For sneakerheads, the wait is over. A coveted original colorway is making a comeback – the Air Jordan 4 OG “Military Blue” returns in 2024, staying true to its 1989 form to celebrate its 35th anniversary.
This iconic release has been a fixture in Air Jordan 4 discussions for years, alongside rumors of the Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey” and Air Jordan 4 “Thunder” retro releases. With both those sneakers back on shelves, the “Military Blue” gets its turn, sure to excite a generation of fans.
The 2024 iteration stays refreshingly close to the original. Gone is the Jumpman heel badge seen in the 2006 and 2012 editions, replaced with the classic Nike Air branding that graced the 1989 release.
