Air Jordan 4 Retro SB ‘Pine Green’

The Air Jordan 4 Retro SB ‘Pine Green’, a landmark collaboration between Jordan Brand and Nike SB, reimagines the iconic Air Jordan 4 silhouette, specifically engineering it for the demands of modern skateboarding. The upper is crafted from a clean, off-white leather, providing a durable and premium base. A light grey suede overlay reinforces the forefoot and mudguard area, offering enhanced resistance to abrasion from griptape. The design is brought to life with vibrant ‘Pine Green’ accents on the molded eyelets and the heel portion of the midsole. A key highlight of this model is the series of skate-specific modifications. The famous TPU ‘wings’ and the heel tab are constructed from a softer, more flexible rubber compound to withstand the rigors of skating. To improve board feel and control, the shoe’s shape has been adjusted to more closely match the original 1989 toe box, and the forefoot Air-sole unit has been removed, replaced with a Poron foam sockliner for flexibility, impact cushioning, and durability. The polyurethane midsole still features a visible Air unit in the heel for crucial impact absorption. The tongue is more padded for comfort, and the heel tab features prominent Nike SB branding instead of the traditional Jumpman or Nike Air logo. A striking pop of ‘Fire Red’ appears on the Jumpman logo on the tongue, and the outsole features zonal gum rubber in high-wear areas for superior grip.

The Air Jordan 4 Retro SB ‘Pine Green’ is designed for a diverse audience that sits at the intersection of basketball heritage, skate culture, and sneaker collecting. Its primary customers are skateboarders, who will benefit directly from the enhanced durability, flexibility, and improved board feel. However, its status as a highly anticipated collaboration and its clean, classic colorway make it a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts and collectors. It is also a stylish and comfortable option for casual, everyday wear, appealing to anyone who appreciates the fusion of iconic design with functional, modern updates.
