Some influencers paired the shoes with an all-black outfit to make the red pop. Other sneakerheads paired the shoes with high-end denim or camo pants.

Featuring Nike Air Technology with Responsive Cushioning

Shoes with Nike Air provide responsive, lightweight cushioning. The comfort begins with a durable pocket filled with pressurized air. Unlike traditional cushioning that adds weight, this pressurized air reduces the overall weight of the shoe.

As you walk, the pressurized air unit absorbs impact without losing shape. It’s designed to minimize the impact on your body. While some Jordan shoes hide the Nike Air unit, one of the distinguishing features of the Jordan 4 Retro Red Thunder is that you can see the Air unit.
