The Air Jordan 4 has had hundreds of releases, retros and collaborations, but the original colourways are still the most important. These are the pairs that gave the silhouette its identity and helped build its reputation across basketball and streetwear.

Air Jordan 4 Black/Cement — also known as Bred
The Black/Cement Jordan 4 is one of the most famous Jordan trainers ever made. Often called “Bred” because of its black and red colour palette, this pair is strongly connected to Michael Jordan’s on-court history.
The dark upper, grey speckled detailing and red accents make it one of the most wearable versions of the Jordan 4. It looks good with black cargos, grey joggers, dark denim and oversized hoodies.
This is the colourway that feels the most aggressive and performance-led. It has that classic Bulls energy without being too loud.
Air Jordan 4 White Cement
The White Cement Jordan 4 is one of the cleanest versions of the silhouette. Its white leather upper, grey cement detailing and black accents make it easy to wear with almost anything.
This pair also has a strong cultural connection thanks to its appearance in Do The Right Thing. That helped take the Jordan 4 beyond sport and into film, fashion and street culture.
If you want a Jordan 4 that feels classic but not too dark, White Cement is one of the strongest choices.
Air Jordan 4 Fire Red
The Fire Red Jordan 4 brings the Chicago Bulls colours into a cleaner white-based design. It has red and black hits across the upper and midsole, giving it a sharp, sporty look.
It is ideal if you want a pair that still feels connected to Jordan’s playing career but is easier to style than a mostly black trainer.
Fire Red works especially well with black trousers, light denim, white socks and simple Nike tops. For more options, browse our full Nike trainers range here: [NIKE_URL].
Air Jordan 4 Military Blue
The Military Blue Jordan 4 is different because it steps away from the traditional Bulls colour palette. It uses white, grey and blue tones, giving it a cleaner and slightly cooler look.
Although Michael Jordan did not make this colourway as famous on court as some of the others, it has become a favourite among collectors and everyday sneaker fans because it is so wearable.
Which OG Jordan 4 colourway is best?
If you want the most iconic pair, go for Black/Cement. If you want the cleanest everyday option, White Cement is hard to beat. If you want something sporty, Fire Red works well. If you want something different but still classic, Military Blue is a great choice.
