We’ve had the same rumor around the release of the Jordan 4 Lightning circulating for years now! Ever since it first dropped in 2006, we’ve been hoping and praying that it returns! Let’s not hope this time it’s a legit release, fam! Or else, we’re gonna be super pissed.
This time at least we know that it will be celebrating its 15th anniversary. So, we’ve got some solid foundations to build our hopes on! The Jordan brand did promise to bring back an entire slate of the Jordan 4s. We started out with Fire Red, then moved on to the University Blue and Tech Grey.
The first release of the Jordan 4 Lightning featured a super limited drop with very limited quantities. It dropped alongside Thunder – both inspired by the seasonal strip of MJ’s former motorcycle racing team.
This will be the very FIRST release after the original online-exclusive release on August 23rd, 2006. It still remains one of the most iconic Jordan silhouettes and holds GRAIL status for a lot of us!
What Does This Yellow AJ4 Feature?
The Jordan 4 Lightning colorway has been MIA since ‘06. It features a Tour Yellow, White, and Dark Blue Grey color scheme. It has vibrant Tour Yellow nubuck suede uppers with specks of grey and jet black netting on the white midsole. We’ve got the perfect hints of contrasting colors all throughout the sneakers!
The sneaker finishes off with dark grey rubber outsoles with white detailing and a yellow Jumpman logo. It also has a white midsole underfoot that has a visible Air unit. This is a promise to very comfortable sneakers with epic cushioning!

You can get your hands on a pair of these Jordan 4 Lightning sneakers before the release. Of course, it’ll cost you more. But, it will be a 100% guaranteed chance that you will actually get a pair. This is an option for those copping without a sneaker bot. The ones who KNOW that they do not have a chance.
Check Flight Club or GOAT to cop these Jordan before or even after the release. BUT, keep reading to find out where you can cop it at retail (for sneaker botting only)!
Where to Buy the Air Jordan 4 Lightning
This release is one for the books, that’s for sure. The Jordan 4 Lightning is the long-awaited sneaker drop that EVERYONE wants part of. Needless to say, this won’t be an easy drop!
So, in other words, what we’re trying to say is that you’ve got to bring out your A-game. That means using a sneaker bot for this drop. Also, keep in mind that you’ll probably need some proxies and maybe a server as well. This is especially important if you wanna cop in bulk.
