The Air Jordan 4 “Lightning” made its debut back in 2006. Since then, it hasn’t been reissued. The sneaker, however, may be returning in August 2021 according to rumors. Although official images of the 2021 variant haven’t been unveiled, the forthcoming silhouette will feature a color scheme of “Tour Yellow-Multi-Color/Dark Blue Grey.”

The shoe’s uppers are predominantly swathed in the bright yellow hue alongside grey and black hits throughout. White midsoles bring balance to the overall design execution. Of course, you can’t forget about the signature AJ4 details such as the mesh overlay, profile flaps and Jumpman logos on the heel to boot.

The Air Jordan 4 “Lighting” is rumored to release in August 2021 at Nike stockists. Stay tuned for more information.

Elsewhere in footwear, HOKA ONE ONE adds the TenNine’s unorthodox heel on the Hike GTX.
