Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a big fan of red sneakers. So, if I’m loving an all-red sneaker, that’s saying something. That’s where we are with the Air Jordan 4 ‘Toro Bravo.’ This bad boy is loud, unapologetically red and the color scheme screams Chicago Bulls road uniform.
It’s such a natural connection, I’d love to see someone on the Bulls–who is obviously signed to Nike–get a Players Edition for the upcoming season. Maybe Bulls rookie Noa Essengue? He was wearing Kobe’s Reverse Grinches on media day. Anyways, here’s more information about the Toro Bravo.

The Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” is officially set to return on May 23, 2026, carrying a retail tag of $215. Originally released in 2013, the bold all-red sneaker quickly became one of the most celebrated non-OG colorways in Jordan Brand’s catalog. Its Fire Red upper, black wings, and crisp white midsole gave it a striking, aggressive edge that resonated with fans and helped it stand out in a crowded retro lineup.
This 2026 version may not be a one-to-one copy. Rumors suggest Jordan Brand could upgrade the materials and potentially swap the heel tab’s Jumpman logo for Nike Air branding, something collectors have seen with other retro 4s in recent years like the “Black Cat” edition. Whether or not those tweaks materialize, anticipation is already building for the shoe’s return.

RabaKali has multiple looks at the sneaker.
The Toro Bravo is more than just a flashy sneaker—it’s a time capsule of Jordan Brand’s 2010s run, when bold colorways outside the original lineup began to carve their own space in sneaker culture. For Chicago loyalists, the Bulls-inspired vibe only strengthens its cultural connection.
Expect the Toro Bravo 4s to release through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers, likely in a wide release similar to its first drop. Given the history and hype behind this pair, sneakerheads should plan ahead and circle the date if they want a shot at securing them.

Heading into the summer, the Toro Bravos could be a hot ticket. They will drop in the midst of the NBA Playoffs and basketball will be firmly in our minds. That’s potentially a perfect spot for this beautifully designed Jordan retro with an eye-popping colorway.
