The sneaker world is buzzing with excitement as Air Jordan teams up once again with BMX legend Nigel Sylvester for the highly anticipated release of the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 RM 'Grandma's Driveway'. This marks the first-ever collaboration on the all-new Air Jordan 4 RM, and it’s clear that this drop was worth the five-year wait.
Nigel Sylvester, hailing from Queens, New York, has become an icon in the BMX community. Best known for his groundbreaking film series *Go*, which offers a first-hand POV of his rides across famous landmarks, Sylvester has carved out a unique space in the sports world. Despite not competing in professional events, his impact was recognized when Forbes included him in their "30 Under 30" list in 2017 under the sports category. His love for BMX began on his grandma's driveway, a touching tribute that inspired this special edition sneaker.
The Air Jordan 4, a beloved silhouette for 35 years, has been reimagined with the Air Jordan 4 RM, featuring a sleek low-top design for the first time. The 'Grandma's Driveway' edition is draped in lush ‘Pro Green’ suede, reminiscent of the fence surrounding Sylvester’s grandmother’s yard. The sneaker also boasts a rubber caging system unique to this model, cotton laces, and a blacked-out midsole infused with Air technology for enhanced comfort and bounce. T.McFly, one of the lucky few, got the early release of the beautiful sneaker.
One of the standout features is the white Swoosh stitched along the lateral toe, while the classic “Nike Air” logo on the heel is playfully replaced with “Bike Air,” paying homage to Sylvester’s BMX roots. The insoles feature co-branded detailing, and the sneakers come packaged in an exclusive shoebox adorned with stickers and childhood photographs of Sylvester.
The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 RM 'Grandma's Driveway' is set to release on July 20 through Nike, the SNKRS app, and select stockists worldwide, retailing at $150. Given the hype and unique design, resale prices are expected to soar, potentially reaching double or triple the retail price.
