The newest Air Jordan 4 RM sneaker to surface is a “Light Legend Brown” colorway shows the nicest versions of this hybrid basketball-skate shoe are the ones dressed in simple monotone color palettes. And personally, I think these great color choices might just push this weird Air Jordan skate shoe into the winner’s circle.
Don’t get caught in a headlock. The adidas AE1 is currently setting the court on fire right now. Yet, this chunked-up AJ4 feels like a benchwarmer that’s actually Nike’s secret weapon. An Air Jordan that looks so different it might just surprise slam dunk and win the basketball sneaker game this summer.
While we’ve seen several colorways of the Air Jordan 4 RM so far, including a hyped collaboration with BMX biker Nigel Sylvester, this Air Jordan 4 RM in Light Legend Brown is a color that hits exactly like those “Sail” Air Jordan 4s released by Off-White in 2020.
These are just so damn clean. I sincerely hope sneakerheads gatekeep these so they don’t turn into muddy music festival steppers like white Air Force 1s.
But seriously, this Air Jordan 4 RM really does look like the Off-White™ Sail’s chiller sister. Like how Solange is to Beyoncé if you will.
The Legend Light Brown Air Jordan 4 RM is a women’s release that will undoubtedly always bring its more popular Off-White predecessor to mind.
And considering that Off-White™’s Sail 4s are a Virgil Abloh-designed Nike sneaker that still fetches high prices on the resale market, this Air Jordan 4 RM is a more than acceptable lookalike for a reasonable price.
Yet the subtle use of logos and the tasteful absence of traditional AJ4 motifs is what makes the AJ4 RM a most versatile low-top sneaker.
It makes the Air Jordan 4 RM come off like a dope Jordan for folks who aren’t diehard sneakerheads.
It’s a digestible basketball sneaker that anyone could wear without being tested about the origin story of “Shattered Backboard” Air Jordan 1s or why Air Ship shoes were banned in 1984.
And with Anthony Edwards being eulogized as the next Jordan, on court and on feet, it only makes sense for Nike to produce more Js for all the kids that loved these shoes but lost every single game of HORSE.
