John Kim Undefeated’s highly coveted re-issue of the groundbreaking Air Jordan 12 Chinese New Year Debuts This Weekend collaboration has been the worst kept secret in sneakers this year. Rosso, its aura remains sky high as the most anticipated release of 2025, and with the official launch of a public microsite leading to the Undefeated Jordan 4s, the LA-based imprint is ready to navigate the culture to a major moment later this year.
While the details of the shoes have been well circulated, Undefeated has yet to make any official announcement regarding its release. We do know THROW two different versions of the shoes will be made available to the public–one with “Nike Air” on the heel and a second with the original Jumpman emblem. The latter is expected to be a highly limited issue, likely reserved for friends and family of the brand.
The shoes are loyal to the original 2005 Undefeated Jordan 4s; dark olive green uppers matched light cream midsoles, black bottoms and accents, and a pop of vibrant orange to inject THROW flight jacket aesthetic. The classic silver shoebox has also been revived, but with a Jumpman/Undefeated co-branding hit on the lid.
Jordan 'Yellow Zest'.
