Jordan Brand’s recent release of the Air Jordan 3 ‘Medium Olive’ (which I ordered) made me remember one of the best AJ sneakers to go green. I’m not talking about Undefeated 4; the sneakers I’m referring to are the Air Jordan 4 Retro SE Craft ‘Medium Olive’ (Style Code: FB9927-200). ‘Medium Olive’ AJ4s are a brilliant lesson in luxe materials and layered design. One thing you can expect from Craft series Jordans is quality upgrades on classic silhouettes–in short retros done right. When sneakers can blur the lines between art and athletic apparel it pushes the culture forward. I rock with the OGs but not so much that I can’t roll with the future. Design Details The key to any good remix is not to abandon the original work entirely. These ‘Medium Olive’ Jordan 4s honor Tinker Hatfield’s iconic design by keeping heritage must-haves like wings, lace cages, visible air units, heel shields, and Jumpman tongue branding intact. Not everything stayed the same, swapping out the mesh paneling for a suede grid was a bold move that paid off. It’s the colorway and craftsmanship that make this remix a hit record. The depth and beauty created through the mix of materials on these sneakers is phenomenal. Raba Kali says, “The Air Jordan 4 Retro SE Craft “Medium Olive” reimagines a classic silhouette through texture and tone. Layered suede and leather panels create depth, while subtle olive hues bring a refined, elevated edge.” Release Details & Where to Buy Today Air Jordan 4 Retro SE Craft ‘Medium Olive’ (Style Code: FB9927-200) dropped via Nike SNKRS and Jordan Brand retailers on November 18, 2023, in full family sizing.

Harvest time hues wrap this classic as well as any other palette. That’s saying a lot because Jordans dressed in Chicago Bulls team colors are special to me. Growing up in the Chi when MJ played in the Windy City–red, black, and white feels like MVPs and Championships. Truth be told, outside of memories and nostalgia I prefer natural tones. What about you?
