As previously stated, the Air Jordan 4 “Oxidized Green” slides into a packed year of releases for the silhouette, following the return of iconic editions like the “Bred Reimagined” and “Military Blue,” as well as a selection of new formulations like the “Vivid Sulfur” and “Hyper Royal.” That said, this pair has more in common with the latter two than it does with OG colorways. The faux-aged midsole is just one aspect that ties it to the recent AJ4 canon. Additionally, the influence of the Jordan 4 “Classic Green” can’t be ignored, creating a deep lineage that later blossomed into a full-fledged collection with 2020’s “Metallic Pack.” Regardless of the inspiration behind its design, the “Oxidized Green” plays off the success of other previous green-dominant iterations of Mike’s fourth signature, presenting an alternative to more limited sneakers like the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4.
