It’s been a floral spring in the sneaker industry. From a collection of Air Force 1s expanding its annual rose theme to include cherry blossoms and blue bells to Jordan cleats and pedal-covered collabs from the likes of Asics and adidas, 2026 has seen exclusive colorways go full bloom across brands. On the latest garden party pair, Jordan is taking inspiration from one of our favorite tropical buds, the bird of paradise.
The Air Jordan 4 Retro Birds of Paradise is a women’s exclusive pair that combines subtle shades of Coconut Milk and Muslin with hits of Metallic Gold, Sundial, and Bright Mango to replicate the flower’s bright orange mohawk that makes it look like an island bird ready to take flight. Material-wise, the upper starts with a suede toe and switches to leather on the rest, before adding the bright colors in a gradient mix to the midsole beneath, with gold accents added on the heel branding, as well.

Making sure the theme comes through to consumers, the pair is expected to come in a special box adorned with a gold Jumpman logo surrounded by birds of paradise flower graphics. On the outsole, a bit of translucent clear paneling adds a hit of classic Jordan energy.
The Air Jordan 4 Retro Birds of Paradise (W) will be released Fall 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at $220. To stay up on all the latest Air Jordan news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
