As one of the first non-original colors, the revered Jordan 4 Retro Cool Grey (2004) became a coveted and rare sneaker for its stylish, classic appeal. Jordan enthusiasts worldwide welcomed the color's re-release, which was timed to celebrate the Air Jordan 4's 30th anniversary. It also marked 15 years from the debut of the Cool Grey colorway.

The Air Jordan 4 Retro Cool Grey replicates the exact look as the original release. It features an upper in grey nubuck with black accents, paired with a white midsole. Pops of yellow appear on the tongue’s Flight logo, along with the Air Jordan patch on the inside. A visible Air unit and multicolored outsole are accented by chrome Jumpman logos on each heel to update the style's classic look.

In our opinion the strict adherence to the shoe’s original design is the Retro Cool Grey’s best feature. The Jordan 4 Retro Cool Grey (2004) released 25th September 2004 for $100.
