The Air Jordan 4 ‘White Oreo’ Flips a Classic Colorway
MJ’s fourth signature silhouette returns with a twist on a 1999 favorite.
Designed by Tinker Hatfield and debuted in 1989, the Air Jordan 4 marked the franchise’s first global release. Michael Jordan’s fourth signature shoe built on the familiar shape and legacy of its predecessor, introducing a new wave of performance through a mesh side panel, wing lace structure and extended heel tab.
Today the silhouette is best remembered for ‘The Shot.’ On May 7, 1989 with three seconds left on the clock and down by one point, Jordan fielded an inbound pass and sunk a jumpshot over Cleveland Cavaliers forward Craig Ehlo to carry the Bulls into the second round of the 1989 NBA Eastern Conference playoffs. The play—and MJ’s subsequent celebratory leap—are among the most thrilling and iconic in NBA history.
