First Look at the Air Jordan 4 “Birds of Paradise”

After a major run through 2025, the Air Jordan 4 is showing no signs of slowing down in 2026. One of the silhouette’s more tropical-leaning releases for the year has now surfaced, with first looks at the women’s Air Jordan 4 “Birds of Paradise” revealing a soft, summer-ready take on Tinker Hatfield’s classic design.

The pair arrives in a Coconut Milk-based build, using a mix of smooth leather, suede, and tonal netting across the upper. The soft off-white palette keeps most of the sneaker understated, while translucent eyelets and wings add a slightly aged finish to the design. From there, the “Birds of Paradise” theme comes through more clearly on the sole, where hits of Bright Mango, Sundial, and deep purple give the pair its tropical edge.

Jordan Brand also adds a premium detail at the heel, replacing the usual molded Jumpman with a metallic gold Jumpman badge. The same elevated finish appears on the tongue branding, while the inside of the shoe features a soft coral Jumpman hit on the insole.

Special packaging also plays into the theme, with the box featuring a black base covered in bird-of-paradise flowers, tropical leaves, and gold Jumpman Flight branding. Matching printed tissue paper sits inside, giving the release a more complete storytelling element.

Stay tuned for more updates on the "Birds of Paradise" AJ4. Pairs should land via Nike.com/Jordan by July 23, 2026.
