Lipstick-inspired glossy midsole and kiss graphics celebrate romance. The Air Jordan 4 Retro "Valentine's Day" delivers seasonal elegance through subtle romantic details on Tinker Hatfield's iconic 1989 silhouette.
Design & Inspiration
The Air Jordan 4 originally debuted in 1989, designed by Tinker Hatfield as the first signature Jordan to release globally. The model introduced visible Air-Sole cushioning, supportive TPU wings, and mesh ventilation panels that defined performance basketball footwear for the era. Valentine's Day has become an increasingly important holiday in the sneaker world, with Jordan Brand expanding seasonal releases following successful 2025 lineups that included Jordan 3, Jordan Heir, and multiple Jordan 1 styles.
This women's exclusive "Valentine's Day" edition balances versatility with playful seasonal touches. Tumbled white leather dominates the upper in Pale Ivory tones, creating a clean foundation. Sierra Red and Tough Red accents hit the waffle eyelets, interior lining, tongue Jumpman branding, heel tab, and translucent TPU support wings. The rose-tinted mesh ventilation panels on quarter panel and tongue add subtle femininity. A standout feature is the glossy, metallic-like finish applied to Sierra Red midsole sections at forefoot and heel—designed to resemble red lipstick. Red kiss graphics appear on the insoles and inner tongue, reinforcing the romantic theme. An oversized translucent heart-shaped hangtag featuring a red Jumpman logo completes the Valentine's aesthetic, making this an ideal gift for sneaker enthusiasts.
Comfort & Performance
Full-length visible Air-Sole unit provides responsive cushioning for all-day comfort. Padded collar ensures secure ankle support and lockdown. TPU support wings enhance midfoot stability during lateral movements. Mesh ventilation panels promote breathability. Durable rubber outsole with herringbone traction pattern delivers reliable grip on various surfaces.
