The original 2013 Fear Pack pair trades at $700 deadstock. The 2024 retail retro is $215 with common sizes $230–280 on StockX right now. The reps get you to the same grey-nubuck-with-cool-grey-suede shoe for well under retail.
Jordan Brand released the Fear Pack in 2013 — three shoes (AJ3, AJ4, AJ5) tied loosely to a "Become Legendary" campaign that ran commercials with the tagline "I'm scared of what I won't become / you're scared of what I will become." Those exact quotes are debossed on the AJ4 Fear insoles.
The AJ3 and AJ5 sold okay. The AJ4 became the crown jewel of the pack. Deadstock 2013 AJ4 Fear pairs trade around $700 today. It's the trio's grail.
Jordan Brand brought it back November 16, 2024 at $215 retail — 11 years after the OG. Current StockX is $230–280 for common sizes, some below the $215 MSRP.
Velvety black nubuck upper with cool grey suede overlays. Mesh side panels, wings, and lace cage carry through — heavily networked. Speckled midsole balances the greyscale. Red hits on the visible Air-Sole unit provide the only pop of color.
Jumpman heel, not Nike Air — Fear is not an OG colorway. Debossed insoles with the fear/legendary quotes.
Style code: FQ8138-002. Colorway: Black/White-Cool Grey-Pure Platinum.

Non-OG. Originally released in 2013 as part of the Fear Pack (with AJ3 and AJ5). Jumpman heel branding (not Nike Air). 2024 was the first retro.
"I'm scared of what I won't become" on one insole, "you're scared of what I will become" on the other. Both reference the Michael Jordan 'Become Legendary' campaign from 2008. Real quotes, debossed on the insole, verified on retail pairs.
2024 spec. The 2013 ran half small (known sizing issue). The 2024 corrected the fit and improved the gum-sole tone. Say '2024 spec' on WhatsApp — factories default to whichever tooling is current, so specify to be safe.
Deadstock 2013 AJ4 Fear trades around $700 on StockX/GOAT/eBay. The 2024 retro brought the price down significantly for accessibility.
The nubuck-suede material combo. Fear uses black nubuck upper with cool grey suede overlays — cheap batches use single-material construction and lose the visual depth. Ask for a close-up of the mudguard-to-panel transition on QC photos.
