Yellowing slightly with heavy wear is a lot different than developing a full on golden color just sitting in a box. These new pairs are way different.

They'll probably come back in 2024 for the 35th anniversary. Under no circumstances can I recommend paying the ridiculous resale prices these now command. It's my favorite IV and I still unloaded both my pairs last year because it just isn't that great of a retro, and the mesh turns yellow shockingly quickly once you take them out of the dark and actually wear them around. Even looking at these latest pictures in this thread, I have zero regrets.
Sold mine with no regrets too.
I wanted to like these but the quality was poor to say the least.
It's silly to proclaim someone "not a genuine fan" of the shoe because some of us didn't piss ourselves over this particular retro. This is my favorite IV going back to 1989 and I got two pairs on release day at retail. Couldn't stand how they looked once they yellowed when the rest of the shoe basically still looked brand new. And then, the more I looked at them, I also didn't appreciate the shape or practically low-cut height, and in my opinion they absolutely do not "look amazing." So I sold them used for what I paid for them new. Then I sold my DS pair because I realized I was just over this version. Same reason I sold all my 2015 Flight Huarache retros and previously all my 2003 WC IIIs, and those are two of my favorite shoes of all time, too. I'm done trying to convince myself a release gives me the feeling I'm after if it actually doesn't.
Always here for it
HELL MF'N YEAH!!! SELL, OR TOSS THEM LOW TOPS ****S!!!
I offed my pairs YEARS ago!!! I just can't tolerate the low cut mf'n ankles collars. Sucks too, because this is my all-time favorite silhouette. Sucks even more ,because literally after the BC 4 release, they went RIGHT back to it. I've passed, and WILL pass on every AJ 4, until they fix it. No matter how HARD the colorway is. The f'd up toe boxes too.
How you storing them?Idk man are y’all storing them right? My pair still icey after being worn a handful of times since their release. Love my pair

Exactly. I had worn my pair so little that when I looked at them one day and realized they had yellowed noticeably, I at first thought I was imagining things or the light in my house was playing a trick on me LOL. I couldn’t believe such little use had allowed it to happen already.It’s the sun mostly imo. A handful of wears walking outside in the sun will definitely turn them yellow. Wearing them inside to the mall or something probably won’t.
Inside of the box inside of a ziplock bag same as all my others.How you storing them?
