Mangomeee Tell You Sneaker Story: Reps JORDAN 4
In 1978, Nike survived the crisis without any danger, and had a profound impact on the subsequent sneaker culture. AJ3 successfully retained Michael Jordan, and designer Tinker Hatfield worked with him during the design process. Jordan's frequent communication made them friends and they were full of trust in each other. Jordan Brand was able to continue, designer Tinker became well known, and people looked forward to the subsequent AJ series.
Different from the design ideas of the previous generation, Tinker hopes to make a breakthrough in the performance of Reps Jordan 4. For the first time, it uses durabuck material to make the upper, combined with polyurethane material and overmolding mesh technology, to achieve lightweight at the same time. For the purpose of heat dissipation, support wings are added to the rear part of the Reps Jordan 4 to improve stability and ankle wrapping. The flight logo appears on the tongue for the first time, marking a new era of Nike reps sneakers planning. The midsole continues the configuration of AJ3, using front and rear air cushion configuration. The rear palm is a visible window air cushion.
Jordan's performance in the 1988-89 season was still strong. On May 7, 1989, in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs between the Bulls and the Cavaliers, Jordan won the game with a mid-air shot. "The shot" became a classic. Such a strong performance was not added to the reps sneakers and the response of Reps Jordan 4 was mediocre. Nike still invited director Spike Lee to shoot advertisements for Reps Jordan 4. Spike Lee also brought Reps Jordan 4 into the movie he shot in the same year< Among
