Following the circulation of rumors this week about Jordan Brand producing a sneaker in collaboration with artist Kaws, both entities have confirmed that a project is on the way in 2017. Kaws posted about the shoes on his Instagram on Jan. 9, with Jordan Brand following suit the next day.
Neither has confirmed what the collaboration will consist of in terms of actual product, but images are circulating now of a Kaws x Air Jordan 4. Reputable sneaker info leaker @_po2345 mentioned on Twitter that the pair leaked this week is not the final version that will be available at retail.

While Kaws has never worked on Air Jordan product before, he's designed collab versions of the Air Max 90 Current and Air Force 1 for Nike.
