The KAWS x Air Jordan 4 Retro marks a groundbreaking collaboration between Jordan Brand and renowned Brooklyn-based street artist KAWS. also known as Brian Donnelly. Departing from the traditional design. this iteration replaces the silhouette's plastic accents with a luxurious grey suede upper that extends to the midsole. Signature details include KAWS' iconic 'XX' branding on the heel tab. adding a distinct artistic touch. Released in March 2017. the sneakers debuted alongside a limited capsule collection featuring a coaches jacket. hoodie. t-shirt. and hat. The release generated unprecedented hype. with the in-store raffle at Patta in London requiring police intervention. and sneaker enthusiasts even hacking Donnelly's website for a shot at the coveted drop.
