With Jayson Tatum entering another season as the face of Jordan Brand’s next generation, early leaks suggest his fourth signature sneaker may have surfaced sooner than expected. Images pulled from NBA 2K26 show what appears to be the Jordan Tatum 4, offering fans a potential preview months ahead of its official unveiling.
The rumored Tatum 4 keeps close ties to its predecessor, carrying forward the streamlined, performance-first aesthetic seen in the Tatum 3. The upper features bold paneling with smooth overlays and a prominent forefoot design that calls back to the wavy lines of Tatum’s earlier models. Red Jumpman branding and accents are set against a black and white base, while “0” embroidery on the heel and Tatum’s “JT” insignia on the tongue make their presence clear.
Underfoot, the sneaker reveals a herringbone outsole built for multidirectional grip, with a carbon-fiber style plate at the midfoot for added stability. While no official tech specs have been confirmed, it’s expected that Jordan Brand will continue to refine the lightweight build and responsive cushioning system that has been central to the Tatum line.
As of now, Jordan Brand has not confirmed the design’s authenticity, but the in-game debut has fueled speculation that the Jordan Tatum 4 will see a Holiday 2025 release. Given Tatum’s steady ascent as one of the NBA’s elite talents, the next chapter in his signature series will likely garner plenty of attention both on and off the court.
