Union LA x Air Jordan 4 Retro Guava Ice released in 2020
A collaboration between 2020 Jordans and Union LA, the Union LA x Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Guava Ice’ released in 2020 as a follow-up to the brands’ joint 2018 effort. Playful and bold, this iteration nods to all the must-have hues of the upcoming season and looks to key branding, exclusive technology and luxe fabrication to bring the sneaker to life. Underfoot, the yellowed midsole houses visible Max Air in the heel for cushioning.
This alternate Retro Jordan features red and blue accents across eye-stays, collars, and heels. Branding on the tongue, which has been shortened, boasts an eye-catching scarlet hue; “NIKE AIR” text at the rear follows suit, but is accompanied by a stark blue backdrop instead of a black one. The upper is crafted from premium leather and breathable mesh coats the toe box to allow air to flow freely around the foot. The side panels are dressed in that same mesh and the thick sole nods to the chunky-trainer trend.
Buy The Sneaker, Ankle flaps keep their translucent construction, but are surrounded by light tan suede overlays. Mesh across the Jordan 4’s tongue and midfoot indulge in a yellowed finish, while its arrangement on the toe box is done in white. Underfoot, sole units up the vintage aesthetic as they don a fully-yellowed makeup only interrupted by the ostensibly aged visible Airbag and outsole detailing.
