Air Jordan Retro 4 Kaws
The Air Jordan Retro 4 Kaws is a highly coveted collaboration between the Jordan Brand and the artist Brian Donnelly, known professionally as KAWS.
Design and Aesthetics
The sneaker features a premium suede upper with KAWS’ signature “XX” branding. The colorway is predominantly “Cool Grey” with matching laces and midsole. Glow-in-the-dark outsoles add a unique touch. The heel tab and insole feature KAWS’ companion hands graphics.
Release and Availability
The initial release date was March 31, 2017. Due to its limited availability, it sold out almost immediately upon release. It was released in select stores and via raffle, making it highly sought-after.
Cultural Impact
This collaboration is notable for bridging the worlds of streetwear, high art, and sneaker culture. KAWS’ influence brought a new level of artistry and exclusivity to the Jordan brand.
