How to Cop the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 "Pine Green"

First joining forces back in 2014, Nike SB and Jordan Brand have become a collaborative force to be reckoned with, teaming up to work on multiple special projects over the years. While previously the duo have only worked together on the AJ1, they’re now set to release an extremely-limited skateboarding-ready Air Jordan 4 for the first time ever, with the sneakerheads around the world seriously heated up at the prospect of getting their hands on a pair.

Decked out in a “Pine Green” colourway, the kicks feature Nike SB branding on the heel tabs, reinforced rubber wings and heels, as well as a midsole unit that’s specifically engineered for high-impacts. Set to launch in limited numbers, here at The Sole Supplier we’ve put together a comprehensive guide on how to maximise your chances of grabbing a pair, so read on for all you need to know.

While the pair won’t hit mainstream sneaker retailers until the 21st, it’s important to realise that they're set to launch at select UK skate shops on the 17th March, meaning that you can secure a pair before the main release. These stores are much smaller than most sneaker stores and also less known-about, meaning you can stand a much better chance by entering their raffles. Retailers such as Flatspot, , Note, Consortium, Bored of Southsea and Route One should all be receiving stock, so keep it locked into this page as we’ll be updating it with raffle links as soon as they go live.

Set to hit Nike’s dedicated launch platform SNKRS on the 21st March, the Nike SB x AJ4 will release via a raffle system, so be sure to turn on notifications via the app to ensure you don’t miss the launch. The raffle will go live at 8am sharp and will be open for either two minutes or 15 minutes, although this is yet to be confirmed. Ensure that your Nike account has your payment details and delivery address set up before the raffle goes live, as no-one needs that additional stress on release morning. If you’re successful in the raffle you’ll receive that all-important “GOT ‘EM” message, so may the odds be ever in your favour!

With a release of this calibre, it’s crucial to enter as many raffles as possible to maximise your chances of copping. Most Nike and Jordan Brand Tier 0 retailers in the UK will be receiving stock allocation of the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “Pine Green”, and raffles have already started to kick off. The END. Clothing raffle is live now, as well as another over at SNS. Offspring will be conducting an Instagram raffle on Wednesday the 15th March, so keep it locked in over on their page for all the latest details. Stock levels at these retailers should be relatively high - so make sure to enter in time!

While most of us are located in the UK, we’re also still eligible to enter raffles at plenty of EU retailers, so if you’re dead-set on copping this pair you’ll want to enter those too. There’s a whole host of raffles already open which we’ve compiled into a list for you to enter below. For more details you can also check out our dedicated raffle page for this pair!

Last but not least, if you do end up taking an L on release day, you can still grab a pair via our very own resale platform - Sole Market. Pairs will crop up shortly after the release date and are guaranteed to be 100% authentic and unworn, so if you’re planning on adding these to your rotation we’d recommend doing so before the price starts to crawl upwards. Be sure to share your purchase via social media and tag us if you do grab a pair from Sole Market!

By following all these steps, you should have a really strong chance at securing this hyped-release, so we wish you the best of luck!
