Air Jordan 4 ‘Northern Lights’ '

Bespoke Custom

This pair of sneakers was created from the ground up during San Diego Custom Footwear’s December 2021 workshop. This pair of kicks was the first Bespoke custom pair every designed and constructed by Sailboat Supplies. These Jordan 4’s were created in the spirit of the Nike Dunk SB ‘420 Series’ with the “Northern Lights” strain of marijuana as the main inspiration. This pair of Air Jordan 4s is the 1st of 20 pairs that will be created as bespoke customs by Sailboat Supplies as a 4/20 inspired series (20 pairs of 4s GET IT?!)

This pair was created utilizing the inverse side of premium tumbled leathers to expose the shaggy suede side as the exterior. Neon green cement print comprises the toe cap with an accentuating green neon tongue and forest green eyelet liner. The uppers vary in shades of grey and blues, contrasting the neon green hits to suggest a phase shift of lights from green to blue as may be seen with the aurora borealis aka “Northern Lights”.

This pair was designed with the midsole/outsole of some triple white Jordan Flight ‘89. The uppers were hand measured, hand cut, machine sewn, lasted, bonded, and stitched by Sailboat himself. This pair is seated a bit shallow due to thick insoles and altered securing processes during lasting. These sneakers show a lower profile than a typical Air Jordan 4 and also have a shorter tongue than normal. They fit as a true size 12 based on the pattern utilized but the midsole/outsole is a true size 11.5 and as such, the uppers have slight seating issues on the midsoles. Additionally, these sneakers fit more shallow than a traditional pair of Air Jordan 4s
