A Look at the Rare Jordan 4 Retro Manila Trainers
Tinker Hatfield changed up the game on his second of many Air Jordan designs by amping up the performance and breathability. He kept the AJ 3's mid-cut height, the visible Air unit in the heel and the "Nike Air" emblem on the back. Hatfield also retained the signature Jumpman logo on the tongue.
The Air Jordan 4 implemented a more utilitarian approach. Here's what made it stand apart:
- Cost-effective Durabuck synthetic leather upper that wipes clean with ease
- An encapsulated Air unit added to the forefoot
- The word “Flight” incorporated into the Jumpman logo - Air Jordan is meant to fly, after all
- The addition of “wings,” a multiport lacing system with extra holes for a customized fit and enhanced lateral support
- A pull tab added to the heel for an easier wearing experience
- “Over-moulded” mesh panelling for increased breathability, the netting was coated with urethane, dipped in soft plastic, then air-blown to remove the plastic from the net’s gaps
History of the Air Jordan 4
On May 7, 1989, the world witnessed "The Shot", an impossible feat for anyone other than His Airness. Michael Jordan pulled off this legendary buzzer-beater with assistance from his Black Cement Air Jordan 4s. It was MJ's fifth year in the league and a brilliant display of his growing dominance as a superstar.
The same could be said for Tinker Hatfield, the lead designer for the Air Jordan line. After the tremendous success of the Air Jordan 3, Hatfield had his work cut out for him. Coming on the heels of one of the most popular trainer designs ever, did he dare mess with the formula? He opted to keep the overall design similar to its predecessor but boosted the performance features.
If the Air Jordan 3 saved Nike's partnership with Jordan, the Air Jordan 4 cemented it - primarily due to the inspired design efforts of Hatfield.
Jordan 4 Retro Manila 2020 Sample
The Air Jordan 4 Retro Manila was released in limited quantities on 3 December 2020. Crackle, stingray, and ostrich premium leathers went into making the upper. Three shades of green were used for the upper's colourway. The top portion of the tongue is in the shade different from the rest of the upper. Black shoelaces and eyelets balance the vibrant colours. The midsole and part of the outsole are also black. Sail is used for the rest of the visible portion of the outsole. Blue and yellow accents appear on the bottoms of the trainers. There is also a yellow Jumpman logo on the backs of the trainers. Each pair of trainers has a number inscribed on the inner part of the tongue. This number represents which release it is.
