Jordan Brand’s plans for fall and winter continue to leak early in the year. Just before the holiday season, they plan to drop a new Air Jordan 4 in a familiar color scheme.

Mocked up above, the upcoming retro is being dubbed “Red Thunder” by some because of similarities shared with the yellow-accented “Thunder” Jordan 4. It’s believed that the shoe will come dressed in black, white, and red, with red hits in place of yellow. The “Thunder” Jordan 4 originally released in 2006 and retroed in 2012, selling out instantly both times.

According to  ZSneakerheadz and DJ Folk, the “Red Thunder” colorway is expected to be released on Oct. 2 for $190. Stick with us for a first look at the retro in the coming months.

UPDATE (09/24): Official product images have surfaced of the “Red Thunder” Air Jordan 4 ahead of the shoe’s rumored Oct. 2 release date. Grab a closer look below.

UPDATE (12/27): Initially slated to hit shelves in October, the “Red Thunder” Jordan 4 will now release on Jan. 15, 2022, per zSneakerheadz.
