Air Jordan 4 Cool Grey 2004 History
In 2004, the first Retro of the Air Jordan 4 was released since 2000 and was nicknamed “Cool Grey” due to the colorway. The shoes were an instant hit, and many loved the color mashup.
Celebrities, including Nelly, were also spotted wearing the shoes on stage at a concert. This helped push the hype for the sneakers at the time.
Dressed in a Cool Grey, Chrome, Dark Charcoal, and Varsity Maize color scheme. It is constructed with nubuck on the upper in Cool Grey, with the same shade on the wings and mesh on the panels and tongues. White appears on the tongue Jumpman and most of the midsole surrounding the visible Air unit. The “Flight” branding on the tongues features Varsity Maize with the same treatment as the “Air Jordan” label on the inside of the tongue. Chrome forms the heel Jumpman logo, and Black appears on the eyelets, liner, and lower midsole. Lastly, Black, White, and Yellow covers the rubber outsole.
The original “Cool Grey” Jordan 4 came with a Silver and Black box with lines that formed Michael Jordan’s face. Also included was a retro card.
Like most pairs from the early 2000s, the shoes are no longer wearable. The midsoles are soft and, when pressure is applied, will deteriorate. Also, the Chrome Jumpman on the heels has chipped.
