The Air Jordan 4 ‘London’ launches on 12 September 2026. This regional exclusive follows Jordan Brand’s partnership with the London Lions basketball team.
By outfitting the London Lions as the first British team in the brand’s stable, Jordan is moving beyond US-centric marketing. This shoe is the physical manifestation of that pivot.
The September timing coincides with the autumn transition. Grey tones usually peak in demand during this period.
‘London’ colourway vs standard Jordan 4s
The ‘London’ edition utilises a textured, shaggy grey suede instead of traditional nubuck uppers. A rust-brown outsole and a translucent ‘mustache’ layer on the heel with raised ‘Air’ text complement the material.
The shaggy suede is heavier and more tactile than smooth nubuck. This monochromatic upper is balanced by lighter grey eyestay clips and side netting to prevent a solid block of grey. A black midsole, TPU wings, and interior lining ground the look. This focus on texture reflects the evolving UAE sneaker market, where collectors move toward “quiet luxury” streetwear.
The rust-brown outsole provides the only sharp contrast. It is a muted, earthy tone.
Unique design details
Collectors should look for the ‘Say Less’ tag on the inner tongue and the ‘LDN’ graphic visible through the translucent heel. The palette includes Black, Red Bark, and Dark Smoke Grey, accented by a sandy hue on the midsole heel portion. The official colourway is Black/Red Bark/Dark Smoke Grey/Smoke Grey/Hemp.
The SKU for this release is IV6048-001.
The “mustache” layer on the heel creates a 3D effect. The raised “Air” text sits directly above the “LDN” graphic. The “Say Less” tag on the inner tongue is a nod to UK slang.
Air Jordan 4 ‘London’ cost in the UAE
The official MSRP is $230 USD (approximately AED 845). Regional pricing in the UAE fluctuates due to import duties and retailer markups. Expect to pay between AED 900 and AED 1,100 at premium sneaker boutiques in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
Supply hitting the UAE will be limited to high-end boutiques and resellers because this is a regional exclusive for the UK.
Resale prices will likely spike when they launch in London. Buying from a local shop in Al Quoz or a boutique in Abu Dhabi avoids international shipping and customs. AED 1,100 is a realistic ceiling for a retail-adjacent price.
