In the ever-evolving world of sneakers, few silhouettes carry the cultural weight of the Air Jordan 4, with several classic colorways released over the years. One example is the “Toro Bravo,” a bold, fire-red edition that first hit shelves in 2013. Now, more than a decade later, Jordan Brand is bringing it back.
When the “Toro Bravo” first dropped in 2013, it wasn’t just another Jordan 4—it was a statement. Featuring a striking red nubuck upper offset by black and white accents, the sneaker took the clean, structured lines of the Air Jordan 4 and gave them a new, fiery energy.
This bold rendition of Michael Jordan’s fourth signature sneaker comes dressed in a vibrant Fire Red, grounding the design in classic Bulls-inspired aesthetics. While not part of the original 1989 colorway lineup, this release seamlessly fits into the legacy of Chicago-themed Air Jordans.
The popularity of the original 2013 release has only continued to grow over time. As resale prices have climbed and unworn pairs have become increasingly scarce, the call for a re-release has grown louder across forums, social media, and sneaker blogs. Now, Jordan Brand is answering. With the 2013 pair now comfortably in the “classic” category, it’s the perfect time to reintroduce it to both longtime fans and a new generation of sneakerheads.
The 2026 Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” is expected to drop on May 23rd via SNKRS and select retailers. Stay tuned to Modern Notoriety as we await first looks and further updates.
