An affordable spin on the US$23,000 Eminem x Carhartt x AJ4

The Eminem x Carhartt x Air Jordan 4 is a genuine grail for most sneakerheads, currently reselling for US$23,000. The new Air Jordan 4 Black Canvas is a close replica — that doesn’t cost as much.

The Eminem x Carhartt x Air Jordan 4 is incredibly rare and currently resells for around US$23,000 a pair. The Eminem x Carhartt x Air Jordan 4 was made and given exclusively to family and friends of the Detroit rapper. A select set of ten pairs were auctioned for more than US$20,000 (approx. S$28,000) on EBay. Today, they resell for much more on the secondary market. 

In August, Nike will drop the AJ4 Canvas Black which resembles closely the Eminem x Carhartt x AJ4 shoe — for a fraction of the price. Like the Eminem x Carhartt x AJ4, the Canvas Black comes in a full black canvas upper, grey hits on the outsole, white and black midsole, and contrasting lace tabs. From a distance, it’s difficult to tell them apart.

But like any Nike take-down sneaker, there are some differences. The plastic eyelets come in grey rather than a shimmery silver, while the heel tab on the Black Canvas pair comes with the Jumpman logo instead of the backward “E” and Jason Voorhees mask.

If you prefer more colors in your sneaker rotation, there are other Air Jordan 4s you can check out – like the Cool Grey, Bred, and Shimmer.
