Air Jordan 4 Retro SE 'Wet Cement' (Paris Olympics)
The Air Jordan 4 was designed by Tinker Hatfield and first released in 1989, becoming the first Jordan model to achieve a global release. Its mesh side panels, plastic support wings, and visible heel Air unit made it one of the most technically advanced basketball shoes of its era. The Wet Cement colourway was released as a Special Edition alongside the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, drawing inspiration from the city's cobblestone streets and offering a premium grey palette that has drawn comparisons to the iconic KAWS collaboration.
The Wet Cement colourway is inspired by the cobblestone streets of Paris, using varying shades of grey across the entire shoe. A smoke grey nubuck upper pairs with darker iron grey suede forefoot overlays and TPU wings, while cement grey and particle grey tones appear across the mesh panels, eyelets, and midsole. The tonal gradient creates a refined, textured aesthetic that feels both understated and premium.
Premium smoke grey nubuck upper with iron grey suede forefoot overlays for a rich, textured construction. Visible Air-Sole cushioning in the heel for responsive impact protection and all-day comfort. Monochromatic grey palette across all components for a refined, tonal aesthetic. Signature Jordan 4 floating eyestays, TPU support wings, and mesh side panels for structural integrity and breathability. Durable rubber outsole for reliable multi-surface traction.
Fit: Runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size.

The Air Jordan 4 Retro SE Wet Cement is for sneaker enthusiasts who appreciate refined, tonal colourways over bold contrasting designs. The monochromatic grey palette suits anyone looking for a versatile, premium Jordan 4 that works across multiple outfits and occasions. It also appeals to collectors who want the KAWS-inspired grey aesthetic without the five-figure resale price.
The Wet Cement's monochromatic grey palette makes it one of the most refined Jordan 4 colourways available. It pairs well with black, charcoal, or navy bottoms for a tonal look, or with lighter tones like cream and off-white for contrast. The all-grey finish gives it a premium, understated feel that works across streetwear and smart casual outfits.
The Wet Cement sits alongside the Black Cat and Fear as one of the most versatile monochromatic Jordan 4s. Compared to the Black Cat, the Wet Cement offers a lighter, more textured alternative through its grey nubuck and suede combination. For anyone choosing between this and the KAWS Jordan 4, the Wet Cement delivers a similar tonal grey aesthetic at a far more accessible price point, making it an attractive alternative for fans of the grey-on-grey look.
Yes, the Air Jordan 4 runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. The nubuck and suede upper provides a secure, comfortable fit straight out of the box without needing to size up or down.
The Wet Cement shares a similar monochromatic grey palette to the highly coveted KAWS x Air Jordan 4 released in 2017, which resells for thousands. While the KAWS version features unique hand-stitched detailing and glow-in-the-dark outsoles, the Wet Cement offers a comparable tonal grey aesthetic at a fraction of the price.
SE stands for Special Edition, indicating that the shoe features unique materials, colourways, or design details that differ from standard retro releases. The Wet Cement uses a premium mix of nubuck and suede with a monochromatic grey palette inspired by the cobblestone streets of Paris.
We recommend using a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the nubuck and suede upper. Avoid soaking or machine washing as this can damage the suede texture. Use a dedicated suede cleaner for stubborn marks and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
