The Air Jordan 4 “Infrared 23” is starting to look like one of Jordan Brand’s more playful Summer 2026 kids releases. Even though the calendar just turned to April, this is usually the point when seasonal retros begin leaning into brighter color stories, and this pair fits that shift perfectly.
Built exclusively for kids, the sneaker arrives with a black suede upper that gives the design a clean and grounded base. From there, Jordan Brand adds energy through Barely Volt accents on the mesh netting and tongue area, helping the shoe feel more vivid without overloading the build. The real punch comes lower on the shoe, where Bright Mango and Infrared 23 work together across the midsole and outsole. That mix creates a bold contrast, while the gradient treatment near the heel and speckled detailing give the pair even more character.
This Air Jordan 4 also keeps things traditional on the back with Jumpman branding instead of Nike Air. The packaging appears to nod to Jordan releases from the mid-2000s as well, which adds a subtle retro touch outside of the shoe itself.
