Air Jordan 4 Retro OG "Rare Air" (TD)

The Air Jordan 4 Retro OG “Rare Air” in small TD sizes symbolizes difficult beginnings and the path to (sneaker) legend status. When the first Air Jordan saw the light of day on the court, it was anything but perfect—the result of numerous prototypes and corrections. But it was precisely this imperfection that made it an icon. This spirit lives on in this new interpretation of the Air Jordan 4. Jordan's “Rare Air” series celebrates designs that were originally considered flawed – for example, with misplaced logos, variations in stitching, or atypical packaging. That's what makes it so special: a sneaker that shows that perfection often arises from imperfection. A mix of leather and suede meets a midsole with a yellowed, worn look and red and blue details – classic Jumpman colors. Additional details such as the NIKE Air logo on the heel, a “Rare Air” insole, and a replaceable patch on the tongue pay homage to history. Incidentally, the “Jordan Rare Air” lettering on the Velcro fastener is gold instead of white on only 25 percent of the total production run of the sneaker. This small but subtle difference evokes memories of the exclusive models from the 2000s and 2010s.
