While the most anticipated version of the Air Jordan 4 is indeed the White / Cement there is another colorway that we suspect needs to be added to that list. The sneaker will also see a Fire Red release retro that will be as close to the OG’s as ever. This sneak peak was swiped from his soon to be brother in law and it certainly shows that there are some definite perks to being Mike’s relative. Stay tuned for updates.

While the last two red Supra models were blatantly Valentines day themed with names like Society Heartbreaker II and Valentines Day Vaider this latest one keeps its intentions a bit more subtle.

The sneakers upper features a chili red canvas upper with a white outsole for its finish. The pair along with the rest of the Love Pack is available now at the Supra site.
