Created in collaboration with A Ma Maniere, the "Phantom" colorway of the Air Jordan 4 is clothed in Phantom, Metallic Pewter, Violet Ore, Light Iron Ore, Muslin, and Burgundy Crush hues.

Even though there are no photographs that have been made public, it has been suggested that this Air Jordan 4 will come in a leather construction and feature the Phantom coloration. Violet ore is used as a contrasting hue on the wing eyelets, heel tabs, and areas of the midsole, while sophisticated grey suede is used for the toe box.

Large logos that provide an element of branding, such as those from Nike Air and A Ma Maniere, can also be seen on the pair. These shoes will come with additional lace sets, all packaged in a box that has been uniquely designed and co-branded.

The Air Jordan 4 is one of Jordan Brand's best-selling sneaker offerings, right up there with the original Air Jordan 1. The extensive history of this Tinker Hatfield design is detailed on the Jordan Brand website. It states:

“Proving his preeminent athletic prowess and distinctive style, Jordan closed the 1988/89 season with one of the game's most notable plays. With 6 seconds left in game 5 against Cleveland, MJ sinks 'the shot,' a dexterous, buzzer-beating move that continued to propel MJ along on his awe-inspiring journey.

It continues:

“The Air Jordan IV was the first global market release of the franchise. Another first, the shoe, appeared in Spike Lee's film Do the Right Thing, transcending the game of basketball to make a significant impact on pop culture. All eyes were on Jordan as he continued to rise.”

Those interested in buying these A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 4 shoes are encouraged to sign up on Nike’s site or install the SNKRS app for timely alerts on their launch.

This partnership is certain to make waves in the fashion and footwear communities thanks to its special women's sizing and additional size selections.
