Yesterday, rumors started circulating about the return of his famed Air Jordan 4 “Encore”, the 2005 classic that was given out to only friends and family of Shady Records. Shady’s Instagram post from yesterday has shed a little light on the rumor as he posted a photo with the “Encore” 4 and StockX founder and fellow Detroit citizen Josh Luber. This could mean that if the shoes are indeed returning, they may be auctioned off for charity on the website, similar to how LeBron James launched the retro era of his signature shoe legacy earlier this year. While the sneaker shown in Eminem’s post is primarily the same, it does feature a bit of a newer construction as well as lighter shades of blue and grey.
Nothing is official regarding this release, but early speculations can certainly be made. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more information as it becomes available, and if you can’t wait and have money to spend this holiday season, head over to Stadium Goods or eBay to grab a pair today.
