Nigel Sylvester's Air Jordan 4 comes with notable changes
Nigel Sylvester, a professional BMX player, is mostly renowned for his content creation. What makes him an outstanding BMX athlete is his progressive riding style while he has showcased his creative prowess through the collaboration with Nike.
The collaboration between Nigel and Nike began in 2018 with an iteration of Air Jordan 1, while the relationship between the two has been quite close since 2000. The BMX athlete was seen in a customized Nike Dunk high for a while.
In March, Nigel uploaded a video showcasing his riding skills, where he wore the Air Jordan 4 RM SP. With the caption " Loading", the athlete hinted at his upcoming sneakers in dark color.
The new iteration of Air Jordan 4 comes with several changes. The most notable changes can be seen on the upper, discarding the traditional settings. It adds a TPU frame in the place of the wings while the flexible cages are discontinued.
The upper is constructed with suede, accented in green. The sole unit is covered in black where the white panel displays the air unit. In the overall green color palette, the sneakers incorporate metallic platinum swoosh at the toe section.
