Air Jordan 4 “Bred” Returns Nov. 27 With OG Details—Including "Nike Air" Branding

The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” is set to make its long-awaited return in Holiday 2026—this time in a true-to-OG build. Following the recent “Bred Reimagined” release and the widely praised 2019 retro, Jordan Brand will shift back to original specifications for its next run of the iconic 1989 colorway.

The “Bred” Jordan 4 has always carried a legacy beyond its visuals. It’s the shoe tied to “The Shot,” a defining moment of Michael Jordan’s early playoff brilliance, and a pillar of Tinker Hatfield’s most influential designs. While the 2019 edition brought back Nike Air branding, this 2026 retro aims for full authenticity, restoring the OG shape, materials, and overall proportions that collectors have been asking for.

The retro sports classic features "Black" nubuck, "Cement Grey" and "Fire Red" accents, and "Nike Air" heel branding. Each detail comes together to deliver a build closer to the ’89 original than more recent iterations. White edges across the upper panels also suggest more precise craftsmanship. The 2026 “Bred” 4 is poised to be the most faithful modern interpretation yet.

Adult sizing should arrive in the beloved Michael Jordan face box.

Stay tuned for more looks and information as the Air Jordan 4 OG "Bred" returns on November 27 in full-family sizing.
