Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Red Thunder' CT8527-016
Air Jordan 4 Retro “Red Thunder”
The darker, more aggressive counterpart to the iconic Thunder, the Air Jordan 4 “Red Thunder” brings high-contrast energy to one of Jordan Brand’s most recognizable silhouettes. Released on October 2, 2021, this colorway swaps the original Thunder’s yellow accents for bold red, creating a sleek and striking finish.
A black synthetic nubuck upper provides the foundation, while red mesh underlays add depth beneath the side and tongue panels. Signature red wings at the lace holders sharpen the look, and a clean white Jumpman logo on the heel counter delivers a crisp contrast.
