Not a single photo of SB4 shape, that’s why no one has “noticed”. No idea what you’re talking about. Come Feb the shape from the UA factory pairs will be different on the real pairs? That doesn’t make any sense

Sb4 shape or not, leather on BC4’s is a no go. Slightly yellowed midsoles like on these 3’s is one thing, but changing the actual material of the shoe is a bridge too far imo. I’ll be copping a pair of the Military Blues however.

Material change is more common on the “reimagined” line than anything else. Jordan 3s were an anomoly. Patent breds, suede royals, and now these leather black cements. Maybe cuz white cement 3s last retroed in OG form so long ago Nike didn’t want to mess with it too much and incite a riot.

Patent breds and suede royals are also trash. Nobody wants switched up materials. The only 2 good reimagined shoes were the thoughtfully aged looking ones.

The suede royals are far from trash though. So much they got right on them. And comparing the sacredness of materials the royals aren’t even in the discussion.

Patent Bred 1,s are Trash, Suede Royal 1,s Trash. Don't want either one of those. Also, everybody just proved my point about the Bred 4 reimagineds, it's not about the shape or quality. The dislike is all about them changing the overall materials on the shoe. It doesn't matter if the shape is dramatically improved, or if the materials are improved. Everybody's feelings are hurt because it's basically not the 2019,s pair with improved shape on them.
I think the shape is going to be exactly what we're seeing on the UA and Rep pairs we've been seeing online lately. It's going to be funny if they have SB 4 shape on them. Because at that point, it's just going to be ALOT of people screaming about how they just don't like Leather on Bred 4,s, which everybody is already doing right now. Hopefully i can get atleast 3 pairs minimum, since nobody wants them due to the material change. But I highly doubt that they're going sit.
Everybody forgetting that it's still a good looking 4. We've seen trash 4,s sell out, just because of how hyped up 4,s are at the moment.

No one proved your point. There’s multiple ways this pair falls short. Shape, materials used, materials not used, price, principal of not paying for the “same” shoe done in a worse way 4 years later.

What does this even mean? You’re saying it’s less significant to change from leather to suede than durabuck to leather?

These could be an exact 1:1 with the OGs or ‘99s in terms of shape and I’m still not buying.

You’re talking about the 4s with the leather? Yeah after seeing all the pics the shiny leather looks so bad it’s crazy. I just want them to nail ONE og 4 and I’ll be happy. Because they haven’t done it since the 99s

I’m saying the 1 has been done in thousands of ways. Jordan didn’t even wear the royals. He hit the shot in one of the most iconic shoes ever.
I’ll give them way more liberty to do a different release of a colorway never worn in a game than butcher an icon. The curved midsole, swoosh size, toebox shape, heel construction… all better than an OG high on the suede royals so I can’t say it’s trash at all or I’d return them/offer them up here.

^^^^^That's also Jordan Brand's agenda with the Jordan 4s this past 20 years.
"Can't get it wrong when you're not trying to get it right."

Obviously we're talking about their decision making process to even consider using suede on the uppers. That's what they got wrong.

If we’re being real, those royals would be going for way over retail now if they had just copy/pasted the reimagined chi aesthetic. The suede obviously doesn’t resonate with consumers in the same way.

Nah I think royals just arent as popular as Chis and the shoe market is down in general.

I agree.
…the all suede was a dumb idea.
But slaughterx is also right about the market.

People definitely aren't rocking heat like that out and aboot.
It's all about dingy Air Fork Ones, Pandunks, and slides of some format (yeezys, crocs, chancletas with the toe thong, etc.).
Aforementioned is 95 percent of the tween demo (and sometimes full fledged millennial hipsters).
Feels like the early 2010's again in terms of lack of variety out in these skreets.
