Original Story (06/27/24): It appears that one of the all-time sneaker grails is making a comeback.
According to Elden Monitors, an UNDEFEATED x Air Jordan 4 is set to release in 2025 in a Deep Green/Clementine color scheme. This is the same color combo as the OG UNDEFEATED Jordan 4, an ultra rare, highly coveted sneaker originally released in 2005 with only 72 pairs made.
2025 marks the 20th anniversary of this release, as well as the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan line, and the return of an icon such as this one would be a great way to celebrate. The sneaker is considered a grail not only for its rarity, but also for its historic significance, as it was the first ever Jordan sneaker collaboration to be released.
The design of the OG UNDEFEATED x Air Jordan 4 was inspired by military aesthetics, its olive and orange color schemed pulled from MA-1 bomber flight jackets. It is currently unknown if this 2025 release will be an exact retro of the original or if any modifications will be made. We’ll have a better idea as we get closer to the release and first look images surface.
The return of the UNDEFEATED x Air Jordan 4 is not completely out of the blue. A sample pair from 2017 has made its rounds online, possibly indicating that this retro release has been years in the making.
The UNDEFEATED x Air Jordan 4 “Deep Green” is slated for a Summer 2025 release, likely dropping via UNDFTD, SNKRS, and select retailers. Check out the OG 2005 version below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for updates.
Update (09/05/24): According to zSneakerHeadz, there will be two versions of the UNDEFEATED x Air Jordan 4 dropping in 2025. One is an “Retro OG” version with Nike Air branding on the heels, while the other is a standard “Retro” with the original Jumpman logo branding. Also, the footwear will release alongside an UNDEFEATED x Jordan MA-1 Flight Jacket that will retail for $325. Stay tuned for more.
