The Air Jordan 4 “Black Laser” 2005 was the second AJ4 released with laser print across the upper. With a release date of August 20, 2005, the retail price was $175. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the shoes were a Quickstrike.

Air Jordan 4 Black Laser 2005 History

In 2005, Jordan Brand experienced with the Air Jordan 4 by adding laser print to the upper. Two pairs were released; the second is known as “Black Laser.” Unlike the “White Laser” iteration, the shoes did not come with a shirt and hat but retailed for $25 less. Furthermore, the “Black Laser” iteration is the more sought-after of the two.

This Air Jordan 4 comes dressed in a Black, Varsity Red, and Medium Grey color scheme. It is constructed with Black leather across the upper joined by laser print that features different Air Jordan models, eyelets, and heel tabs. Medium Grey adorns the heels and part of the midsole, while the eyelets are given a translucent finish. Red lands on the metallic Jumpman, liner, laces, and branding. Other details include a visible Air unit and Black on the lower part of the midsole and rubber outsole.

Over time, some of the shoes’ downfalls are the eyelets that could break and the Jumpman on the heel. This is due to age and the plastic materials. Like most pairs from the early 2000s, they are not wearable. The midsoles are soft and would deteriorate from wear. If you would like to wear them, you’ll have to have a sole swap done.
