Olivia Kim x Air Jordan 4 WMNS No Cover
1,138A native New Yorker who came of age in the ‘90s, Nordstrom VP of Creative Projects Olivia Kim has coveted iconic sneakers her entire life. The ‘90s were a golden age for creative expression in downtown NYC and for wider sneaker culture, and Kim lived and breathed it all. For the No Cover collection, she curated a capsule of nostalgic OG Nike silhouettes that she couldn’t get her hands on growing up, bringing to life what was previously unattainable in her own life.
Even while living in NYC, Michael Jordan’s aura was unescapable for Kim. The most iconic athlete of the ‘90s, MJ consistently burned his most heated rivals with scintillating play. His creativity with the ball, nimbleness on the court, and covert moves around defenders consistently threw them off balance, earning him the “Black Cat” nickname. Paying homage to MJ’s most infamous moniker, this special-edition Air Jordan 4 is blacked-out with an all-over pony hair inspired upper. Also, for the first time, the Nike Air Futura logo appears on a women’s Air Jordan 4 heel, balancing OG details with fashion-forward materials.
