Sneaker history is filled with iconic partnerships, but few were as groundbreaking as the one between Undefeated and Jordan Brand in 2005. Their Air Jordan 4 collaboration wasn’t just a fresh design, it marked the very first time Jordan Brand dipped its toes into the exclusive collab pool.

Inspired by military MA-1 flight jackets, the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 sported a luxurious olive nubuck upper with hits of black and orange throughout. A Velcro tongue patch, mimicking the closure system on a flight jacket, added a unique touch. Limited to just 72 pairs, the release was shrouded in exclusivity – some pairs were distributed through an online auction during an in-store raffle, while Friends & Family received the remainder.

Fast forward to 2025, and the wait is finally over! To celebrate the shoe’s 20th anniversary, the Undefeated 4s are getting a retail release for the first time ever. This is a golden opportunity for sneakerheads to own a piece of history.

Let’s not forget the Eminem x Carhartt x Air Jordan 4, another exclusive Air Jordan 4 that caused a stir. Gifted to Eminem’s inner circle in 2015, only ten pairs later surfaced for charity through an eBay auction. This design went a completely different direction – a black canvas upper with chrome accents, featuring a hockey mask and Eminem’s “E” logo on the heel.

Both the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 and the Eminem x Carhartt x Air Jordan 4 “Black Chrome” are heavyweights in the world of exclusive Jordans. The Undefeated boasts historical significance, while the Eminem collab offers a unique design twist.
