Originally released in 1989, Air Jordan 4s were the first Jordan sneakers to enjoy a global market release. It was featured in the movie “Do the Right Thing” which grew its popularity. This and the increased availability of the shoe made this release push Jordans further from basketball wear into streetwear.
The most unique material incorporated in the Jordan 4 is the mesh component. Mesh allows for breathability in your shoes, especially helpful for athletic use. Additionally, Air Jordan 4s often feature nubuck, a type of sanded leather for a specific vintage feel. Nubuck is a unique material which was first introduced via Jordan 4s. With this said, not all Jordan 4s include nubuck. There are also plastic features throughout each sneaker. Most models incorporate leather or suede and the classic rubber sole. This interesting blend of materials make the AJ4s a unique textured experience for sneaker-wearers.
