The Air Jordan 4’s been around for 35 years, but the Air Jordan 4 RM is the first time that the silhouette’s been given a low-top makeover. Decked out in ‘Pro Green’ suede (the same shade of green as the fence surrounding his granny’s yard), it’s fitted with a rubber caging system that’s been designed specifically for this model. Cotton laces tie everything together, and the shoe sits on top of a blacked-out midsole that’s infused with Air tech for a bit more comfort and bounce.
A white Swoosh is stitched along the lateral toe, and around the heel, the classic “Nike Air” logo has been replaced with “Bike Air” as a fun nod to Sylvester’s BMX roots. Co-branded detailing hits the insoles, and all of it comes packed in an exclusive shoebox with a bunch of lovely stickers and photographs of Sylvester as a kid.
The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 RM ‘Grandma’s Driveway’ is set to drop on July 20 via Nike, the SNKRS app, and select stockists across the globe for $150. Expect resale prices to be double (or even triple) this.
