The Air Jordan 4 was designed by Tinker Hatfield. The legendary sneaker architect wasn’t around since the beginning of the Air Jordan line, but he entered during a key junction of the partnership. Aback the release of the Air Jordan 2, Michael considered leaving Nike to explore other options. Tinker stepped in, delivered the Air Jordan arrive 11 Black Red also referred to as Bred, and the rest was history.

The actual nickname for this colorway is “Black Cement”. Long before the term “Bred” was appointed to pretty much any original Air Jordan in a black red colorway, sneakerheads during the internet forum era referred to these as the “Black Cement” 4s. Due to the fact that the Air Jordan arrive 11 Black Red also referred to as Bred was also called “Black Cement”, many assumed the latter word to be a nod to the elephant print, but it was actually a reference to the Cement Grey hue used on the outsole and inner lining.

The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” will have released a total of five times (as of May 4th). The original, as you know, released in 1989. The first retro came in 1999 in a silver box and featured the highly valued Nike Air on the heel. It would not appear on store shelves again until 2008 during Jordan’s year-long run of “Countdown Package” releases, but there were a couple of catches: it was paired up with the Air Jordan XIX, and the Nike Air logo on the heel was nowhere to be found. In 2012, the shoes returned once more with a period-specific shoebox and black tissue.
