The Air Jordan 4 "Taupe Haze" is a subdued, textural interpretation of Tinker Hatfield's classic silhouette with '90s basketball DNA, which in 2021 saw both a standard retro and a Union LA 30th anniversary edition at the store. The in-store retro premiered on February 27, 2021 , while the Union LA x Air Jordan 4 "Taupe Haze" dropped as part of the "Tent and Trail" capsule in June 2021. This model combines street-ready functionality with a neutral, earthy palette for colder months and daily rotation. At Aplug, every pair is verified for authenticity and shipped deadstock in its original box .

The design features a soft Taupe Haze suede upper and cracked leather , which create a "patina" effect and a distinct nap between the panels, while mesh netting on the sides and under the tongue add a raw, technical touch. The AJ4's design elements— TPU wings, lace stays, and heel counter —support the Oil Grey/Black finish, complemented by black laces. The sole unit combines a Sail midsole with a visible Nike Air unit in the heel and darker accents flowing down the bottom, while the energetic Infrared 23 appears on the tongue, lining, and sockliner. A "tear-away" design has been circulating in the media—in practice, it's a visual effect of cracked leather , not a wearable layer. The Union LA version adds transparent wings, a pre-folded tongue, and a 1991–2021 collector's tag , which increases its collector value.

The neutral, earthy "Taupe Haze" color pairs best with dark denim, wide cargo pants, and down jackets , while layered outfits in ecru, olive, and graphite enhance the shoe's character without overpowering the upper. On colder days, pair with thicker socks with a high cuff , slightly loosen the TPU wings lacing, and let the leg drape over the tongue. If the Union LA version catches your eye, play with the details—the transparent wings work well as a contrast to technical jackets, softshells, and TPU accessories . Suede and cracked leather will reward you with a stylish look, but require waterproofing and avoiding downpours.

What makes the Air Jordan 4 “Taupe Haze” stand out?

• Suede + Crackled Leather – The distinctive texture creates a controlled patina and adds character to the shoe for everyday wear; the material holds its shape well out of the box.
• Mesh netting on the sides and tongue enhances breathability and adds a sporty detail known from the original AJ4.
• TPU wings and lace stays stabilize the lacing and ensure secure support of the instep during longer walks.
• A visible Nike Air (Air-Sole) unit in the heel absorbs impact and provides responsive comfort for all-day wear.
• The foam midsole in Sail color (PU/EVA blend depending on the production) combines stability with a retro profile that visually slims the silhouette.
• The rubber outsole with Oil Grey/Black accents offers good grip and practical durability for urban surfaces.
• Infrared 23 accents break up the subdued taupe base and give the shoes a "point of light" in the styling.
• Union LA (Special Edition) details : transparent wings, pre-folded tongue and 1991–2021 hangtag increase the collectibility and recognition of the drop.

How to choose the right size for the Air Jordan 4 “Taupe Haze”?

The Air Jordan 4 fits most people—choose your regular size. Those with wider feet or those who plan on wearing thicker socks might consider sizing up to 0.5 for added comfort; the suede has minimal flex but doesn't stretch significantly. When purchasing GS sizes, be aware of the different sizing and construction—check the size chart before purchasing.
