The frustrating saga of the Kaws x Air Jordan 4 release continues, this time with some good news for those who haven't been able to secure the shoes yet. Kaws provided an update on the online release of this limited Air Jordan collaboration via his Instagram on Monday, suggesting those hoping to purchase the shoes would need to subscribe to the mailing list on his website for updates.

While many assumed that the shoes would release via the site on Friday and spent hours sitting in front of their computers waiting for such a release to materialize, the artist clarified via Instagram that he always announces releases on his website via a mailer sent the day before the product goes live.

Online release aside, many walked away from the Kaws x Air Jordan 4 release event held at the Brooklyn Museum on Friday feeling frustrated after waiting in line for hours only to be turned away and denied the ability to purchase the shoes.

UPDATE 4/14: On Friday, Kaws confirmed in the below Instagram post that his Air Jordan 4 collaboration will release online via his site. In the caption for the post, Kaws reiterates that specific release info will be sent via his email newsletter.

Update 4/20: Details have been unveiled regarding the upcoming online launch of the Kaws x Air Jordan 4. Beginning at 12 p.m. EST on Friday, April 21, you will be able to register on Kawsone.com for a chance to buy the coveted collaboration. Winners of the random lottery will be notified by Monday, April 24 at 12 p.m. EST.
