Jordan 4 Retro Kaws Black

The Air Jordan 4 Retro KAWS Black is the second collaboration between KAWS and Jordan Brand, following the success of the original KAWS x Jordan 4 in 2017. Released in 2019, the black version of the sneaker carries forward the minimalist, art-driven aesthetic of the first release while offering a darker and more versatile colorway.

Design Features:

• Colorway:
  • The black suede upper gives the sneaker a sleek, sophisticated look, replacing the grey tone of the original collaboration. This black-on-black aesthetic creates a refined, monochromatic design.
  • The entire upper, midsole, and outsole are in black, maintaining a clean and minimalistic style that aligns with KAWS’ signature approach to design.
  • The KAWS “XX” symbol is featured on the heel tab and insole, as well as subtle KAWS-inspired detailing on the tongue and sides.
• Materials:
  • Premium black suede material offers a smooth and luxurious finish.
  • The midsole features translucent rubber elements, giving the shoe a modern, futuristic look while enhancing its durability and comfort.
• Unique Design Elements:
  • KAWS “XX” logo: The signature symbol appears on various parts of the shoe, adding a nod to the artist’s work.
  • The clear translucent outsole offers a unique contrast to the dark colorway, while the KAWS Companion character is featured on the insole.
