According to a source in the shoe business, Jordan Brand will work with Nike SB on an Air Jordan 4 that will debut in March 2023. On Monday, their official partnership was reported.

The Nike SB mark will appear on the heel tab of the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 instead of the Nike Air or Jumpman insignia. According to a source who spoke to Complex, the Air Jordan 4 in SB style would be modified for skateboarding.

There were speculations of Nike's skateboarding division teaming up with Michael Jordan's Nike sub-brand years before the first Nike SB x Air Jordan collaboration came out. In 2014, an Air Jordan 1 created in conjunction with skateboard artist and photojournalist Craig Stecyk brought the intra-Nike collaboration to life. Further partnerships between Jordan Brand and Nike SB have produced wear-away styles like the 2014-released black-and-white Lance Mountain models as well as the "NYC to Paris" and "LA to Chicago" hues.

Update (3/10/2023): On the backend of Nike's website, official product photos of the "Pine Green" Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 have loaded. The sneaker will be released on March 17 at certain skate shops and at select Jordan stockists on March 21 for a retail price of $225. The Nike SB version of the Jordan 4 differs from the regular Jordan 4 in a number of ways, according to leaker @zSneakerheadz, including the ease with which the upper on the new pair breaks in for skating and the improved board feel provided by the forefoot's streamlined inner. A more flexible heel tab, gum rubber on the outsole, and additional cushioning on the ankle collar make for a better skating experience than ordinary pairs.
