Jordan Brand has released hundreds of iconic colorways of their massive arsenal of sneakers over the last four decades, but only few have risen to the top as the best of the best. One of these is Undefeated’s take on the Air Jordan 4, a grail-worthy pair released in ultra-limited numbers back in 2005. Now, rumors have begun that the iconic look will return in 2025 for its twentieth anniversary.
Founded in 2002, Undefeated has become a staple of the story of streetwear over the last two decades. The Los Angeles-based retail chain has become a go-to hub for sneakers and apparel in each city where their stores reside, and have even extended across the Pacific Ocean to build a strong presence in Japan and China. Familiarly known as UNDFTD, the brand has also built a strong relationship with Nike over the years, regularly collaborating on some of the Swoosh’s iconic silhouettes from Dunk to Air Forces to Kobe sneakers. However, one project of theirs stands above the rest as a true piece of sneaker history.
In 2005, Undefeated became the first boutique retailer to collaborate with Jordan Brand. They crafted a special release of the Air Jordan 4 inspired by the MA-1 military flight jacket, casting the shoe in olive green nubuck, with black and orange accents, and a velcro tongue patch as an added nod to the iconic coat. Limited to just 72 pairs total, the shoe’s were remarkably hard to get, and to this day have sold for up to $18,000. Now, rumors have begun to surface that the special-edition pair will see a rerelease in Spring 2025. Nothing concrete has been confirmed yet, but the twentieth anniversary of such an iconic silhouette is cause for celebration.

UPDATE 1/2/25: Two different versions of Undefeated’s AJ4 retro are now expected to release; one will have the Jumpman logos on the heels and the other will have the classic Nike Air branding, which did not come on the original release. There are still no photos of the “Deep Green” style, and we are still a ways away from the expected June release.
