The Air Jordan 4 was designed by Tinker Hatfield and first released in 1989, introducing the mesh panels and molded wings that became its signature. Michael Jordan wore it for "The Shot" against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1989 playoffs, cementing its place in basketball history. It remains one of the most popular Jordan silhouettes, retroed regularly in both original and new colourways.
The Rare Air colourway pairs a black nubuck upper with dark grey suede around the toe and black molded lace wings. Royal blue runs across the collar lining, heel tab and forefoot midsole, with fire red on the lace wing eyelets and outsole. A vintage-aged cream midsole at the heel adds a retro finish.
Black nubuck upper with dark grey suede overlays and breathable grid mesh panels. Molded lace wings and side support wings for the signature AJ4 shape. Visible Air unit in the heel for responsive cushioning, with a herringbone rubber outsole for grip. Padded collar, structured heel tab and a removable Rare Air tongue patch.

The Jordan 4 Rare Air (GS) is for younger sneaker fans who want a heritage Jordan with bold colour blocking. The black base keeps it practical for everyday wear and school runs, while the blue and red details make it stand out. It is also a strong pick for adults with smaller feet after this colourway.
The black base makes the Rare Air easy to wear every day, while the blue and red hits give it plenty of energy. Pair it with black or charcoal joggers and a plain white tee to let the colour blocking stand out. It also works well with light-wash denim and a royal blue or red hoodie to pick up the accents.
Compared to the Jordan 1, the Jordan 4 has a more structured build with mesh panels, molded wings and a visible Air unit, giving it a chunkier, more technical look. Within the Jordan 4 range, the Rare Air sits alongside OG colourways like the Bred, using a similar black base but swapping in royal blue and fire red accents. It is a strong choice for anyone after a darker, versatile AJ4 with more colour than a classic black and red pair.
Yes, the Jordan 4 Rare Air (GS) runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. If your child is between sizes, sizing up half a size leaves a little room to grow.
GS stands for Grade School, Jordan's sizing for older children. It uses the same design and materials as the adult Jordan 4, scaled down to youth sizes, so younger fans get the full AJ4 look and feel.
The Rare Air (GS) is available from UK 3 to UK 4 at HOODLUMS UK. Grade-school sizing also suits adults with smaller feet who want this colourway.
Use a soft suede brush on the nubuck and suede to lift dirt, and spot clean the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid the washing machine, as it can damage the nubuck and suede. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
