Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Thunder' (2023)
Black and Tour Yellow. Storm energy. The Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Thunder' (2023) brings back one of the most beloved and visually striking colorways in AJ4 history — a bold black and chrome yellow combination that earned its 'Thunder' nickname through the electric contrast of dark storm clouds meeting a lightning bolt's brilliant flash. First released in 2006 as part of the LS line and retroed again in 2012, the 2023 retro is the most refined and anticipated return of the 'Thunder' colorway yet.
Black dominates the AJ4's upper panels, mesh inserts, and midsole in a deep, commanding tone, while Tour Yellow — a vivid, chrome yellow — explodes across the outsole, inner lining, lace tips, and accent details in a contrast that feels genuinely electric. The combination is bold without being gaudy, striking without being loud — a shoe that commands attention through the quality of its color story rather than its volume.
The 2023 retro stays true to the 'Thunder' colorway's essential character while bringing updated materials and construction quality to one of the AJ4's most celebrated non-OG colorways. For collectors who missed the 2006 and 2012 releases, the 2023 'Thunder' is the definitive version — and for those who have the originals, it's a worthy companion.
- Black premium leather and mesh upper — deep, commanding black across the AJ4's paneling and midsole

Black storm. Yellow lightning. The Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Thunder' (2023) is the most electric non-OG AJ4 colorway ever produced.
