The announcement regarding the sale of the Pokémon Nike Air Jordan 4 Dragonite was made this week. Let’s see in detail how these shoes are.

The Nike Air Jordan 4 Dragonite created by Andrew Chiou uses a predominant orange color (the designer nicknames it “mango”), like the skin of the dragon from Pokémon.

But it also has turquoise details on the signature Air Jordan 4 plastic and on the back, playing with khaki and brown colors on the front and laces.

Michael Jordan’s traditional logo, the Jumpman, is found on the tongues.

Being custom shoes, they do not have a direct relationship with Pokémon, but are a tribute, so we do not see details alluding to the Japanese franchise, beyond the Dragonite colors.
