Air Jordan 4 “Thunder” was originally thought to be releasing

 

 

The Air Jordan 4 “Thunder” was originally thought to be releasing on November 17th. We’re now learning that Jordan Brand has pushed the date back a month, and now has the shoe dropping on December 22nd. The shoe features a subtle black nubuck construction, which is offset with vibrant thunder yellow accents on the underlays, lacing crowns, and midsole. Still no exact word as to whether it will be a limited release, but stay tuned in for more information as it surfaces.

First and foremost, pardon the confusing headline and no, you haven’t gone back in time. First made available in 2006, Cheap Jordan Shoes is finally bring back the Air Jordan IV “Thunder”. There was such a demand for this highly prized edition that you will see them listed for $1,000 each at auction, some 6 years after the release. While there are no official words on actual release date yet, rumors have pointed to November 17th of this year, right around the start of the holiday shopping season. Hopefully, Jordan Brand will bring back the matching Destroyer Jacket as well…

The upcoming release of the Air Jordan IV ‘Thunder’ has a lot of Air Jordan collectors/fanatics thinking about the potential fluctuation in ‘value’ of some of their most prized possessions. The Thunder is one of the hardest pick-ups around, and with the original price being $500, finding a pair for anything close to that is next to impossible these days. With the looming release of the Thunders, the value of the 2006 release will likely see a minor slide downwards, so what does that mean for other rarified Air Jordans? Will we see a re-release of the original DMP Pack or the Raging Bulls (2013 is a hard-focus year for the Air Jordan V). We’d like to hear your thoughts on this controversial topic, so let us know if you a wider release of the Thunder IV is something you embrace or an idea that should not have been explored.

Six years later, the Jordan Brand is surprising us with an unexpected re-release of the "Thunder" Air Jordan 4. Originally part of the LS series, the shoe sports a black nubuck base with contrasting yellow accents on the lace tabs, mesh underlayer, tongue lining and midsole. White jumps in the mix for Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel.

As of now, the "Thunder" 4 is expected to hit retail again in November. Keep checking back for updates
