J. Balvin is Launching a Lemonade Air Jordan 4 Collaboration in Fall 2026

After dominating the global charts, reggaeton superstar J. Balvin joined the sneaker world when he teamed up with Jordan Brand back in 2020 on the multi-color tie-dye Air Jordan 1 High. Since then, we’ve seen Balvin work up the retro Jordan ladder in numerical order, dropping his take on the AJ 2 in 2022 and two Jordan 3s, one in 2023 and another in 2024. Since then, we’ve all been waiting for Balvin to reveal his next collab, which we all assumed would be on the Jordan 4. Our hopes were fulfilled when Balvin was spotted on stage with a new multi-color patchwork AJ 4. While DJ Khaled is now in possession of this 1-of-1 sample, Sole Retriever can confirm that J. Balvin will launch his own Jordan 4 come Fall 2026.

As of this writing, we have no images of J. Balvin’s upcoming Air Jordan 4 collab, but we do have the official color code. The sneaker is listed as “Lemonade/Lemonade,” which doesn’t leave much to the imagination. It’s possible the sneaker will come covered in this yellow hue, but there’s still a chance that we get a wild and vibrant take like his previous Jordan releases and his AJ 4 sample. Expect Balvin to make the sneaker personal, drawing inspiration from his heritage or personal life, like his AJ 3 inspired by Medellín sunsets and his other AJ 3 for his son Rio.

Balvin has always been open in sharing progress on his Jordan collaborations, giving us early teasers of all of his prior projects in the months leading up to the release. With that said, expect to see Balvin and fellow Jordan Brand associate DJ Khaled wearing the sneaker in the near future.

The J. Balvin x Air Jordan 4 Retro Lemonade will be released Fall 2026 through J. Balvin’s online store, Nike SNKRS, and select retailers online and in-store.
