Really, was there ever any question what sneaker would be taking out the top honours this week? After years of praying and pleading, the OG Air Jordan IV \u2018Black\/Cement\u2019 (or \u2018Bred\u2019 as Jordan Brand<\/a><\/strong> are calling it this time around) is finally back \u2013 and this latest retro well and truly lives up to the hype!<\/p>\n

\"Air Air Jordan IV<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Air Jordan 4 Retro has returned to its original glory<\/h2>\n

Now, I doubt you need us to tell you what makes this Jordan so significant, but here\u2019s a little refresher, just in case. Released in 1989 and designed by design maestro Tinker Hatfield<\/strong><\/a>, the Air Jordan IV expanded upon the concept of Visible Air set by its predecessor, the Air Jordan III. It ditched the IIIs signature \u2018elephant\u2019 print and introduced sidewall netting, stitched \u2018Flight\u2019 tongue tags and, perhaps it\u2019s most defining features, \u2018wings\u2019. The AJIV was a star, both on and off the court. The \u2018Black Cement\u2019 IVs were on MJ\u2019s feet when he was famously captured taking \u2018The Shot\u2019 up against the Cavs and their white counterpart served as the catalyst behind one of the most memorable scenes in Spike Lee\u2019s Do the Right Thing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Like all legendary Jays, the \u2018Black\/Cement\u2019 IVs have seen a number of retros over the years, the last of which was all the way back in 2012. However, unlike other classics \u2013 such as the \u2018Bred\u2019 Is, \u2018Black\/Cement\u2019 IIIs and \u2018Infrared\u2019 VIs \u2013 a proper \u2018Nike<\/a><\/strong> Air\u2019 branded retro of the most beloved of all IVs has sorely been missing since the last millennium. The last time we saw the \u2018Black\/Cement\u2019 IV don the Swoosh was all the way back in 1999… and those pairs passed their use-by date many years ago!<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s retro brings back the dark horse of the Air Jordan IV lineup in near-perfect fashion. As with almost any retro, there are some slight differences from the original, though almost all of which you\u2019d be hard-pressed to notice without an \u201889 OG in hand. Still, there\u2019s no denying that this is the most accurate retro of the \u2018Black\/Cement\u2019 that Jordan Brand have delivered since 1999 and is the only version that\u2019s still wearable to feature the original \u2018Nike Air\u2019 branding. These are an absolute must-cop.<\/p>\n

The Air Jordan IV \u2018Bred\u2019 is available right now \u2013 both in store and our jordan online store<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 but you better act fast if you want to secure these for your collection. Who knows, it might be another 20 years before we get a retro this good again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
