Nigel Sylvester is sharing his grandmother’s driveway with the world through his compelling Air Jordan 4 RM sneaker collaboration.
Revealed earlier this year, Sylvester’s Jordan 4 RM prepares to finally ride out for an official release soon, readying fans for a launch filled with biking energy — and some Sylvester history.
Dubbed “Grandma’s Driveway,” the Jordan 4 RM takes fans back to where Sylvester fell in love with bike riding. The sneaker’s packaging — tissue paper featuring a young, bike-equipped Nigel included — naturally echoes the early days of Sylvester’s passion. Elsewhere, the Jordan 4 RM reiterates his BMX background through cool “Bike Air” badges.
Sylvester’s Jordan 4 RM sneaker is finally wrapped up in a stylish green colorway, directly inspired by his grandmother’s fence color.
Sylvester also has a second pair of “Bike Air” Jordan sneakers in greyish black, and Lil Yachty just added it to his massive sneaker collection. The pair hasn’t yet received a release date, but it’s said to be also inspired by his grandma’s driveway.
What would our childhoods be without our grannies and their driveways?
At a recent Go Ride event in NY, our cover alum laced up in his soon-come sneakers while the “Grandma’s Driveway” campaign played on a billboard behind him.
At the same time, Sylvester held an early release for the Jordan 4 RM sneakers at Kith’s Manhattan store and BSTN’s spot in London.
But don’t frown if you couldn’t catch a flight to either store. Sylvester’s Air Jordan 4 RM sneakers are currently slated to release on July 20.
We’re still waiting for the “where” and “how to cop” details, but a launch date is a start.
May the countdown begin…if you haven’t already been counting the days since the first reveal.
