Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Military Black'
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 Military Black colourway debuted in 2022 as a modern reinterpretation of the original 1989 Military Blue, using the same colour blocking but replacing blue accents with black for a clean, neutral palette.
The Military Black colourway mirrors the iconic colour blocking of the original 1989 Military Blue, swapping blue for black. A smooth white leather upper pairs with neutral grey suede on the forefoot overlay and mudguard, while black accents appear on the TPU eyelets, heel tab, mesh underlays, and Jumpman tongue branding. A two-tone white and black midsole with visible Air unit completes the clean, versatile palette.
Smooth white leather upper with neutral grey suede forefoot overlay for a premium, structured construction. Visible Air-Sole cushioning in the heel for responsive impact protection and all-day comfort. Black TPU eyelets, molded heel tab, and Jumpman tongue branding for clean contrast against the white base. Netting over black mesh quarter panels for breathability and signature Jordan 4 detailing. Two-tone white and black rubber outsole with light grey accents for reliable multi-surface traction.
Fit: Adult sizes (UK 7-11) run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. Grade School sizes (UK 3-6) run true to size; half a size up recommended for wider feet or a looser fit.

The Air Jordan 4 Retro Military Black is for anyone who wants a clean, neutral Jordan 4 that works with virtually any outfit. The white, grey, and black palette makes it one of the easiest Jordan 4s to wear daily without overthinking your fit. Available in both GS and adult sizing, it suits sneaker fans of all ages who appreciate understated design over bold, attention-grabbing colourways.
The Military Black's white, grey, and black palette makes it one of the most versatile Jordan 4 colourways. It pairs effortlessly with dark denim, black joggers, grey cargo pants, or khaki trousers. The neutral colour scheme means it works as a go-to daily wear shoe without clashing with any outfit.
The Military Black sits alongside the White Thunder, Military Blue, and White Cement as one of the most popular white-based Jordan 4 colourways. Compared to the White Thunder, the Military Black offers a lighter overall look with its white midsole and leather-dominant upper. For anyone choosing between this and the 2024 Military Blue, the Military Black provides a more neutral, everyday-wearable palette while the Military Blue carries stronger OG heritage and Nike Air heel branding.
Adult sizes (UK 7-11) run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. For Grade School sizes (UK 3-6), we also recommend true to size, but if you have wider feet or prefer a looser fit, consider going half a size up.
The Military Black uses the exact same colour blocking and material construction as the original 1989 Military Blue, but replaces all blue accents with black. Both feature a white leather upper with grey suede forefoot overlays. The Military Blue has Nike Air heel branding while the Military Black uses the Jumpman logo.
HOODLUMS stocks both Grade School (GS) sizes from UK 3 to UK 6 and Adult sizes from UK 7 to UK 11, including half sizes across both ranges. GS sizes share the same design but are built on a slightly smaller last.
We recommend using a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap for the leather upper. For the grey suede forefoot overlay, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. Avoid soaking or machine washing, and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
