Air Jordan 4 Mist Blue 2006 History

In 2006, many nicknamed the shoes “Melo” after Carmelo Anthony, a Jordan Brand athlete. He played for the Denver Nuggets, whose color scheme matched the team uniform. Several other retros launched around the same time in a similar colorway, nicknamed after Melo.

Launched in June 2006, the “Mist Blue” Air Jordan 4 was part of Jordan Brand’s lifestyle collection. Only select stores would have the shoes, and they would only be released in adult sizes. Furthermore, matching apparel was also available.

Dressed in a Mist Blue, University Blue, Gold Leaf, and White color combination. It is constructed with a Greyish Blue nubuck on the upper with University Blue on the wings, translucent eyelets, most of the midsole, and rubber outsole. Gold Leaf appears on the tongue and heel of the Jumpman logo as well as on the inside of the tongue. Lastly, White fills in some of the midsole to finish the look.

Unfortunately, the shoes are no longer wearable due to age and the midsole crumbling. Also, the plastic Jumpman on the heel has started to break off on some pairs but could be replaced.
