Jordan Brand first debuted the original Air Jordan 4 “Thunder” back in 2006. Little did they know that a highly appealing mini-series of AJ4s would result, forming one of the most-wanted Retro releases year after year.

In 2024, that clean-cut black-on-tone color-blocking returns in a clean white on August 24th, 2024,  and it’ll be at the top of many back-to-school shopping lists.

Although the sneaker has been previewed heavily for nearly a year, with official retailer images being revealed not long ago, the Air Jordan 4 “White Thunder” gets an official preview straight from Jordan Brand.

Although the moniker is sticking for now, some have been bold enough to call these the “Panda” — a nod to the infamously ubiquitous Dunk Low that truly changed the landscape of sneaker collecting and consumer trends.

The Air Jordan 4 isn’t quite the Dunk. It’s not quite the every day sneaker that the low-top model is, but Air Jordan 4s have grown increasingly in general popularity, which suggests that this simple colorway should be a top seller for Jordan during the ever-competitive shopping season before the new school semester starts.

The Air Jordan 4 “White Thunder” is confirmed to arrive on August 24th, 2024 for $215. Full family sizes are confirmed. Grade School pairs are available for $160, while Pre-school and Toddler editions are tagged at $100 and $60, respectively.

The shoes will be available on SNKRS and a full roster of retailers, making for one of the busiest sneaker releases of the month.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
