Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 4 first released in 1989 for Michael Jordan's fourth NBA season with the Chicago Bulls. Seamlessly blending performance and style, Hatfield added elements like the "Wings" on the sides, enabling users to adjust the shoe's fit to their preference. While the Jordan 4 (IV) was created as a basketball sneaker, it would go on to transcend the court and become a staple in fashion and culture. With countless collabs and retros of the OG colorways, the Air Jordan 4 is one of the hottest sneakers available right now.

Sneakerheads call them “holy grails” — the most coveted and seldom-seen treasures. The term “sneaker grail” gets thrown around a bit, often without context or definition. In fact, there are different ways to look at what constitutes a grail sneaker. A grail list is highly subjective, but it’s easier to break down if there are tiers.
Here at FTYA we have THREE Tiers
1.GRAILS WE CURRENTLY OWN (this is a shoe that you would not get rid of for any price)
2. OBTAINABLE GRAILS (Obtainable meaning you can justify the price but you still are on the fence)
3. UNATAINABLE GRAILS WE DO NOT OWN (shoes that are now past the “obtainable” price point )
