The Air Jordan 4 Union Guava Ice is a collaboration between Jordan Brand and Union LA (a Los Angeles-based streetwear retailer), released in 2020. This collaboration is part of a two-sneaker pack, featuring the Guava Ice and the Off Noir colorways. The Guava Ice version stands out with its unique design, which blends a mix of materials, colors, and vintage-inspired elements.

Design Features:

• Colorway:
  • The Guava Ice colorway is made up of a soft peachy-pink hue for the upper, with gray, beige, and black accents, creating a distinctive and retro-inspired aesthetic.
  • The mesh panels are in a light beige, while dark brown and black leather elements are found on the heel and toe areas.
  • Yellow accents appear on the tongue and heel tab, adding a pop of color that ties into the retro vibe.
  • The Union LA logo is featured on the inside of the tongue, representing the collaboration.
• Materials:
  • The upper is constructed using a blend of premium leather and suede, with mesh for breathability and flexibility.
  • A fabric inner lining is used, giving it a softer and more comfortable feel.
  • The midsole is made with the classic Jordan 4 design, featuring Air-Sole units for cushioning.
• Special Design Details:
  • The sneaker features a deconstructed look, with visible stitching and raw edges, creating a vintage, worn-in effect that ties into the overall aesthetic of the collaboration.
  • Union LA branding is prominently displayed on the tongue and insole.
  • The tongue is reversible, allowing for a unique customization with a blue color underneath, adding another level of design flexibility.
