With the Air Jordan 4 now taking the throne as the most in-demand Air Jordan Retro model in production, Jordan Brand has decided to reintroduce the 1989 silhouette with updated design language. This Air Jordan 4 RM will exist alongside the standard Retro version, a shoe that is currently at the forefront of consumer attention via the Jordan 4 “Bred Reimagined” release during All-Star Weekend.

This Restomod (or modern restoration) of the Air Jordan 4 relies on the silhouette’s iconic midsole and fore-foot mudguard, but the remainder of the sneaker has undergone a complete overhaul. Gone are the plastic wing eyelets and mesh, and replacing it is an exterior cage that starts at the quarter of the lateral side and wraps around.

This “restoration” also includes a lowered height; it sits in between a low and mid, much like the recently introduced Jordan Spiz’ike Low. Based on the above image, a classic Nike Air logo sits at the heel, while the Jumpman Flight logo appears in nylon at the tongue.

According to @EldenMonitors, the Air Jordan 4 RM is slated to release this Holiday 2024 in full family sizes. At least four different colorways are in the works — one of which is the Black/Dark Grey pictured above.
