The Air Jordan 4 GS “Lightning 2021” is the youth sizing of the modern re-release of the popular makeup of Michael Jordan’s fourth signature shoe that debuted in August 2006.
Part of the hyper-limited “Thunder & Lightning” pack that was released exclusively on Jumpman23.com (the former Jordan Brand website) the yellow-based “Lightning” colorway is one of the most significant non-original releases in the Jordan 4’s history. 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, 2021.
Imagining a colorway that wasn't released in 1989 but could have been, the "Alternate" Air Jordan 4 creates a Bulls-friendly color scheme in white with red accents.
