The Air Jordan 4 Retro colorway was originally released in 1999, Complex recalled. The first installment of the reissued Jordan Brand boasts "a super premium tumbled leather that's highlighted by a coke white upper," with "shades of Midnight Navy and Legend Blue accents add a bold pop to the branding, midsole, and eyestays," the outlet described. It also displays the O.G. quality and artistic design which the Jordan Brand possesses.
Several fans of the Jordan Brand have complained about the drop in the quality of the Air Jordans, according to a report from GQ. The original style of the kicks was first seen in 1985, and GQ cited some people who said that "the leather, suede, and rubber have fallen off their game." Nike, however, stepped up when the company announced its "Remastered" lineup, which brings back some of their shoe brand's exceptional styles. This included "visibly high-quality fabrics and construction."
The Air Jordan IV "Columbia" (the "Legend Blue" as well) was the first to be released from the program. The shoe features premium white grain leather and soft blue accents, which resembles Tinker Hatfield's 1989 design, GQ noted.
