Nike Air Jordan IV ‘Wahlburger’

This pair of ultra-exclusive Air Jordan IVs were first spotted on the actor Mark Wahlberg’s feet at the June 2018 opening of his restaurant, Wahlburger’s at the Mall of America. Though the sneakers were initially a custom pair made for Mark Wahlberg, there was an unexpected public demand for a release of the collaboration.

In Fall 2018 Nike created 3000 pairs of the sneakers for Wahlberg to give away to a few lucky fans through a charity contest. The money was raised in collaboration with the Entertainment Industry Foundation to be given away to first responders and victims of the California wildfires. Winners were also given the opportunity to video chat with the actor.

The Air Jordan IV, one of the most popular models of Air Jordans was created by famed Nike designer Tinker Hatfield. It was the second Air Jordan model that Tinker designed and the second one to feature visible Air. The Air Jordan IV originally came out in 1989 with 4 colors: white and cement grey, white black and red, off-white and military blue, and black and red (Bred). Because of its popularity the Air Jordan IV has seen many innovative collaborations throughout its history.

This pair of Air Jordan IV’s features a Green-based upper with Black detailing, a removable Wahlburger’s logo on the tongue and translucent eyelets and outsole.
