In previous viewings of this upcoming Retro release, some of our readers have asked the question: “Where’s Mars?”. It’s understandable that the younger generation of budding Air Jordan fanatics would pose that thought, so we’ll take a quick moment to clear the air; the original Air Jordan IV in the “Fire Red” colorway did not feature the iconic Mars Blackmon logo on the heel, as that was just a special accent used for the 2006 Retro release. The original “Fire Red” colorway from ’89 (which Michael wore during the first half of the ’89-’90 season before debuting the Air Jordan V at the ’90 All-Star Game) makes its truest return yet, although “Fire Red” has been replaced with the omnipresent Varsity Red – but who can really tell? These aren’t set for a release until August of this year, so there’s plenty of time to mull it over (although you shouldn’t overlook this Saturday’s release of another OG A4), so check out the quick sampling of photos below and cop a pair right now from el-store on eBay.
