Nike has released a new version of the Air Jordan 4, this time made specifically for women.
Nike drops the Women’s Air Jordan 4 ‘Aluminium’
Called the ‘Aluminium’, the sneaker blends classic design with a fresh twist.
Priced at R4,099.95, this limited-edition model celebrates the original 1989 Air Jordan 4 with a cleaner, more modern look.
The ‘Aluminium’ edition is built with premium white leather, giving it a crisp and durable feel. The standout feature is the soft blue Aluminium accents, seen in the moulded wings and lace holders.
For added style, removable chenille flowers are attached to the shoe—offering a playful, elegant detail that can be kept on or taken off depending on your look.
The Air Jordan 4 is a silhouette with history. Known for its visible Air cushioning, plastic lace wings, and mesh detailing, it’s a favourite among sneaker fans.
This version keeps those iconic elements while offering a subtle refresh through new materials and colour highlights.
How to buy the Air Jordan 4 ‘Aluminium’ in South Africa
The Women’s Air Jordan 4 ‘Aluminium’ is available through the Nike SNKRS platform, an online shop that often handles Nike’s high-demand sneaker drops.
However, for South African shoppers, buying through SNKRS comes with a few extra steps and costs.
Here’s what to expect:
- Shipping Fees: Nike charges international shipping costs, usually between R500 and R1,000, depending on the delivery option.
- Import Taxes and Duties: South African customs apply a duty of 30% to 40% on imported sneakers. This means your final price can be much higher than the listed R4,099.95.
- Payment Rules: Since SNKRS transactions are processed internationally, your bank must allow foreign purchases. You should also check for foreign exchange fees.
- Final Cost: Including all fees, the final amount you pay for the ‘Aluminium’ could end up closer to R5,500 to R6,000.
