History of the Air Jordan 4 Light Citron “Fear”
The Air Jordan 4 Light Citron “Fear” was first released in 2013, landing alongside the Jordan 3 and Jordan 5 of the same name. Though it wasn’t the #1 silhouette in the Jumpman catalog at the time of release, the AJ4 quickly jumped out as the most coveted of the collection, commanding the highest grey market price by a wide margin. Simply put, the colorway stood out as the best of the three — its icy, gradient-like arrangement offered far more intrigue than the olive tones of its two counterparts.
With nearly every significant moment in Michael Jordan’s career already used as a touchstone for a Jordan retro release, the “Fear” pack utilizes more abstract inspiration instead. Rather than a specific stat line, game, or playoff run, the three-pair capsule draws from His Airness’ unwavering competitive spirit, flipping the concept on its head with insoles that read “I’m scared of what I won’t become” and “you’re scared of what I will become.”
The Future Of The “Fear Pack” and The AJ4 in 2024
With the Air Jordan 3 “Fear” already re-releasing in 2023 as a 10th-anniversary drop, this AJ4 all but confirms a reprisal of the Jordan 5 in 2025. Adopting this yearly, staggered cadence means that each pair aligns well with the respective model’s 35th anniversary.
On that note, this will essentially serve as the capper on a year chock full of Jordan 4 releases. Eleven distinct colorways will have hit the shelves by this pair’s November launch. While the women’s exclusive Air Jordan 4 “Net” has a release date deeper into 2024, this is the last edition that carries a high level of anticipation (until we get into the stacked 2025 slate, at least.)
