Jordan Brand has seen some of its most successful collaborations with Air Jordan ambassador and pro BMX rider Nigel Sylvester. Following the massive success of their Air Jordan 4 “Brick by Brick” release in 2025, Sylvester and Air Jordan are expecting another thematic release in the coming months. Michael Jordan was recently spotted wearing the unreleased project over the holidays, giving fans their first glimpse of the pair on feet.

The "Brick by Brick" Air Jordan 4 release was widely considered the best sneaker release of 2025, building on the success of Nigel Sylvester's previous Air Jordan 1 collaboration with the Jumpman. They took things a step further by releasing the Air Jordan 4 RM, which is an updated Jordan 4-inspired silhouette tailored for BMX and bike riding.
Fans were lured by rumors of an alternate white “Brick by Brick” pair as opposed to the original, but Jordan Brand has been able to keep official images a secret for the most part. However, just recently, Jumpman was spotted wearing the upcoming Jordan 4 “Sail/Cinnabar” while walking around Disney World.

While Jordan is clearly trying to enjoy some time at the most magical place on Earth, fans couldn't help but notice his unreleased shoes that he was rocking. The “Sail/Cinnabar” colorway has been teased on multiple occasions, but seeing Jordan with his pair is the most likely sign of it finally releasing. The pair will also feature Sylvester's signature "Bike Air" on the rear heel, replacing the typical "Nike Air" branding.
The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Sail/Cinnabar” is expected to release during the Summer 2026 season with no specific release date planned as of yet. The shoes will retail for $230 and come in full sizes, but expect limited numbers and some degree of exclusivity given the nature of the original release.
Do you like it more than the original “Brick by Brick” Air Jordan 4?
