Nike SB and Jordan Brand were originally set to release the highly anticipated “Varsity Red” iteration of the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 following the success of the “Pine Green” version launched in 2023. This crossover, which pays homage to Nike SB pioneer Sandy Bodecker, was designed to capture sneaker culture’s essence with its clean summit white upper accented by varsity red highlights on the eyelets, midsole, and heel tab.
The design was exciting enough to keep sneaker enthusiasts buzzing, especially considering the acclaimed “Pine Green” model that featured a gum bottom and clean aesthetics. Just as those models drew interest leading up to their releases, the anticipated February 2025 date for “Varsity Red” had fans eager for more details.
However, in a sudden turn of events, the release has now been cancelled, leaving many pondering the fate of this vibrant colorway. Fans can stay updated through Nice Kicks’ Instagram and their dedicated Air Jordan release dates page for potential future launches and announcements.
