Air Jordan 4 ‘Birds of Paradise’ Drops July 10 as a Women’s Exclusive

Air Jordan 4

The Air Jordan 4 “Birds of Paradise” is a women’s exclusive that released on July 10, 2026 at $220, and with official photos out, there is finally a clear look at how the vivid concept translates onto one of the most beloved silhouettes in the line. It is a bold, tropical take on the 4, aimed squarely at the women’s market Jordan Brand has been paying more attention to.

The Air Jordan 4 is a natural canvas for a colorway with this much personality. Its layered, technical construction, the mesh panels, the plastic wings, the visible Air, gives a designer plenty of surfaces to play with, and a “Birds of Paradise” theme leans into that with rich, saturated color. On a shoe as scrutinized as the 4, a vivid women’s-exclusive make-up is a way to offer something the endless retros do not.

That women’s-exclusive framing matters. Jordan Brand has historically leaned heavily toward men’s sizing on its marquee releases, and dedicating a distinct, expressive colorway of the 4 to the women’s range is part of a broader, overdue shift. For the buyers this is aimed at, an exclusive is a feature, not a limitation.

For the buyer, this is a statement 4 with a tropical palette you will not see on the standard retros, and it is already out at $220. If the look lands for you and it is still in stock, it is a distinctive pickup. For more Jordan news, see our Air Jordan coverage.
