Jordan Brand and J Balvin continue their collaborative run with a reported Air Jordan 4 OG “Lemonade.” After previous projects centered on the Air Jordan 1, 2, and 3, the partnership now turns to one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the Jordan archive.

Early attention around the project began after Balvin appeared in Medellín wearing a vibrant, multi-colored patchwork sample. That version sparked speculation about the direction of the collaboration, though current reports point toward a different retail execution. Instead of the patchwork look, the public release reportedly arrives in a bold monochromatic colorway labeled “Lemonade/Lemonade,” signaling a saturated yellow finish across the shoe.
The Air Jordan 4 OG “Lemonade” reportedly adopts a sun-heavy yellow palette tied closely to Balvin’s “Colores” aesthetic. The color code suggests a uniform application across the upper, sole unit, and detailing, creating a single-tone visual approach rather than layered contrast. While official imagery has not surfaced, expectations center on a triple-yellow execution that pushes color as the primary design driver. Reports indicate the inclusion of J Balvin’s recognizable smiley face logo, a recurring element across his previous Jordan releases. The logo has functioned as a visual signature within the partnership, often appearing as a subtle but identifiable marker.
The Air Jordan 4 OG “Lemonade” also reportedly brings back “Nike Air” branding on the heel. This detail appeared on earlier samples worn by Balvin as well as DJ Khaled, reinforcing its likelihood on the retail version. For many collectors, the presence of “Nike Air” remains a key detail tied to OG Jordan 4 executions. Balvin’s Jordan projects have followed a clear numerical progression, moving step by step through Michael Jordan’s early signature line. With the Air Jordan 4, the collaboration reaches a silhouette long associated with performance roots and cultural visibility.
The rumored retail price of $225 USD positions the release within the higher tier of collaborative Jordan models. That pricing reflects both the OG status of the Air Jordan 4 and the continued demand surrounding Balvin’s partnership with Jordan Brand. As of now, Jordan Brand and Nike have not released official product images or campaign details. Information remains based on reports and early sightings, with confirmation expected closer to the Fall 2026 release window.
