Jordan Brand and J Balvin have officially revealed the Air Jordan 4 “Amazonas”, moving their ongoing partnership to the fourth signature silhouette following previous Air Jordan 1, 2, and 3 projects. The new colorway draws direct inspiration from the wildlife and natural surroundings of the Amazon region.

The construction is anchored by a yellow croc-textured leather upper, creating a glossy finish from the toe box through to the heel. To complement the textured base, matching yellow mesh, TPU wings, laces, and midsoles are implemented to keep the color blocking cohesive. The reptile pattern specifically references yellow crocodiles found in the Amazon.

Custom details appear throughout the silhouette, including asymmetrical lace dubraes that feature “Just Do It” on one shoe and “Solo Hazlo” on the other. Co-branded details highlight the pair, with J Balvin and Jumpman logos positioned on the heels alongside debossed accents worked into the upper.

The J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 “Amazonas” releases first through J Balvin’s website on September 28, 2026, followed by a wider global launch on October 2 for $225 USD.
