Nike Jordan is bringing the lightning. Yeah, that lightning. Hint: it struck in 2006. Yeah, we're getting the Jordan 4 "Lightning." The hype surrounding these kicks is as hyped as it's name. If you didn't get struck by the lightning in 2006 you will get another chance in 2021, and this time less expensive. These famous Jordans are scheduled for a summer release, which fits well for a seasonal color palette.
At launch it will be almost a fifteen year anniversary for the "Lightning". It's in high regard among sneaker fans so there will be a lot of talk during the release month. During it's 2006 launch only online purchases were possible, and it came with a T-shirt. We can expect more availability this time around. There's a special lightning box that will accompany the sneakers, a treat for collectors.
Design wise, the colorway of the "Lightning" is visually appealing with sparking yellow coloring most of the upper. There is the familiar black net of the lateral and lace area. The wing of the Jordan 4s take on grey, which is also used on the outsole and tongue featuring a white jumpman with a yellow "Flight" at the bottom. The jumpan's white matches that of the midsole.
It's understandable that this became a hit back in 2006 due to it's eye-catching colorway. This iteration will come in family sizing. The Jordan 4 "Lightning" will be available August 7th via Nike.com.
