Air Jordan 4 White Cement 1989 History

One cherished pair of sneakers, the Original Jordan 4 White Cement, was released in 1989 and, at the time, was thought of as an ugly shoe. But that didn’t stop people from purchasing.

In the movie “Do the Right Thing,” Buggin Out wore a pair of the “White Cement.” He received a large scuff due to someone pushing their bike. Later on in the film, he can be seen scrubbing the scuff off with a toothbrush.

Although dubbed “White Cement,” the shoes come dressed in White and Black. Constructed with White leather on the upper with the same shade on the mesh panels and tongues. Due to age, most pairs are yellowed, including the White around the visible Air unit in the heel. Grey cement print lands on part of the midsole, eyelets, and heel tabs, while Black runs across the lower midsole and Nike Air on the heels. Completing the design is a Red Jumpman on the tongues.
