The Air Jordan 4 “Tour Yellow” has been locked away for two decades, and that’s part of what makes this drop hit different. I was barely walking when these first released in 2006, but growing up around sneaker culture, the Tour Yellow always came up as an “if you know, you know” pair. While the “Lightning” and “Thunder” got retros, this one stayed frozen — and that scarcity built a reputation money can’t buy. Let’s get into it.

Will the Air Jordan 4 ‘Tour Yellow’ Live Up to Two Decades of Hype?
The anticipation is real. House of Heat rated the Tour Yellow at 83.5° on their heat scale, calling it one of the most anticipated Jordan retros of the decade. The “Lightning” and “Thunder” from the same 2006 class have both been retroed, but the Tour Yellow never got its second chance until now. OG pairs on StockX have commanded well above the original $125 retail for years, proving demand never faded.
The AJ4 debuted in 1989 as the first globally released Air Jordan — forever linked to “The Shot” over Craig Ehlo and Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing. The Tour Yellow proved that non-Bulls colorways belong in the Jordan legacy, arriving alongside the Air Jordan 4 “Thunder” and Air Jordan 4 “Lightning” during a banner year for yellow 4s.
If you slept on it in 2006, don’t make the same mistake twice. Twenty years in the vault only made this one hit harder.
