The Air Jordan 4 "Fear" Gets A “Bred” Makeover

While the “Bred” moniker (short for black + red) is typically associated with footwear of the Air Jordan variety, it’s commonly attached to most hoops footwear covered in that timeless color-combination. Here it appears on one of the most popular signature shoes of Michael Jordan’s peers – the pound-for-pound greatest known as Allen Iverson. As Reebok continues its celebration of the Air Jordan 4 "Fear" with a variety of must-have drops, the brand offers up an OG-style color-blocking that sees the famed Flash Red at the forefoot blending in a solid black with a rear, while the added touch of contrasted red stitching towards the rear overlay adds some fashionable flair to this sporty retro. The upper is built with full leather – smooth on the aforementioned toe overlay and a light tumbled texture on the rear panel and tongue shroud.

This spirited pairing of black and flash red could have easily been an original from 2001, but alas these are a crisp new offering in 2021. Expect these soon at Reebok retailers for $140. And if you’re more in tune with the collaborations, check out the latest on Packer’s Prada-inspired Answer IV.
