2015

The Air Jordan IV, one of the most popular models of Air Jordans was created by famed Nike designer Tinker Hatfield. It was the second Air Jordan model that Tinker designed and the second one to feature visible Air. The Air Jordan IV originally came out in 1989 with 4 colors: white and cement grey, white black and red, off-white and military blue, and black and red (Bred). Because of its popularity the Air Jordan IV has seen many innovative collaborations throughout its history. 


In 2015, rapper Eminem and iconic workwear brand Carhartt teamed up with the Jordan brand to create the exclusive Eminem x Carhartt x Air Jordan IV ‘Black Chrome’. Originally gifted to the rapper’s friends and family, and additional ten pairs were created to sell at an eBay Auction to benefit the Marshall Mathers Foundation. The auction ultimately raised $227,000, and supported Michigan State University’s Community Music School’s efforts to provide enrollment to local students.

 

The upper is made out of Carhartt canvas, and other features include graphics from Eminem and Shady Records, including Eminem’s trademark hockey mask and backwards “E” logo on the heel.
