The Latest Air Jordan 4020 Takes on the Laser-Printed Stealth Colorway

The Air Jordan 40 is one of the major sneaker success stories of this NBA season. After going largely unnoticed for most of the late 30s models, the Air Jordan 40 restored the feeling of new numbered Mikes, in large part thanks to the repeated self-referential hybrid drops and its frequent appearances on stars like Paolo Banchero and Bam Adebayo.

The latest Air Jordan 40 colorway to get the hybrid treatment is another 4020, this time taking on the black patent and laser accents of the Jordan 20 Stealth on a PE for the Jordan Brand Classic. Straight from 2005, the Jordan 20 Stealth was one of the model’s OG drops that marked Tinker Hatfield’s return to the Jordan design team.

On the Air Jordan 4020 Stealth, the Jumpman brings back the laser-etched graphic strap across the forefoot, but adds a bit of patent leather shine to the black toe for a Y2K retro look. The heel adds premium black leather, and the sockliner brings in a bit of red, just like the OG 20 colorway.

The Air Jordan 4020 Stealth Jordan Brand Classic PE has only been previewed in one quick video, but with this colorway going exclusively to the players at the Jordan Brand Classic, videos will likely be the only time you ever see this pair.
