With newly designed lifestyle models like the Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low and Jordan TWO TREY, it’s clear that Jordan Brand is still dipping into retro pot to inform modern footwear products. With its combination of Air Max technology and the Tinker era, the Jordan Max Aura line’s been going strong for three installments already, with a fourth on the way.
Seen here via official images is the Jordan Max Aura 4 in a monochromatic “Black Cat” colorway. Like its predecessors, the Max Aura looks towards retro models from the 80s and 90s; for example, the Max Aura 2 took clear DNA from the Air Jordan 11, while the Max Aura 3 looked towards the Air Jordan 9. The Max Aura 4 reflects the padded upper from the Air Jordan 13, while a “Flight” logo on the tongue suggests the earlier part of the 1990s decade. A newly designed midsole with a split Air Max unit continues the visible Air tradition. There aren’t exactly for the Jordan purists, but there’s quite obviously a market for lower priced items that simply feature the Jumpman emblem.
The Jordan Max Aura 4 “Black Cat” is expected to release at retailers globally for $125; full family sizes are expected, as are a variety of other predicted colorways within the Jordan family.
