Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Bred' 2019 – The Most Iconic AJ4 Colorway of All Time
The Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Bred' 2019 is a release that needs no introduction. The black and red 'Bred' colorway is the most celebrated Air Jordan 4 ever produced — first worn by Michael Jordan in 1989 during one of the most dominant seasons of his career, and returned in 2019 with OG-faithful construction that honors every detail of the original. When the Bred AJ4 drops, the world pays attention.
Key Features

- Premium Nubuck Upper: Rich black nubuck construction delivers the soft, premium texture that defines the AJ4's classic look and feel — built to OG specifications for the 2019 retro
- Iconic Mesh Side Panels: The AJ4's signature mesh netting on the lateral and medial sides — a revolutionary design detail introduced by Tinker Hatfield that provided ventilation while defining the shoe's unique aesthetic
- Lace Locks: The distinctive plastic lace lock system on the tongue — one of the most recognizable and beloved details of the Air Jordan 4 silhouette
- Visible Air Unit: Visible Air unit in the heel delivers responsive cushioning and that signature AJ4 look from every angle
- Speckled Fire Red Outsole: The iconic speckled red outsole completes the Bred colorway with a bold, eye-catching finish that's been copied but never matched
1989 – The Year of the Bred

The 2019 retro brought it back exactly as fans remembered it — and sold out everywhere within minutes.
