Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 "Better With Time" Is on the Way

Nigel Sylvester and Jordan Brand kicked off the brand’s 40th-anniversary celebrations in style with an exclusive dinner unveiling their collaborative "Brick By Brick" collection. Already one of the year's most anticipated projects, the event showcased the Air Jordan 4 centerpiece alongside a special capsule of apparel. However, the evening’s biggest surprise was the unexpected reveal of an alternate "White" colorway of the Air Jordan 4, which Sylvester confirmed to Complex will release later in 2025.

The alternate pair—tentatively dubbed "Better With Time"—glimpsed only briefly beneath Sylvester’s baggy denim, shares a similar structure to the classic "Fire Red" OG. However, it replaces the Bulls-red accents with the brick-orange hues central to the collaboration’s theme. While full visuals are yet to surface, mock-ups provide a speculative look at the design. Fans should note that the retail iteration may differ slightly when it finally hits shelves.

The surprise reveal has added further intrigue to what is shaping up to be a monumental year for the Air Jordan 4. With over 15 confirmed releases spanning collaborations, retros, and new colorways, 2025 is undoubtedly poised to be a defining year for the silhouette.

Stay tuned for more details on the next Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 as the year progresses.
