Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro "White/Cement" - The Aftermath - NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING

[soleaddict33]

Ya Im with you there.
I don't really get worked up about how the side-leather looks , but I point it out when I see it because I think the side-leather is one of the symptoms of the banana toe.
I think the two problems are related

If somehow JB managed to produce a pair with a proper toe-box, but still the pinched side leather, I don't think I would have a problem with that

I summize that if they fix one of those two issues it might fix the other.

The reason why I love the 4 so much is the design and symmetry of the shoe.

Seeing images like these show just how beautiful the shoe should look. The flow and spacing of the side overlays create a very pleasing design.

Man o man....
Lordy lord..... bless me with the chance to get at least one pair....
I sold my 2012 pair after these have been confirmed.

Couldn't agree more. Outta reps at the moment, but Ill get you

It's not just the bulky toe-box, but how each flaw in the retros throws off the whole aesthetic of the shoe

But the crazy thing is JB can fix the toe box. Look at the remastered 1s vs '13s and older.

Thanks, no worries.

The 3s and 4s are the only Jordans I'm fanatical or really care about. Would be stoked if one day they put in the effort to get them right(as in how Tinker designed and intended them to be).

The Oreos I got on my feet right now are the last JB shoe I've spent money on got it almost right.

This is the launch locator for the maroons View media item 1803021
The maroons are a Nike Air OG remastered holiday release. I hope this is a signifier of what to expect for OG 4s releases. It makes it just a bit easier kindve like an 11 release but little less hype

As y'all can clearly see, the height is SLIGHTLY higher than the White/Red Alternate IV's (like 5 cm)

​

 ​

But the BANANA shape is SERIOUS, it's worse than CDP & 2006 Fire Red IV's​

 ​

​

 ​

***** up the ENTIRE shoe.​

 ​

 ​

 ​

 ​

Also, reps again to @Zephyr1983, @jaylaw15 & @soleaddict33. ​

 ​

I'll rep y'all again when I can.​

 

[monosylabikal]

So I take it then a few here will not be copping? That will increase my chances by .0000000000013% lol

Unfortunately the WC 4s are a little harder to get imo. It's all by itself at the moment. Unlike maroons whose mush in with Aqua, yeezy & 72-10. They will be a instant sell out come tax time

Way too much crying in here...Like let's keep it real. 95% of y'all are gonna cop these when they drop...Off toebox, weird shape and all. So instead of crying why don't we all just relax, put that $220 aside and worry about more important things like what we're doing for our girls the day after these drop

repped, we drowning in broke boy tears.  if you like them cop them, if you dont dont.  if $220 got you trippin get your paper right #YRN 

me personally imma take my girl out for a ham sandwich

[da hen]

thats not close to 5 cm. about 2.5 cm per inch I believe

 

[rhinosport]

It's the same height. The darker heeltab gives the illusion that it is higher. Omit both tabs and follow each shoe line. They match up...

 

[marztharealist]

I was jokin' when I said that @DA HEN, I originally said 2 cm a page or two ago...​

 ​

It really DOESN'T ever matter at this point @RhInoSpOrt, the shape of the whole shoe is ALL types ****** up.​

 ​

​

 ​

Seems like my favorite Jordan model will NEVER look as good as it once did....​

 ​

It's kinda the same feelin' of when the BAD chick you wanted back in the day, ended up goin' with some lame dude...​

 ​

Had a couple of kids by the simp, now she looks tired, got fat & just FELL all the way the **** off.​

 ​

 ​

Anyways, here some pics of some OG Fire Red's that have seen better days....​

Another thing Ive been noticing on OGs is that the top of the collar lines up with the plastic wing then shoots back up to the heel past the ankle almost like a reverse swoosh. Look how sloppy that line becomes on the 2016s. Why don't they see the design for what it is? Go ask Tinker if you need help ffs. I don't get it. 

I'm still calling these fakes until we see NDC pics. These better be fakes dammit.

 

[trethousandgt]

Shape of the OG IV was a thing of beauty, wish they could get that right.

The OG tongue shape was a wreck though...

 

[blackboislim]

cooked up on some 8 action. 

Dropping in to get comfy on this thread. I can almost feel them on feet now. 

wtf is up with the elf toe doe?! Coulda sworn a couple months ago ppl were confirming the classic toe box. 

 

[marztharealist]

To each his own @PWGuy, but that's about it.​

 ​

The OG's were PERFECTION IMHO, no flaws....​

 ​

I'd take that so called "WRECK" of a tongue, over the whole BUTCHERED atrocity of the shoe we get nowadays any **** day.​

 

[promac]

Next year is gonna be a problem already.

 

[chros]

Is that for real? I just bought my breds and m.blue. Wew

Can't comment on the authenticity of the shoes shown but all 3 are scheduled for release next year. I've held out for NA since the early 2000s. Tons of cash saved over the years. JB finally getting back to respectability.

 

[Fidel_Cashflow]

In for two pairs of WC's and BC's.

 

[marztharealist]

i knew about the military blues and white cements , but playoff 4s?!?! Call them playoffs don't like Breds

I call them the playoff 4's too @KingWeezy, but ALL three of those models you posted are SUPER FAKE G....

They're all apart of some real decent fakes make in China that are goin' around, just look closely....

The Air on the Nike Air heel tab is not properly aligned....

It should be aligned like A I R, but INSTEAD it's like A I   R....

Also, while the shape is better than what we've seen over the years...

It's ALL the way ****** up on the pairs that are pictured...

I actually COVERED this about a month ago, on page 60 in this thread...

Anyways, I couldn't find a video with some GM White/Cements....

But, you know it's BAD when these GM Black Cements have a better toe box than the Whites from the Mysole pics posted on page 57...

They said they were made in Vietnam, where Nike/JB needs to go back to makin' they're shoes IMO... Seems like they came out better there...

I know they can do the same in China really, but for some DUMB reason.... They keep givin' us the cheapness, but in the end... They know they're goin to sell out anyways. ****** quality or not.

The plastic wing tab is a whole lot THINNER also, and the netting looks PRETTY bad....

It's a **** shame that while looks real bad, it's matches up with the netting on the tongue.

Somethin' that they REFUSE to get right on REAL shoes....

Along with ******' TOE BOX....

Also, the hang tag on the fakes are cut seriously wrong, it not aligned right at all....

Here's some more vids on those Fake/GM pairs, so y'all know what they look like...

& y'all DO NOT GET TEMPTED to buy them...

Sorry @AirThompson, & other moderators.

I'm only posting these vids up to prove, and MAKE a point.

Please DO NOT delete THIS post.





I really do HOPE the Black/Cement's, & Military Blues make a return with NA in 2016 @KingWeezy....

They've already got FAKES in circulation, SO they might as well have been CONFIRMED....

I just PRAY to god they fix the ***** shape and Chiquita *** toe box...
