The Eminem x Air Jordan 4 “Encore” Is Finally Releasing In 2027

Sneakerheads have been chasing myths for two decades, but the ultimate holy grail is finally coming down to earth. According to HotNewHipHop, the legendary Eminem x Air Jordan 4 "Encore" is officially dropping on May 15, 2027, for $230. The history here is pure lore. Back in 2005 during his Anger Management Tour, Marshall spotted a BlackBerry-inspired Undefeated AJ4 sample on Nike’s campus and secured his own spin-off to match his *Encore* album. Only 73 pairs were ever produced across the original run and a 2017 StockX charity campaign, sending Sotheby's resale prices up to a wild $50,800. The 2027 retro tweaks the original blueprint with some fresh details. Deep blue leather covers the upper, paired with translucent wing eyelets and black accents. Jordan Brand is swapping the original red detailing for purple accents on the Jumpman, while tucking the "Eminem" tag behind the tongue. They are also utilizing a shape closer to the original 2005 AJ4 build instead of the modern retro cut. Good luck beating the bots. Check them out below.
