Air Jordan 4 Black Cement 1989 History

Not many people wanted to purchase a pair of Air Jordan 4 back in 1989 with a $110 price tag. Still, many historic moments came with the “Black Cement” Jordan 4. Michael Jordan wore the shoes during the 1989 NBA All-Star Game and dropped 28 points against the West, which wasn’t enough. In the Playoffs, the Chicago Bulls took on the Cleveland Cavaliers, where Michael Jordan hit “The Shot” against Craig Ehlo.

Dressed in a Black and Cement Grey color scheme. There is nothing like the original pair regarding the shape, which is always what people hope for on the retro releases. Constructed with Black nubuck on the upper, with the same shade on the mesh netting across the panels and tongues. Cement Grey appears on the eyelets and part of the midsole, while White wraps the visible Air unit in the heels. Other details include Nike Air branding on the heels and Red accents.

Each pair comes housed in the original packaging, consisting of a Black lid and cement print on the box. Furthermore, the pair comes with a Red Nike Air hang tag.

The Air Jordan 4 OG “Black Cement” was released on February 1, 1989, and retailed for $110. Furthermore, the shoes were available in adult and kids sizes.
