We know, we know — this gets rumored almost every year — but it looks like it’s actually happening; the Air Jordan 4 “Lightning” is returning in 2021 as per @SHOF and @DJFolk.

One of the first online exclusives to ever release, the ultra-rare Air Jordan 4 colorway first released back in 2006 in highly-limited quantities — a strong factor influencing its > $2.5k aftermarket price tag. It arrived alongside the equally famed (but more available) “Thunder” colorway, both of which took its color inspiration from the seasonal strip of MJ’s now-defunct Motorcycle racing team. They also arrived alongside special-edition apparel, including jackets and tees.

The sources have pegged the re-release for August 2021, 15 years to the month from its first and only release. Though a while out, we’re not expecting first looks to arrive until early next year, so until then, enjoy a look at the Air Jordan 4 “Lightning” from 2006 here below, and be sure to keep your eyes locked on our official Twitter account for further developments.
