Context
Story & provenance
Lightest Jordan Basketball To Date
Jordan Brand released the Tatum 4 on October 10, 2025 in the St. Louis Siren Red colorway at a 130 dollar retail price. Designers built it as the lightest Jordan Basketball shoe ever produced, pairing Cushlon 3.0 foam with a forefoot Zoom Air unit and stiffening the midsole with a modified TPU shank in an IsoPlate-style layout. The traction blended a central translucent herringbone zone with peripheral solid rubber for durability. WearTesters called the Tatum 4 the best-performing Tatum to date but flagged the upper as feeling disappointingly cheap for the price. Jayson Tatum's signature line continues to grow into one of Jordan Brand's most important contemporary launches, and the Tatum 4 has been broadly adopted across NBA rosters and college programs.
