Jordan 4 Retro SE Craft Photon Dust

The Jordan 4 Retro SE Craft “Photon Dust” (style code DV3742‑021) — released on February 11, 2023 — is a premium reinterpretation of the 1989 classic by Jordan Brand.

Design & Materials

• Upper: The upper is built from a combination of light grey leather and tonal suede — with suede overlays on the forefoot and collar for texture and depth.

• “Mesh” Panels: Traditional plastic netting on the quarter‑panels is replaced with gridded suede, giving the sneaker an “artisan” feel instead of a purely sporty loo

• Support Wings / Cage: The structural “wings” near the midfoot are manufactured from cracked leather, while the lace‑eyelets and lace cage are molded in a “Pale Vanilla” hue — adding subtle contrast to the greys.

• Branding & Accents: Jumpman branding appears on the tongue tag and heel in Pale Vanilla. The overall colorway blends “Photon Dust, Pale Vanilla, Off White, Grey Fog, Flat Pewter, and Sai.

• Midsole: The sneaker features an off‑white polyurethane midsole — subtle and neutral in tone — with a visible Air‑Sole unit in the heel for cushioning and impact protection.

• Outsole: The outsole is made of Flat Pewter rubber, offering traction and durability, with a design that blends with the neutral upper for a unified look.

This “Crft” version of the Jordan 4 is tailored more for lifestyle and casual wear than pure basketball performance. The muted grey tones, subtle vanilla accents, and rich suede/leather materials give it a refined, minimalistic aesthetic — perfect for someone who wants a classy, versatile sneaker that pairs easily with many outfits. Many sneaker fans consider it a great “cool‑grey / neutral‑tone” option that works well year‑round.
