  Jordan Brand’s betting that one of its biggest sneakers this year will be a retro of a shoe that’s traditionally been an alright sneaker for the brand. The  Air Jordan 4  is right now a darling of Jordan Brand. Having burned through the Air Jordan 1, the 4 has taken the place as the brand’s flavor of the moment. This year is seeing the  “Military Blue” Air Jordan 4  return in its true original form for the first ever, with everything except its name. The Air Jordan 4 was first released in 1989. It was fresh off the heels of the Air Jordan 3, which saw Michael Jordan’s signature line get reinvented. The Air Jordan 1 was a revolutionary sneaker, but the line took a dip with the Air Jordan 2.

  We're almost two years removed from the release of  Nina Chanel Abney's   Air Jordan 2  collection, and now the New York-based artist has hinted at a new sneaker project. Abney shared a teaser image this week of a detached  Air Jordan 3  heel tab, which confirms the silhouette for her next Jordan collab. Leaked info for the sneaker initially surfaced on X last month when  @Brandon1an  revealed that a Nina Chanel Abney x Air Jordan 3 collab is arriving in June. The Bicoastal/Black/Malachite/Fossil color scheme also matches what was shared by Abney, as the soft green hits appear on the Jordan 3 heel tab's "Nike Air" branding. The font on the heel logo has also been altered, so it's possible that other parts of the shoe will feature modifications of some sort. At the time of publication, the purported Nina Chanel Abney x Air Jordan 3 collab has yet to be announced by either of the parties involved. Check back soon for official updates in the coming months.
