The Air Jordan IV shoe was first released in 1989, designed once again by Tinker Hatfield. It wasn't as revolutionary as the first three models, but it still became the first released Jordan shoe on the world market, with some exceptions. Its cushioning sole and design made it an international bestseller.In 2006 Nike released many Retro packages of the IV, including "Mars Blackmons" ("Laser Red" IV's with Spike Lee's alter ego on the heel), "Military Blues", and the $500 "Thunder and Lightning" package.Also in 2006, the "retro'ed" version of the Jordan IV's came in the exclusive colorway in solid black and solid white.
