While we don’t have an official release date, these are supposed to be dropping over in the US on May 13th, so hopefully the UK drop will follow shortly after. Expect regular levels of Air Jordan 4 comfort, as these don’t include the cushioned upgrades that were added to the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “ Pine Green ” that dropped back in March. Another important detail which closely follows the original ‘06 version is the shape of the bottom yellow support Wings, with small triangular side attachments that were not included on the ‘12 edition. A Flight logo is sewn onto the tongue, while on the rear, a white embossed Jumpman stays true to its original ‘06 branding. Yellow mesh underlines the netting on the sidewalls and tongue, making sure the shoe is as breathable as Tinker first designed it to be. Similar to the AJ4 “ Red Thunder ” from last year, the upper arrives formed from a synthetic nubuck, unlike the premium nubuck found on the “Lightning”. Now set to drop in 2023, hype around the silhouette is at an all-time high, with many keen to lace up this early 2000s colourway on their feet. Originally released as part of the two-shoe Thunder and Lightning pack in 2006, the Air Jordan 4 Retro Thunder 2012 dropped six years later. However, it wasn’t long before people were asking where the “Thunder” retro was, a shoe that was released during the same year. In 2021, we saw the AJ4 “ Lightning ” colourway receive a long-awaited retro, capturing the Air Jordan 4 hype at the perfect time. First released in 2006, and then again in 2012, it’s been over a decade since the colourway has been available on shelves, leaving OGs in need of a re-up and the new wave of Jordanheads eager for their first pair. During the mid-2010s, one of the common ‘grails’ for avid Air Jordan 4 fans was the “Thunder” edition. Our 23rd version of the GEL-NIMBUS® continues to make advancements within the lineage by offering improved support and comfort for distance runners.If you watched any of the Nice Kicks “Sneak Peek” videos during the early 2010s, then you will probably remember a number of people flexing their pair of Air Jordan 4 “Thunder”. The components of the GEL-NIMBUS® 23 shoe help increase the softness without forgoing the integrity of the shoe's ride. Simultaneously, the OrthoLite™ X-55 sockliner equips runners with a forgiving, yet responsive stride. Under the toe, the inclusion of gender-specific pillars help cushion the body and help runners experience a softer feel. Also, a gender-specific TRUSSTIC™ device provides an articulated amount of support in the right direction for men and women to help generate a smooth transition. Providing the runner with excellent shock absorption and softness, the GEL-NIMBUS® 23 delivers more compression in the heel thanks to its softer GEL® technology cushioning unit and contoured design lines. Additionally, the shoe's upper is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions.

Engineered eyelet shaping helps the upper move more naturally with the foot, while a stretchy midfoot panel appropriately hugs the foot to generate better flexibility. Constructed with comfort and breathability in mind, this shoe features a softer engineered mesh design for long runs. Its improved stability provides a more balanced stride that's followed by smoother transitions.

The GEL-NIMBUS® 23 running shoe continues to offer excellent comfort and long-run impact absorption.
