The Jordan Brand 4 sneaker model arrives in a Retro WMNS Starfish colorway for the season, showcased for the first time by HanZuYing. The design is reminiscent of the Shattered Backboard design and looks deconstructed with the paneling accents.
The upper features a panel of orange that overlays with a black mesh material to add a textural and tonal contrast against one another. In addition to this, the upper also has a black and gray wing eyelet that helps elevate the lacing system. Branding details can be found at the insoles, badges, heel counters, inner tongue, and the Jumpman tags at the tongue. To complete the shoe, the sockliners are done in cream hues and the orange rubber outsoles are added for traction.
