Nigel Sylvester had already established himself as a BMX legend before becoming a major player in the sneaker industry. Sylvester's incredibly popular Air Jordan collaborations have made him one of the most valuable athletes on the Jordan Brand roster.

In March, Sylvester hand-delivered his latest Air Jordan 4 collaboration to Michael Jordan himself. After months of anticipation, the BIKE AIR x Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 "Brick After Brick" finally drops this upcoming week. Below is a detailed look and breakdown of what fans must know.

Colorway Details

Sylvester and Jordan picked up where they left off with their last successful collaboration. Continuing the "Brick by Brick" theme, the silhouette sports a Sail upper with Cinnabar detailing. Shades of Muslin provide a retro aesthetic while the Anthracite accents complete the BMX-drive aesthetic.

Most of the original Air Jordan 4 details remain the same. The Jumpman logo pops off the tongue, but the iconic "Nike Air" branding is replaced with "Bike Air" on the heels. Best of all, the shoes come with three sets of laces (Sail, Anthracite, Cinnabar) with "Brick" branding. The "Bike Air" hangtag provides the final touch.

The Air Jordan 4 is no longer suitable for the basketball court, but Sylvester has proven that the old-school hoop shoe is perfect for BMX. It features premium leather with breathable mesh netting on the side panels.

Meanwhile, a Polyurethane foam and an encapsulated Air unit in the heel offer durable support. Lastly, the multi-directional herringbone traction offers plenty of grip on the solid rubber outsole. The retro basketball shoes are comfortable enough to wear all day, even for Jordan to wear at Disney World.

Who could have dreamed back in 1989 that Jordan's fourth signature sneaker would have transcended basketball to become a staple among different sports over 35 years later? Thanks to Jumpman's trust in Sylvester, the Air Jordan 4 is still dominating summer after all these years.
