The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” is returning November 27, 2026, in full-family sizing, with pairs expected to be widely available through Nike SNKRS and Jordan Brand retailers worldwide. Images also show the shoe getting back to the look of the original, with black nubuck returning after the 2024 “Reimagined” pair swapped it out for leather.
Cement Grey, Fire Red and white fill in the rest of the familiar color blocking. Nike Air branding is back on the heel tabs, while Nike branding also appears on the outsole. Put together, the 2026 pair looks a lot closer to the 1989 original.
The “Bred” Air Jordan 4 has been brought back plenty of times, and each release has been a little different. The first retro arrived in 1999. Releases followed in 2008 and 2012, both with Jumpman branding on the heel. Nike Air returned in 2019 before Jordan Brand went in a different direction with the leather-covered “Reimagined” version in 2024.
For this release, the black nubuck and Nike Air branding are together again. It is a pretty simple change on paper, but it brings back two of the details that longtime fans usually want from a “Bred” 4.
Air Jordan 4 Bred 2026 Release Date
The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” will release on Black Friday, November 27, 2026, in full-family sizing. Adult pairs will retail for $230.
This won’t be a limited drop. A wide general release is expected, with plenty more pairs available than some recent Jordan launches.
