The Air Jordan 4 "Thunder" is back.

Fans of the Air Jordan 4 have truly been blessed over these last few years. Overall, this is one of the best silhouettes that Nike has come out with. For those who don't know the history, this was Tinker Hatfield's second Jordan. Moreover, it was a follow-up to the Air Jordan 3, which is highly regarded as one of the best Jordans ever. The Jordan 4 also holds that distinction, and it is very easy to see why. This is an extremely sleek silhouette that can be paired with almost any sort of outfit.

Consequently, Jumpman is always looking to innovate with this shoe. Every single year, we get some awesome new colorways. Additionally, we even get some retros that pay homage to the past. Typically, these retros are a way to introduce fans to some of the OG colorways. However, we have seen quite a few retros for colorways that were released in the mid-2000s. These offerings are starting to get old, and the fans want them back. With the Air Jordan 4 "Thunder," that is certainly the case.

Yes, that's right, the Air Jordan 4 "Thunder" is coming back. The shoe originally dropped in 2006, and 17 years later, it is officially back. This comes as great news for the sneakerheads out there who could not get their hands on these the first time around. Firstly, the shoe is covered in smooth black suede. Secondly, the midsole and the upper have some yellow highlights throughout. Overall, this makes for an amazing look that is truly hard to beat.

If you are one of the people who never got these the first time, you will be able to grab them when they are released on May 13th. The price has been set at $210 USD which is expensive, although the standard for the Air Jodan 4 these days. No matter what, it is clear that this is going to be a big release. Numerous sizes will be available over at GOAT and Flight Club. Let us know what you think of these, down in the comments section below.
