The Jordan brand will end February strong with the release of the Air Jordan 4 "Oreo," aka Retro "Tech Grey." The label announced a 2015 release of a shoe described as "OG style" and called "Remastered" last year, reports Sneaker Bar Detroit. Ever since, AJ fans have been waiting for the shoes' release.
The wait is over for the remastered-version of the AJ IV as it will be released this Saturday, February 21, 2015, according to Nike. Sneaker News notes that it can be bought on Nike.com or select Jordan Brand retailers.
The sneakers are priced at $190 on Nike.com, however the price may vary according to size. Nike reports that the shoe comes in full family sizes. Sizes 3.5Y to 7Y will cost $140 and sizes 10.5c to 3Y will cost $80. Sizes ranging from 2c-10c will cost $60.
There is a limit of one pair of sneakers per customer. The limit was probably implemented because people are expected to hoard the shoes and sell it on Ebay for a higher price.
There are already listings for the sneakers on Ebay, with prices ranging from $178 up to $300. Despite the prices on Ebay, though, this pair of Jordan sneakers are decently-priced compared to other AJ shoes.
The official name of the shoe is Air Jordan 4 Retro "Tech Grey." Nike.com reports that the shoes official colors are Black and Tech Grey Black.
However, some Jordan fans often refer to it as the "Oreo" for its seeming similarities with the original Air Jordan IV "Oreo," reports Wear Testers. In fact, Sneaker News believes that the shoes have an "Oreo" colorway, despite being dubbed the "Tech Grey" colorway.
The color black dominates the shoe, including the entire outsole, says Kicks On Fire. However, the shoe does have a two-tone palette. Sneaker News describes the shoe as having grey-speckled plastic eyelets and midsoles.
All sites state that the shoe is made of premium tumbled leather. Kicks on Fire notes that there is a bubble unit at the heel. In addition, the jumpman logo can be seen at the tongue, insoles, outsole and rear of the shoes.
The shoe was originally released back in the year 1999, according to Nike. According to Kicks On Fire, the remastered shoe stays true to the original design, with a few enhancements. A new manufacturing process, done by the label, make remastered shoes similar to the originals in quality, look, and feel.
