The Air Jordan 4 Lightning 2021 is a modern re-issue of the desirable colorway of Michael Jordans fourth signature shoe that was originally released in August 2006. Without question one of the most sought-after non-original Air Jordan shoes ever, the first Lightning was released in hyper-limited quantities exclusively on Jumpman23.com (the former Jordan Brand website) alongside a "reverse" black and yellow Thunder Jordan 4, together creating the Thunder & Lightning pack. The Lightning was accompanied by an Air Jordan Flight T-shirt and the Thunder was paired with a varsity jacket. In 2012, Jordan Brand brought back the Thunder, but curiously decided against releasing the Lightning. 15 years after its debut, the Lightning returned in near true-to-original fashion. Like the OG, the modern incarnation of the Lightning features Tour Yellow nubuck on its upper with black mesh on the tongue and mid-panel. Grey wings and black eyelets contrast the yellow look. Elsewhere, white Jumpman branding appears on the nylon tongue tag and a black Jumpman graces the back of the shoe. Jordan Brand opts for a slightly lighter grey rubber outsole than that of the unit found on the original Lightning from 2006. Release date: August 28, 2021Provides a secure fit that minimizes internal movement and the potential for squeaking, sneakers heel.
