The black colorway of the KAWS x Air Jordan 4 Retro debuted in November 2017, following the successful release of the grey edition earlier that March. Staying true to KAWS’ artistic vision, this version features an all-suede upper adorned with a tonal print of the cartoon hands from his iconic Companion figure. The design extends to the translucent glow-in-the-dark outsole, where the same hand graphics are subtly revealed. Finishing details include KAWS’ signature ‘XX’ logo placed above Nike’s ‘AIR’ branding on the heel tabs, adding an exclusive touch to this highly sought-after release.
