  The  Undefeated x Air Jordan 4,  one of the rarest sneaker releases and the first-ever  Air Jordan collaboration,  is coming back this week. As the story of the design goes, the project references MA-1 flight jackets. But as it turns out, the olive and orange color scheme wasn't the boutique's only concept. In an  interview  with Complex's Matt Welty, Undefeated co-founder James Bond revealed that a version of the original 2005 Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 was a blue-based colorway inspired by the BlackBerry phone. Welty then asked about the ongoing rumors surrounding the collaboration and the coveted "Encore" Eminem x Air Jordan 4, in which Slim Shady supposedly saw the blue Undefeated Jordan 4 samples during a visit to Nike's World Headquarters in Portland, OR, and turned them into his own colorway.
