The Eminem Air Jordan 4 “Encore” could be making its return in 2027, nearly twenty-two years after its first release. According to information shared by zSneakerHeadz on X, this new version is expected to follow the design of the original sneaker, with one key difference: the red elements of the original will be replaced by purple.

The change will particularly affect the iconic Jumpman on the heel as well as the “EMINEM” inscription located behind the tongue and the various red accents of the sneaker. Limited to just 50 pairs in 2005, coinciding with the release of Eminem's fifth album, the Air Jordan 4 “Encore” was reserved for friends & family. The pairs are now valued at over $50,000. A second edition was produced in 2017, with only 23 additional pairs released to accompany the launch of Revival.

This reissue comes at a time when Jordan is bringing back several models from its archives. If the release is confirmed, the Air Jordan 4 “Encore” will mark its third edition, following the versions from 2005 and 2017.
