Our reading
The Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Hang Time’ is getting a new colorway, but only for kids. That’s right — the sneaker that defined a generation’s basketball swagger is now being sold in sizes that require a parent to tie the laces. The Deep Royal Blue/Black version features a Jumpman logo surrounded by clouds, a removable Velcro patch, and a hangtag keychain. It’s like a grown-up sneaker, but with the responsibility of a toddler’s shoe. The adults will have to wait for the Fire Red and Georgetown colorways, which are presumably for people who don’t need a keychain to keep track of their feet.
