The Off-White x Air Jordan 4 “Sail” is a highly desirable collaboration between Virgil Abloh’s fashion label and Jordan Brand on Michael Jordan’s fourth signature shoe. Originating as a sample during Abloh’s “Figures of Speech” exhibit in Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art in Fall 2019, this clean colorway received an official retail release in Summer 2020 to much fanfare. The signature “quotations” aesthetic of Abloh’s Jordan Brand collaborations underpins this Sail colored shoe, including “Air” branding printed on the midsole and “shoelace” detailing in black lettering on the laces. Translucent detailing, including the heel cup, Wings clips on the collar, and netting on the midsole and throat are all firsts for the Jordan 4. The visible Air window in the heel is surrounded by a white midsole.
