Jordan Brand is adapting the original Air Jordan 4’s familiar black-and-red look for the football field.
The Jordan 4 Retro TD “Bred” is scheduled for November 27 at a listed price of $205. The cleat takes the visual identity of Michael Jordan’s 1989 basketball shoe into a different sport while retaining its recognizable upper.
Nike’s SNKRS listing identifies the release as style HQ0207-001. The palette combines black, Cement Grey, white and Fire Red, referencing one of the original Air Jordan 4 colorways.
The upper uses a combination of real and synthetic leather, with textile sections for breathability. Traditional lacing and the raised collar preserve the shape associated with the basketball model, even as the construction is redirected toward football.
Underneath, the change is much more substantial: wide molded studs replace the familiar basketball outsole. Nike describes the plate as suitable for turf and grass, with traction intended to support quick direction changes.
Jordan Brand also pairs the design with foam and Air Zoom cushioning, according to Hypebeast’s release report. The result puts a familiar retro appearance above a sole built around a different set of movements.
The release extends a design whose history includes Jordan’s 1989 playoff-winning shot against Cleveland. For football players drawn to that era of the brand, the November drop offers the “Bred” look in equipment made for their own field.
