The Air Jordan 4 Retro "Thunder" (2023) returns with its iconic, high-contrast Black/Tour Yellow color scheme and a silhouette closer to the original from 1989. The colorway originated in the limited "Thunder & Lightning" pack from 2006, returned in 2012, and on May 13, 2023, saw a third release, which immediately landed on lists of the most coveted AJ4s. This pair is for fans of bold colorways and retro Jordan collectors who appreciate the model's clear aesthetic and history. At Aplug, each pair is verified for authenticity and shipped deadstock in its original box .

Matte black nubuck paired with sharp Tour Yellow accents creates an aggressive, clean contrast, offset by the white Jumpman. Key details include yellow lace-wings and eyelets , mesh on the sidewall and tongue with a yellow underlay, a visible Air unit in the heel , and a black outsole with yellow accents; the 2023 edition features a "fuller" profile, closer to the OG. This lifestyle shoe has basketball roots: perfect for the city, everyday wear, and the collector's rotation, but not for intense play in wet conditions.

This colorway works best with a dark bottom and a single yellow accent on top. Opt for black tapered jeans or cargo pants, tech joggers, and a simple sweatshirt or bomber jacket; add a cap or print with yellow detailing to pop the color without overdoing it. High-ankle socks and slightly cropped legs will accentuate the AJ4's shape, while minimalist accessories will let the "Thunders" take center stage.

What makes the Air Jordan 4 Retro “Thunder” (2023) special?

• Black nubuck upper – soft to the touch, gives a premium look and holds its shape; after impregnation it better withstands urban conditions in dry weather.
• The Tour Yellow contrast on the lace-wings, mesh and midsole clearly defines the lines of the shoe and creates a clear point in the outfit without the need for additional patterns.
• Visible Air-Sole cushion in the heel + polyurethane (PU) midsole – real cushioning for everyday walking and durability of the structure for many seasons.
• TPU lace-wings and heel counter – stable lacing and mechanical locking that keeps the foot aligned without the feeling of “floating”.
• Rubber outsole with herringbone tread – predictable traction on dry surfaces and easy cleaning after a day in the city.
• A profile closer to the OG from 1989, the 2023 edition features more classic proportions appreciated by retro fans and AJ4 purists.
• White Jumpman on the tongue and heel – clear branding that breaks the Black/Yellow duo and adds visual balance.
• Colorways with a cult history (2006/2012/2023) – recognizability and constant demand, which is important for collectors and the secondary market.

How to choose the right size for the Air Jordan 4 Retro "Thunder" (2023)?

This model is true to size for most wearers. If you have wider feet or prefer a looser fit, consider the +0.5 ; if you prefer a snug fit, stick with the standard. Nubuck tends to be stiffer initially, so a short break-in (2-4 hours) and soft socks will help the upper settle in more quickly.
