How The Air Jordan 4 Became a Cultural Icon
The Air Jordan IV is one of the most popular sneakers of all time. There are sneakerheads who solely focus on collection Jordan 4s. It’s extremely sought after in the sneaker world. The design of the Air Jordan 4 is truly timeless. Despite being designed in 1989, it looks like the sneaker was just released yesterday. In this video we are going to be taking a closer look at the history behind the Air Jordan 4 and how it became a cultural icon.

I believe Jordan’s started using the jumpman on the heel when Jordan became its own brand and were trying to set themself apart from Nike as being their own thing. I don’t mind a jumpman on the heel, but the Nike air really gives it that special OG feel

White Cement 4s are my favorite sneakers, EVER. I got a pair of the 2016 White Cement 4s for Christmas in 2019. Besides being my favorite colorway of my favorite silhouette, my particular pair holds a lot of meaning for me personally. On the inside of each shoe, you'll see a label that has among other things, production dates. On both shoes, the last production date was the date I survived a car crash almost 5 years ago.
Jordan 4’s are my favorite Jordan model of all time. Military blue 4’s from 06’ were my first ever pair of jordans, I think I was in 5th grade at the time. Special shoe to me fr.

I remember when I was in college I found a Fire Red 4's in a shop for 40 bucks (2000 pesos in the Philippines). It was the first shoe that I saved money for and the first one that I bought with my own money. I literally thrashed it until the stitching in the toe box separated and the midsole crumbled. It was one of my shoes that I regrettably thrashed because years later after college, I found out that Air Jordan 4's with a Nike Air back tab are valuable. If I know earlier I would have taken care of it Yes, it had a Nike Air back tab and it cost just 40 bucks

The 4s are one of my favorite sneakers. Theyre crazy comfortable on and off the court. The only drawback is they tend to be a hot shoe so not really a good summer shoe in 90+ weather. Good luck getting your hands on a pair post COVID as they typically sell out in minutes on-line

Own both color renditions of the AJ4s, with jumpman and Nike Air logos on the heels. But the white cement 4s will always be that holy grail for me as I remember being a high school freshman kid back in 89’ watching a Wheaties commercial with what appeared to be a basketball in background on an indoor court, as the camera is low to the floor panning through a line up of all the Wheaties cereal boxes that donned iconic sports legends from Babe Ruth, Bob Richards to Bruce Jenner, sorry meant Kaitlin to Pete Rose, Mary Lou Retton, Chris Evert, suddenly appearing in the background was Mike bouncing the ball up close until the camera passes Walter Payton on a box, until you got to a blank Wheaties box with now showing a snippet peak of the right foot of an Air jordan we weren’t familiar with as Mike stops bouncing and then slams the basketball to the floor and throwing his left foot up on to the basketball while quickly showing that it was possibly the New Air jordan 4 (later Revealed in an Air Jordan 4 commercial) and picking up the Wheaties cereal box flipping over for another reveal of his jumpman profile on the box was so iconic to me as what really started my love and collection for sneakers.

I've honestly never been the biggest fan of most J's, 4s in particular were one pair I never liked too much. I was a skater back in the day so it wasn't even that I didn't like bulkier shoes. As soon as I saw the Union 4s the day they leaked they instantly reminded me of my old skate shoes that I'd wear into the ground. Everything from the new paneling to the short "puffy" tongue just hit all the right nostalgia notes. I know Chris Gibbs wasn't going for that but it still spoke to me as if that was the inspiration. I ended up copping on Union's site, I was so scared I'd miss out to people that spent the last few weeks shit talking so I was so stoked to get mine.
4s are definitely one of my favorites. Look good and feel good.

The IV is my favorite Jordan. I'm old. I was 10 when they came out, and I lived in NC. Jordan winning the 84 Championship for UNC is one of my earliest memories. So, of course, I want that Nike Air on the back. I was too poor to get them as a kid. I got the 2012 reissue, and wore them into the ground, but every time I wore them, I wanted to see that big, badass Nike Air logo on the back.. Prolly gonna have to cop these, just to finally feel like 1989 me would be impressed with adult me.
