Jordan 4 RM "Varsity Red" Paints the Town This Fall

The Jordan 4 RM has had an explosive start to life, largely thanks to Nigel Sylvester’s heartfelt debut pair honoring his grandmother. Since then, colorways like “Bred” and “Military Black” have helped maintain momentum—but the silhouette’s next chapter might be its boldest yet.

The upcoming “Varsity Red” edition commands attention with a saturated tonal execution. Dressed in a mix of leather, mesh, and nubuck, the pair leans heavily into its namesake hue, layering varying red finishes across the entire upper. The monotone palette is briefly broken up by crisp white Nike Air branding at the heel and tongue, while underfoot, an icy semi-translucent outsole offers subtle contrast and a modern edge.

While the technical DNA remains rooted in Air Jordan 4 heritage, this RM variant continues to carve out a distinct path—less retro, more lifestyle-focused. The blend of textures and refined updates suggest Jordan Brand’s intent to push this silhouette as a mainstay heading into late 2025.

Expect the Jordan 4 RM “Varsity Red” to be released in late Summer or Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers.
