NIKE Air Jordan IV OG White Fire Red: Black Friday 2020: Nov. 28th

The average customer doesn’t care about quality. As long as they have them, they good. Most Harlem and Bronx cats don’t know/care about the “glory years” of Nike quality nor can tell the difference in shapes stitching height etc. It’s all about stuntin for the ‘gram and streets in their small world.

As for me, I sold all my blk//cement IV’s off. May skip these and focus on some other OG stuff for 2021.

Yeah...that right pair has that bulbasaur working. I have noticed that in a lot of pictures and video the left shoe has the sleeker toe box. Odd?

All it proves is that they can consistently produce to a given spec in a given factory/factory line. Now they need to figure out consistency between the left and right shoe design/process!
 
Came in today. Im happy them except the crease. It seems everybody has that crease. 31 yrs is a long time. Probably double up and wrap one up and put it away.

My 2 pairs came in last week from the quick strike (I refuse to ever say shock drop even if they weren’t listed a quick strike). Here’s my personal pair size 9. Second pair is a 7.5 due to me not paying attention 🤪, but that size will be an easy money flip 💰.

Since we already know what the 4s look like, here are my 4s with a few Nike jerseys. Plus a bonus compare pick with my 2012s ❤

You know, as someone who missed these in '89 as a 7th grader (I had the black/cement IVs) and am one of the old heads at 44, who is currently selling a majority of my collection (150 pairs or so) to move on in life (though keeping a core selection of shoes 50-or so), I was hyped for these. Really was. I am not buying things anymore unless they are useful (Zoom GP Turbos in the Agassi color for tennis) or mean something.

These were in the latter category. After seeing these pics above, and seeing Chris's (Nightwing's) video, I gotta be honest to myself. I'm done. Not gonna spend the $200 for something that looks so wrinkled out of the box. Looks like a B-Grade or UA pair. I'll pray for the Carmines that Nike doesn't F them up! That shoe, in NA detail, I passed on for a 2nd pair of black/infrared back in 91-92 school year (9th grade). Sad Nike/JB can't do the simple things properly.

Nike, if you want to mail in a release in terms of quality, you ***** out all the colors of some retros. Mess those up. Go premium and real on the NA ones. SB did a killer job on the AT1. You can do the same on some important NA retros!!
 
Nike used to be synonymous with quality. The only decent releases have been nikelab ****. Everything else be pleather PU coated glue globs
