The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” is coming back for Black Friday 2026 and honest

Style code IX8180-001. Retail is $230. The 2026 version features Nike Air branding on the heel instead of the Jumpman logo, which is what most collectors want. Jordan Brand has been going back to Nike Air on the 4s and people have responded positively every single time.

The Bred 4 is one of the four original Air Jordan 4 colorways from 1989. Michael Jordan wore this pair during the 1989 NBA All-Star Game where he dropped 28 points. The shoe has been retroed in 1999, 2008, 2012, 2019, and 2024 in Reimagined form. Each release has been a major event.

What makes this release different is the updated shape. Jordan Brand has been refining the AJ4 mold over the past few releases and the 2026 version is supposed to be closer to the original 1989 shape than any retro since the 1999 pair. For collectors who care about accuracy, that is a big deal.

The Black/Fire Red/Cement Grey/White colorway is the most recognizable AJ4. It is the shoe people think of when they think of the Air Jordan 4. Every other colorway is a variation on this base. That is how important this shoe is to the lineage.
