Air Jordan 4 SE Wet Cement

Every surface on this AJ4 sits inside the same narrow band of stone: upper, eyelet wings, laces, heel tab and midsole, down to the darker rim framing the visible Air unit.

The upper mixes nubuck leather and suede, so the shades separate by texture rather than by hue. At arm’s length the shoe reads as one material. Up close the grid panel, the wings and the toe each hold a slightly different value, the way wet and dry patches do on the same pavement.

Nike says the colorway takes its cue from the cobblestone streets of Paris. It carries the style code FQ7928-001 and was listed on Nike’s SNKRS.
