It’s beginning to look like patent leather just might be making a comeback next year. After a “Carolina” Air Jordan 1 featuring the shimmering material was recently revealed, the Air Jordan 4 is now getting in on the plethora-of-patent look via a brand-new “Hot Punch” colorway for the fairer sex. Dressed completely in patent leather, the shoe’s soft pinkish-red upper features slightly brighter red accents on the heel tab, lacing system, and midfoot mesh for a tonal contrast. A bold black Jumpman logo adorns the heel, and the reddish-pink midsole features interesting black and yellow speckled detailing. The shoe is then completed with a semi-translucent pink outsole. If you’re a fan of these shiny sneakers, you can look for the “Hot Punch” AJ4s to drop in women’s/grade school sizes January 19th of 2019.
