In this edition of KSM we feature one of the all time greatest sneakers to ever be created, the Air Jordan IV. Considered by many to be the BEST Air Jordan in the series, Tinker once again created another iconic shoe to be worn by the greatest of all time. The Air Jordan IV which was first released back in 1989 sported mesh like panels on the upper and unique eyelets which would allow ballers to lace them up in unique fashion. The sneaker featured a similar design to that of the AJ III but was intended to be used more than admired.The true beauty of these sneakers are not the fact that they're a great sneaker to play basketball in but rather they are a shoe that truly transcends past the hardwood. These are probably one of the nicest looking casual shoes to ever be worn. Seen on many celebs from Mos Def to the Game, these sneakers look good no matter what you pair them up with. These shoes can also thank Spike for their popularity as they were featured in Spike's infamous movie, Do The Right Thing and a slew of Mars Ads. Most recently the most popular colourway of this model, the BREDs were re-released with the Air Jordan XIX in the Jordan Collezione pack.
To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of these sneakers initially. I'm more of an Air Jordan III fan but I cannot deny the beauty of these sneakers when you see them in person. I got my first pair of these a couple years back when I got a pair of the "Mars" edition AJ IV. I still rock them on the regular but if you remember my trip to Tokyo a month ago, I picked up a DS pair of the '99 retros which still feature the Nike Air on the back. If you don't have a pair of these bad boys you really need to step your game up. These are a staple in any sneakerhead's collection and if you got 330USD to spare, you can still get your pair @ PYS.
Trust me on this, DON'T sleep on these!
