Air Jordan 4 'Black & Infrared 23' Releases May 1
Jordan Brand is bringing back the Air Jordan 4 in the signature 'Black & Infrared 23' colorway on May 1st. The pairing of black with infrared accents taps into one of the silhouette's most recognizable palettes, marking another chapter in the AJ4's ongoing retro cycle.

The Air Jordan 4 has established itself as a cornerstone of Jordan Brand's retro calendar, and the 'Black & Infrared 23' iteration exemplifies why the silhouette maintains such gravitational pull within sneaker culture. The infrared accent—a nod to the brand's design language dating back to the original Air Jordan 6—reads as heritage shorthand, a visual throughline connecting decades of Jumpman releases.
This May 1st release positions itself within a broader market context where Jordan 4 availability remains consistent. Currently, KicksUnderCost is tracking 79 Jordan deals across major retailers, with average discounts hovering around 30% off—a helpful reference point for those evaluating full-price entry on new drops. For sizing considerations, the Air Jordan 4 traditionally runs true to size, though those with wider feet should consult our detailed sizing breakdown before committing to a purchase.
The 'Black & Infrared 23' follows the recent momentum of Air Jordan 4 'Bred' releases with OG construction, continuing Jordan Brand's commitment to revisiting core colorways with authentic build quality. The infrared detailing across the tongue, collar, and midsole accents provides just enough visual punctuation to lift an otherwise restrained palette—a design restraint that works in the silhouette's favor.
