Air Jordan 4 Retro “Lightning”

Colorway: Tour Yellow/White-Dark Blue Grey Style #: CT8527-700 Release Date: 08/28/2021 Price: $220

The colorway, which has been dormant since its 2006 release, but is coming back after 15 years in the vault. The return lines up with Jordan Brand’s commitment to bringing an entire slate of Air Jordan 4s starting with the “Fire Red” in 2020 all the way to 2021. While confirmation is still up in the air for the “Lightning” release, our hopes are high this time around.

After dropping earlier this past August, the Air Jordan 4 Retro “Lightning” is set to restock on the SNKRS app, sometime this week of November 21-November 27. So make sure your notifications are on, and keep it locked in at Nice Kicks and our  sneaker release dates  page for more information on  Air Jordan release dates .

Be sure to download out the newly launched app to stay updated on the latest releases while on the go.

• Rev up your rotation with the Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Tour Yellow’

If you were to quickly name the top five things Michael Jordan loved more than anything, what would make the list?

Basketball; winning; his mom; golf; gambling; cigars — any combination of those probably covers it.

But one thing that slips under the radar on MJ’s list of passions is motorsports.

This might not come as such a huge surprise in 2021, given His Airness now owns a NASCAR team with Bubba Wallace and Denny Hamlin at the wheel, but racing has always been one of Jordan’s interests.

According to the official Jordan Brand blog, MJ even agreed to stop riding motorcycles when he signed his first NBA contract , such was his love for the sport.

His NASCAR team isn’t his first foray into ownership: between 2004 and 2014, the iconic Jumpman logo was plastered on the racing bikes of riders on Team Jordan.

Automotive inspiration runs deep in the Jordan sneaker line, too. We all remember the Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Motorsport’ release from 2017, but did you know the famed “Thunder and Lightning” pack from 2006 was also a tribute to Team Jordan racing?

The “Lightning” colorway — an Air Jordan 4 retro heavy on the yellow — is now considered a grail for many, given it hasn’t been seen since. Well, not until now anyway.

The Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Tour Yellow,’ dropping on 8/28, brings back that long-awaited bright lightning-esque shade after a decade and a half of waiting.

Dressed in full-grain nubuck leather, the ‘Tour Yellow’ is the second release we’ve seen this month with a bright yellow look.

The 2021 cousin of the “Lightning” pair features black tooling, a white midsole and Dark Blue Grey accents to complete the picture.

Rev up your rotation when the Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Tour Yellow’ releases in Men’s and Kids’ sizing on 8/28 at jdsports.com and in stores. Keep it locked on @jdsportsus for updated reservation info.

Jordan Brand is reissuing a beloved Air Jordan 4 style this week.

The sportswear brand confirmed via the Nike SNKRS app that the highly anticipated Air Jordan 4 “Tour Yellow” will hit shelves this week in sizing for the entire family.

This iteration of Michael Jordan’s popular signature basketball shoe debuted in 2006 and is the first time the style is releasing since the initial drop. The shoe is often referred to as the “Lightning” colorway due to its similarities to its electrical counterpart. The upper features a bold yellow nubuck leather upper and is contrasted by gray and black eyelets. Adding to the look is a metallic silver Jumpman branding on the heel, a white midsole, and a gray outsole.

The Air Jordan 4 “Tour Yellow” will be released this Saturday on the SNKRS app at 10 a.m. ET and at select Jordan Brand retailers. The adults’ version of the shoe will retail for $220. In addition, the style will be available in big kids’ sizing ($150), little kids’ sizing ($80) and toddler sizing ($60).

History of the Air Jordan 4

On May 7, 1989, the world witnessed "The Shot", an impossible feat for anyone other than His Airness. Michael Jordan pulled off this legendary buzzer-beater with assistance from his Black Cement Air Jordan 4s. It was MJ's fifth year in the league and a brilliant display of his growing dominance as a superstar.

The same could be said for Tinker Hatfield, the lead designer for the Air Jordan line. After the tremendous success of the Air Jordan 3, Hatfield had his work cut out for him. Coming on the heels of one of the most popular sneaker designs ever, did he dare mess with the formula? He opted to keep the overall design similar to its predecessor but boosted the performance features.

If the Air Jordan 3 saved Nike's partnership with Jordan, the Air Jordan 4 cemented it—primarily due to the inspired design efforts of Hatfield.

Jordan 4 Retro LS Tour Yellow 2006

The Jordan 4 Retro LS Tour Yellow features a White leather upper with Black and Grey lace wings. A Yellow and Black speckled midsole adds a splash of color to the shoe's colorway. The Jumpman logos on the outsoles and tongue are yellow, too. Black-and-White soles and an air window complete the aesthetic. Polyurethane midsoles enclose the Zoom Air units to help absorb impact and improve responsiveness. A herringbone traction pattern is on the outsoles to increase their multidirectional grip.
