2025 Jordans are shaping up quite nicely, and if this latest rumor of the return of the Air Jordan 4 “White Cement” happens to be true, we’re in for one amazing 40th Anniversary year of drops. On June 12th, 2024, reputable source @zsneakerheadz confirmed that the White Cement Jordan 4s are indeed returning May 2025 with a true-to-the-original execution of materials and shape.
Jordan Brand is confidently moving forward with a number of key re-releases this year and next, with the Air Jordan 3 “Black/Cement”, Air Jordan 1 “Bred”, and the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” all appearing on the ledger. Now, according to houseofheat/Elden, the iconic Air Jordan 4 “White Cement” could be returning in 2025.
While nothing has been confirmed just yet, the official specifications of this upcoming Air Jordan 4 release reads quite close to the real thing. It shares the same product number as the recent Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue” and February’s Air Jordan 4 “Bred Reimagined”, while the Summit White/Fire Red/Tech Grey/Black is essentially what you’d expect to see in the 1989 classic. It’s unclear if these are a Retro offering or a Reimagined take, but we’re all thinking the same thing: don’t fix what’s isn’t broken.
The White Cement Jordan 4 last hit retail in 2016, ushering in the new(er) era of Nike Air logos on the heel of the shoe. For over a decade and a half, the updated Jumpman logo replaced the intended branding established by designer Tinker Hatfield. Prior to that 2016 release, the Air Jordan 4 “White/Cement” previously hit stores in 2012 with the Jumpman logo, a darker grey midsole, and arguably one of the worst toe-box shapes on an AJ4.
As stated, the original release of the Air Jordan 4 “White/Cement” arrived in 1989 and again as a first-time Retro release in 1999.
