ‘em all with the fingers in one hand. The Undefeated x Air Jordan IV is always a head-turner whenever it makes a public appearance – it was the shoe of focus during CNBC’s recent investigative report on the world sneakers and it also caused a stirring debate when big-time sneakerhead Mayor rocked ‘em during the 2011 NBA All-Star Weekend.

The NBA All-Star Weekend is one of the biggest pro-sports draws of the year, and over the weekend, Houston-native and hip-hop artist Bun B as well as sneakerhead supreme Mayor were spotted enjoying the festivities. Bun B acted as host for some Q&A sessions with Jordan Brand athletes Ray Allen and Joe Johnson while wearing the Air Jordan XIII ‘Playoffs’ – a shoe that is set to release next week. Mayor, who graciously loaned some of his Nike Air Force 1 collection to the Nike Sportswear ‘Los Fearless’ Event, really heated things up by wearing the UNDFTD x Air Jordan IV – the olive-green uppered, orange laced rare Jordan gems that only a few get to be proud owners of. Last November, CNBC delved into the world of sneakers and the insane prices of sneakers, and the UNDFTD x Air Jordan IV just so happened to be one of the shoes in the spotlight, and it’s no surprise that one of the owners is also one of the biggest sneakerheads in the world. In any case, check out both Bun B and Mayor in their Jordans after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more All-Star Weekend updates!
