When rumors circulated in 2022 that Nike SB was linking back up with Jordan Brand to revamp the Air Jordan 4 for skate, people immediately became hyped. After seeing both Eric Koston and Paul Rodriguez skate in a Black Cat wear test sample, the excitement continued to rise. While that pair did not release, we did get the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Retro Pine Green in March 2023.
This drop was one of (if not) the best sneaker release of the year. It is a great sneaker, and Nike SB revamped the AJ 4, making iterations that better fit a skater while improving on comfort. The result saw Jordan Brand take the mold for the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 and use it on all future silhouette releases, starting with the Bred Reimagined release.
While rumors quickly began to circulate that the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Retro would be released in various colorways following the success of the Pine Green pair, none of this came to fruition in 2023. A Blue Sapphire pair, the Black Cat wear test sample, and a few unknown colorways were all alluded to. However, none were released. Many thought that the collaboration between Nike SB and Jordan Brand ended when JB decided to use the SB AJ 4 as the base for all Jordan 4 releases in the future. Luckily, that is not the case!
Sole Retriever can confirm that Nike SB and Jordan Brand will release an all-new Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Retro colorway for Spring 2025! This pair comes in Summit White Navy as part of Jordan Brand's Spring 2025 lineup. The Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Retro Summit White Navy sports a summit white-based premium leather upper, highlighted by a suede toe wrap in neutral grey, identical in design to its Pine Green predecessor.
Moving on, navy blue has replaced pine green on the plastic eyelets, back heel tab, and midsole. The Jumpman logo on the tongue and insoles stays red, with Nike SB branding in white prominently featured on the back heel. A white sole with Zoom Air cushioning and hits of gum rubber on the toe and heel for better grip complete the look of this Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Retro SP.
The Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 Retro Summit White Navy will release March 18, 2025, through select skateshops online and in-store. A wider release via Nike SNKRS will take place at a later date. Available in men's sizing, retail is set at $225. Be sure to download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay informed about this release and other exciting news in the sneaker and streetwear world.
