AIR JORDAN 4 RETRO - 'FIRE RED'
One of the most anticipated releases of 2020 is also part of the Jordan Brand Holiday 2020 lineup, the Air Jordan 4 OG Fire Red. A detailed bring back of a legendary Air Jordan that debuted in February 1989, the 2020 iteration of the “Fire Red” marks its third retro release following in the footsteps of 2006’s special Mars Blackmon edition and 2012’s Jumpman adorned style and is the most true to the original revival yet thanks to one key detail: a large Nike Air hit on the heel. The shoe comes with a Nike Air hang tag and OG packaging and releases in full family sizing.
Apart from the heel embellishment, the “Fire Red” serves up a high heat colour scheme that mixes a white leather base with potent black and red accents alike. On the top half, black appears under the white mesh netting on the quarter panel and throat, dresses the heel tab and inner tongue patch and coats the signature “Wings.” Often working in tandem with the black pieces, red graces the plastic eye stays above the “wings” and towards the toe box while also hitting the sock liner, tongue liner and the aforementioned Nike Air badge on the rear. White, red and black are all brought together on the large fabric tongue tag and Air Max-equipped midsole, while a white, red and grey outsole with one final Nike Air hit rounds off the look. The “Fire Red” also arrives with a large orange Nike Air hang tag.
