The Drop
The Jordan 4 Retro Thunder dropped as a GS-exclusive reissue of the iconic 2012 OG colorway—black nubuck upper with contrasting Tour Yellow accents on the midsole, eyelets, and tongue Jumpman. Originally designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Thunder remains one of the most wearable J4 colorways, blending streetwear edge with that classic Bred aesthetic. The 2023 retro brought back the silhouette for a new generation of younger collectors who missed the first run.
Resell Verdict
Fair resell sits around $175, with recent asks ranging $161–194 depending on size and condition. With 87 weekly orders, the Thunder GS sees steady movement but nothing explosive—it's a stable flip, not a hype rocket. Resell will likely hover near retail multiples as long as Jordan Brand doesn't flood the market with restocks. Solid for small margins, aber nichts für große Gewinne overnight.
Fake Tells
- ▸Nubuck texture: Reps often use cheap suede that feels flat; authentic Thunder nubuck has a soft, premium hand
- ▸Jumpman tongue tag: Stitching should be tight and proportional—fakes show sloppy thread spacing or off-center logos
- ▸Midsole paint: Tour Yellow should be clean and even; budget fakes bleed color or show brush strokes along the black midsole edge
Who It's For
Perfect for younger resellers and collectors chasing that OG Jordan vibe without the $400+ price tag of men's sizes. Great rotation sneaker for everyday fits or casual streetwear flexes.
Sizing & Fit
Jordan 4s typically run true to size in GS, though narrower-footed kids might want to go half down for a snugger lockdown.
