Did the Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” drop after release? Yes, to $166 in a size 8.5
Sizes 9 to 10.5 all sit at $170, their lowest since my checks began. Sizes 12.5, 13 and 14 went up this week and now ask over retail.
A size 8.5 Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” costs $166 today, eight days after the pair released on November 1 at $220. That's $54 under retail and the lowest price I've seen since I started tracking it on September 29.
It isn't just one size. Every size from 8 to 12 is under retail, and all nine of them got cheaper this week. The 8.5 is the single cheapest size, but the next step up is only a little higher.
How it got here
- September 29: $230, the first price I recorded, above retail
- October 28: $177, the price I had when I wrote about it before release
- November 1: $173 on release day
- November 3: $166, and it hasn't moved since
When I covered it in October, the cheapest pair was $230. Now it's $166.

The table shows this week's prices next to last week's and how far each size sits under retail. Sizes 9, 9.5, 10 and 10.5 are all $170, and size 10 had the biggest drop, down $19. Sizes 11 and 11.5 are $175. The ends are the priciest: $183 for a size 8 and $188 for a 12.
Outside that range, sizes 7 and 7.5 held at $189. Bigger feet had a worse week: a 13 rose to $221 and a 14 to $228, both over retail.
If you wear sizes 9 to 10.5, I'd buy now. $170 is $50 under retail and the lowest those sizes have been since my checks began. More Air Jordan 4s under retail are on the sale page.
