Matt Varga “Black Cat” fever is in hibernation for the time being, one of two defining end-of-year releases alongside the Gamma 11s. However, even if you’re left to secondary channels to pick up the progenitor of that style, Jordan Brand is ensuring there’s way to get close elsewhere in the catalog.
Throughout its year-plus on the shelves, the Air Jordan 4 RM hasn’t shied away from adapting the most iconic looks from its parent model or from the Jordan Brand archive as a whole. Thus, it’s no shock that a black-heavy edition is coming to light, nor is the “Varsity Red” detailing that connects to MJ’s Chicago playing days. What does mark an unexpected aspect is the icy traction in the back half of the outsole, not typically a touch associated with the AJ4 but one that looks clean enough in this application.
The Air Jordan 4 RM “Black/Varsity Red” doesn’t have a concrete release date, but you’ll likely start seeing this pair on Nike.com and at partnering stockists as we enter the new year. The standard $155 retail price is confirmed. Watch over this drop via our Jordan Release Dates page if this pair has caught your eye.
