Michael Jordan’s Iconic Air Jordan 4s Return After Four Years

Michael Jordan’s iconic sneaker line continues to captivate fans. The Air Jordan 4 Retro “Bred,” also known as “Black Cement,” is set to make a notable return in 2026. This much-anticipated reissue has garnered attention from sneaker enthusiasts and collectors alike.

According to sources such as @zsneakerheadz and Sneaker Market Romania, the Air Jordan 4 Retro “Bred” is slated for a holiday release in 2026. This version will feature original Nike Air branding and a refined silhouette, akin to the first model that debuted in 1989.

Historical Significance

The Black/Cement Grey/Summit White/Fire Red color scheme is part of the original four Air Jordan 4 colorways. This Chicago Bulls-inspired design has maintained its status as one of the most sought-after styles among sneaker fans.
