Official Images // Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 RM "Grandma's Driveway"

After a stretch away from publicly available collaborations, Jordan Brand's Pro BMX rider Nigel Sylvester has consistently stirred excitement through a series of exclusive partnerships, each more elusive than the last. These unique creations, often reserved for a circle close to Sylvester, have kept fans on tenterhooks, eager for a release within their grasp. Now, the wait is taking a promising turn. Come 2024, the public will have a shot at Sylvester’s craftsmanship with the release of a new iteration of the Air Jordan 4, directly bearing the influential rider's distinctive touch.

This forthcoming model isn't a mere continuation but a bold step forward. Sylvester is set to introduce the sneaker world to the Air Jordan 4 RM, a deft remix of the iconic silhouette that Michael Jordan made famous. Venturing into the realms of innovation, this version retains the soul of the original yet isn't afraid to pivot into unexplored territories, marking a significant moment for both Sylvester and the Jordan Brand.

Dressed in an intricate ensemble of Midnight Green, Metallic Platinum, Black, Sail, Dark Smoke Grey, and University Red, the sneaker mirrors Sylvester’s audacious spirit and the vibrant undercurrents of the BMX subculture — and is inspired by his childhood, where he would spend hours rinding his bike down the side of his Grandma's house, along a green-painted fence for which this pair gets its color inspiration. It's an articulation of style, sport, and history, all converging in a piece of wearable art.

From the die-hard Jordan collectors to the admirers of Sylvester's gravity-defying BMX artistry, anticipation is building. Everyone is looking forward to what seems to be not just a shoe but a story — a narrative of passion, flair, and a seamless blend of the old and the new.

Expect to learn and see more soon, as a release is now expected on July 20, 2024.
