Jordan Pushes Color to the Max on the Kids-Exclusive AJ4 “Black & Infrared 23”

The Air Jordan 4 continues to hold an evergreen place in the Air Jordan lineup, maintaining a level of popularity that few models from 1989—or any era—can match. Even in the kids’ category, the silhouette rarely slows down, and Jordan Brand is already preparing yet another energetic colorway for Summer 2026.

Early listings on Sneaker Market Romania indicate the pair will arrive in a palette of Black, Infrared 23, Bright Mango, Barely Volt, and White. While no official images are available yet, the mock-ups circulating online provide a strong indication of what to expect: a black nubuck upper serving as the anchor, contrasted by bright pops of Infrared 23 and Mango along the midsole and outsole. Barely Volt appears through the mesh panels and underlays, injecting the kind of high-contrast energy typically reserved for adult releases.

The overall color blocking mirrors what’s seen in current sample mock-ups, balancing retro familiarity with a kid-friendly punch of highlighter tones. Traditional AJ4 elements return—wings, mesh netting, visible Air cushioning—ensuring the model feels just as authentic as any adult version.

With more children's sizing options continuing to roll out every season, the kids’ AJ4 “Black & Infrared 23” adds yet another lively twist to a silhouette that never loses momentum.

Expect pairs to land at Jordan Brand retailers in Summer 2026, with pricing and specific release details to be confirmed as the launch draws closer.
