Air Jordan 4 “Lakeshow”

Jordan Brand is preparing another high-profile release in its retro calendar – the Air Jordan 4 “Lakers” will hit the market in spring 2026. This is one of the first major releases of the season, planned for the iconic basketball event – NBA All-Star Weekend , which will take place in Los Angeles in mid-February, with wider sales expected to begin in early March 2026.

The Los Angeles Lakers are one One of the most recognizable franchises in NBA history, known for its seventeen championships and legendary players like Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. The Lakers' colors—imperial purple and gold—are among the most iconic on the basketball court, and sneakers inspired by these colors automatically gain importance in streetwear culture. The Jordan 4 "Lakers" continues this tradition, adding elements to the classic silhouette that nod to the organization's successes and influence on pop culture and streetwear.

The Air Jordan 4 is one of the most important and recognizable models in Jordan history. It debuted in 1989 as the first globally available version, designed by Tinker Hatfield, with signature mesh panels, TPU "wings," and visible Air units that have become the silhouette's signature. Thanks to key moments in basketball history—like Jordan's "The Shot"—and pop culture roles, including in the film "Do the Right Thing," the Jordan 4 has become an icon that has endured for decades, from the court to the streets.

The popularity of the Air Jordan 4 shows no signs of waning, as evidenced by numerous high-profile releases in recent years and seasons. Retro releases of classic colorways like "White Cement" and "Military Black" continue to attract attention and sell out quickly, while limited editions like the Air Jordan 4 "Black Cat" return as bestsellers. The "Lakers" edition features a vibrant Imperial Purple across the majority of the upper, paired with black on the mesh, laces, and TPU panels, while accents of Varsity Maize yellow appear on the Jumpman logo and heel detailing. It all sits atop the classic AJ4 construction with a visible Air unit and a translucent sole, giving the shoe a sporty yet fresh urban feel.

If you're a fan of Jordan, Lakers colors, or simply looking for a sneaker with a strong seasonal accent, this model could be one of the most interesting releases of spring 2026. With its combination of a classic retro silhouette, rich materials, and vibrant color scheme, the Air Jordan 4 "Lakers" has the potential to become a staple in both your collection and your everyday style.
