Matt Varga Jordan Brand truly does love to find a theme and stick to it. While well accepted upon its initial release, few would have been able to predict the legacy of the Air Jordan 4 “Thunder” when it first touched down in 2012, spawning an angry red flip in 2022 and a snowy counterpart in 2024. Now the family grows by one in 2026, as news of the Air Jordan 4 “Pink Thunder” hits the scene.
It’s understandable enough why Beaverton is so keen to revisit the electrifying concept, casting a wide net from the jump with a black foundation and relying on rather classic color blocking in the joined, off-color accents. Penning this sequel in pink makes for an equally suitable women’s exclusive. Notable in this update is the fact that initial mock-up images included Nike Air branding on the heel, a hot button issue as of late, as those precious about OG pairs have contended that only those shoes should receive the throwback touch. Nonetheless, the previous success of the original yellow and “Red” / “White” follow-ups should mean these carry high anticipation into their debut next year.
Again, the Air Jordan 4 “Pink Thunder” is expected to release for Holiday 2026, placing it between October and December. Retail pricing hasn’t been announced just yet. Check out our mock-up renderings below and keep our 2026 Jordan Release Dates hub within reach for more updates as they come.
