Jordan 4 OGFire Red (1989)

Product Description

The Original Nike Air Jordan 4 "Fire Red" earned its fame through countless battles on the feet of Michael Jordan. Whether MJ was battling the Pistons, Pacers, Hawks, or Cavaliers from his own conference or Magic Johnson and the Lakers from the Western Conference, the game was brutal back then, which made the things MJ did and the shoes he wore that much more special. The OG Fire Red 4 was one of just a handful of original colorways applied to the Tinker Hatfield designed sneaker. Unlike the Black Cement colorway, the white leather upper of the Fire Red Jordan 4 meant that accent colors like black and red contrasted strongly and showcased Tinker’s detail in design--like the mesh side panel, plastic "arms" that locked in the sides when laced--work even more. Of course the 1989 Air Jordan 4 Fire Red also featured the huge Nike Air branding on the heel, along with the Jumpman logo and scripted Flight logo on the extended tongue. But back in 1989, it was that visible Air cushioning unit in the heel that captured the attention of kids around the world. It seems like an afterthought today but seeing through the bottom of your shoes was magical back in 1989. The Original Nike Air Jordan IV "Fire Red" released in 1989 and has become on of the most sought after sneakers for collectors of "OG" Jordans.
