We’ve spent plenty of time hyping up the lineup of 2025 Jordan releases, but 2026 is looking mighty strong (and expensive) as well. A few months ago, we reported that the Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” — arguably one of the best non-OG Jordan 4 styles of all time — is poised to return next year. Now, first-look images posted by @xcsnkr give us a glimpse of what to expect.
The only real difference between the 2013 and 2026 editions is the shape. Jordan Brand shifted to a more streamlined, less boxy silhouette following the release of the Jordan 4 SB “Pine Green” in 2023 — and albeit not the highest-quality first look image, that difference is already visible when compared to the 2013 edition (pictured below). We’ll also note that the sneaker stays true to the original with a Jumpman logo on the heel instead of Nike Air, a detail Jordan Brand also brought back for the recent Undefeated 4s retro and the upcoming “Black Cat” 4s later this year. Both of those pairs also originally featured Jumpman branding.

As for the rest of the design, the sneaker mirrors the 2013 pair with a “Fire Red” nubuck upper, black heel and wings, and “Cement Grey” on the eyestays, tongue tag, lining, and outsole. The Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” is closely tied to the Jordan 5 “Raging Bull” Pack from 2009, which featured a black colorway as well as a red colorway that closely borders the aesthetic of the 4s. This marks the
Jordan Brand hasn’t gone public with a release date for the “Toro Bravo” 4s as of this writing, but early rumors point toward a May 23rd, 2026 launch. Stay tuned for updates, including in-hand first looks, official images, and more.
