Andrew Rizzo What To Know About The Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo”
– This style was originally released in 2013.
– The sneaker is loosely tied to the Jordan 5 “Raging Bull” pack from 2009.
– The 2026 edition marks the sneaker’s first ever retro release.
– A release is expected for May 23rd, 2026.
We’ve spent plenty of time hyping up the lineup of 2025 Jordan releases, but 2026 is looking mighty strong (and expensive) as well. A few months ago, we reported that the Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” — arguably one of the best non-OG Jordan 4 styles of all time — is poised to return next year. Now, first-look images posted by @xcsnkr give us a glimpse of what to expect.
The only real difference between the 2013 and 2026 editions is the shape. Jordan Brand shifted to a more streamlined, less boxy silhouette following the release of the Jordan 4 SB “Pine Green” in 2023 — and albeit not the highest-quality first look image, that difference is already visible when compared to the 2013 edition (pictured below).
We’ll also note that the sneaker stays true to the original with a Jumpman logo on the heel instead of Nike Air, unlike the recent Undefeated 4s drop and the upcoming “Black Cat” 4s set for later this year. Both of those pairs also originally featured Jumpman branding.

As for the rest of the design, the sneaker mirrors the 2013 pair with a “Fire Red” nubuck upper, black heel and wings, and “Cement Grey” on the eyestays, tongue tag, lining, and outsole.
The Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” is closely tied to the Jordan 5 “Raging Bull” Pack from 2009, which featured a black colorway as well as a red colorway that closely borders the aesthetic of the 4s. 2026 marks the first-ever retro of the “Toro Bravo” 4s – a release many collectors have been eager to get for years.
Jordan Brand hasn’t gone public with a release date as of this writing, but early rumors point toward a May 23rd, 2026 launch. Stay tuned for updates, including in-hand first looks, official images, and more.
