A new kids-only Air Jordan 4 is on the way. The Air Jordan 4 "Deep Royal Blue" (IU4601-400) is reported for February 1, 2027, per JustFreshKicks, which shows retailer photos from JD Sports UK. Nike hasn't posted a date yet, so treat it as reported.
The upper is a bright royal blue nubuck with light blue on the eyelets and speckled midsole, black on the lower heel and outsole, and red on the Flight tongue patch. Kid-friendly touches include cloud graphics on the insoles and a removable "J #23" hangtag.
It comes in grade school ($165), preschool ($105) and toddler ($90) sizes only. Grown-ups will notice it borrows the color blocking of the Eminem x Air Jordan 4, which Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg said won't return in 2027.
Our take: this is about as close as most people will get to the Eminem 4s, and it's for kids. Parents with small feet: this is your moment. Everyone else, enjoy the photos.
