Whether the kids in your life have plans for summer camps, family vacations, or, hopefully, plenty of free time to loiter with their friends outside, they’ll definitely need some new shoes for the warmer months. Luckily, Jordan is showing out for the kids, so they can show up fresh to summer school, the cousin’s house, or the 7-11 parking lot.
The Air Jordan 4 Retro Black Infrared 23 starts with a clean upper covered in soft black nubuck that’s perfect for hiding the dirt and grime of summer play. Bright accents in Barely Volt green fill in the netting on the vamp and side panels for some kid-friendly color, and last but not least, Infrared pops from the midsole, outsole, and Jumpman logo on the tongue tag.

A perfect shoe for pretending the ground is lava, the youth-exclusive colorway is the latest in Jordan’s long push to craft the next generation of sneakerheads. Unlike many numbered Jordans for the kids, though, this pair won’t be available in matching adult sizes, sorry, pops.
The Air Jordan 4 Retro Black Infrared 23 will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in grade school, pre-school, and toddler sizing, the retail prices are set at $165 (GS), $105 (PS), and $90 (TD).
