The Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Red Thunder' features a familiar color block reminiscent of the coveted 'Thunder' colorway, which was originally released in 2006 and re-released in 2012. The midsole includes a black nubuck curved surface with purple details instead of the old yellow details of the Tour shoe. These details appear on the cables, inner tongue, side panel, collar, and midsole, which features visible air cushioning under the heel. The Jumpman logo adorns the tongue tag and heel.
