Air Jordan 4 “Bling” (Chrome) 2000

The Air Jordan 4 “Bling” 2000, aka “Chrome,” was the first pair of AJ4s to launch in the new decade. Originally released on April 29, 2000, the retail price was $100. This marks the third pair to lack mesh; the model was designed by Tinker Hatfield and was part of the Retro+ series.

Air Jordan 4 Bling 2000 History

Some say a successful Air Jordan 4 Retro release must contain a mesh side panel. And when the “Bling” was first released, the shoes sat on shelves, resulting in them going below retail. However, due to nostalgia, most people look back on the pair and instantly think it’s a classic. This also goes for the other two pairs that feature leather perforations. One of the first retros to launch in the 2000s, the shoes come in a simple color blocking.

Dubbed “Bling” and “White Chrome,” the shoes are dressed in a White, White, and Chrome color combination. With Summer vibes, the shoes come with White leather across the upper that covers the panel perforations and tongues. The “Bling” element arrives in the form of Chrome, which hits the eyelets and Jumpman on the heels. Other details include a visible Air unit in the heel, Flight on the tongues, and a White rubber sole.

Due to the mostly White takeover, the shoes have yellowed over time. Like many other early 2000s pairs, the “Bling” Jordan 4 is not wearable. Most of the midsoles have crumbled, and the Jumpman on the heels have chipped away. However, you could do a sole swap and heel replacement, and the shoes will be good to go.

As for packaging, this pair was housed in a Silver Jordan box like most around the 2000s. Furthermore, this was the era of retro cards. Most want retro cards to return, but for those who want to reach back and buy this pair, make sure the seller has the card with them.
