The Jordan 4 Retro Red Thunder Brings Back Style
The Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro Red Thunder sneakers return with a red and black colorblock design.
Nike released the original Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder shoe in 2006. Due to the sneaker's popularity, the company re-released it in 2022 as the Jordan 4 Retro Red Thunder. This colorway uses a similar colorblock pattern as the Thunder on a classic Jordan 4 shoe.
The Jordan Retro 4 Red Thunder Features Bold Colors
The Air Jordan 4 Retro Red Thunder has all the style and comfort you would expect in a Jordan shoe. This mid top sneaker features a cushioned collar that sits just below the ankle. Black nubuck is the primary material on the upper. Red accents appear all over the shoe, including on the tongue, midsole, and side panels. Black mesh covers the red accents on the tongue and sides of the shoe.
The colorblock design continues on the shoe's sole. Red outsoles feature black accents. Like other Jordan 4 sneakers, this shoe shows off its Nike Air technology. Inside the midsole, you can see a visible Nike Air unit. The sole is primarily black with a pop of red near the toe. A white Jumpman logo stands out on the bottom of the shoe. The Jumpman logo also appears on the back of the heel and on the tongue.
Jordan 4: Popular with Celebrities and Influencers
The Jordan 4 became iconic when Michael Jordan wore it during the NBA Eastern Conference Finals in 1989. You may be familiar with the Jordan 4 because of this connection to Michael Jordan. The shoe also offers unique colorways featuring bright colors and materials. These sneakers are durable and comfortable thanks to the high-quality materials in their construction.
Michael Jordan wore the Air Jordan 4 Retro Red Thunder on the sidelines at a Hornets vs. Knicks game. Nike originally scheduled the shoe's release for Fall 2021, but delays pushed the shoe's release to January 2022. This colorblock style quickly caught the eye of sneaker fans. 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
One of the standout features of the Jordan Retro 4 Red Thunder is the visible Nike Air unit in the midsole. 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.
