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

[JumpmanATL7]

Well mine showed up. Absolutely gutted at these. ****ing have to hit on release day now.

That’s awful. I remember how many pairs of the shock drop fire red 5s had glaring qc issues. If mine come in and I’m not happy I am returning them. If I have to buy 5 pairs at resale when they release so be it but I’m getting at least one good pair.

edit: or yeah throw em up on StockX. That’s why I still shop on eBay I like to see pics so I can judge if I want them or not. Got screwed on Goat on some FOG 1s I spent way too much on. It pays to know how to LC and shop on eBay.

Loving the heel on those. And that’s my size too hell yeah.

That's the first thing I noticed with these in hand photos the heel shot is super sexy!

they probably know you're a cowboys fan and felt like kicking you while you're down.

Cowboys been subpar for so long I can't even feel them kicking me
Pretty sure Zeke and Cee Dee Lamb got theirs by now

how does that happen?

look like they were balled in at an all city dwarf tournament

My OG’s had this hang tag they use here. What size did you have back then?

Now that's interesting. Maybe this has come up before and I've forgotten. I feel like it has LOL
I was only a sz 8 back when I got my OGs, but they were a men's pair not a kids pair, and came with the fat bubble tag. A couple of my friends had them, too, with the fat tag. I don't remember what size they were way back then but I don't think it was size-related; if anything, you'd almost expect the smaller pairs to have the flimsier tag, if there was going to be a difference.

This is good to know, though. At least I stand corrected and Nike isn't totally out to lunch again with its own history. I know I got my OGs late into the model's life cycle, so perhaps Nike made the tag change somewhere during the production run.

Some of the other pairs posted already also have surprisingly creased toe boxes. Nike back to just completely not giving an eff. Sometimes I wonder what it takes for a shoe to actually fail the factory QC process. I guess it basically has to be bleeding colors like the Melo 13 debacle, or come off the line with no outsole attached, or something on that level. Otherwise, the inspectors are clearly sitting there just glancing at shoes as they roll by and saying, "pass, pass, pass, pass ... "

Tell me about it. He was so excited about hitting early the other day too.

Lace swap anyone. Too much white!

 

[jking0821]

I was going to be swapping in black laces. But that's got to wait because Nike QC sucks.

Appreciate the comparison pics.

We knew they'd be better than the 2012's, but seeing them side by side makes me appreciate these 2020's more.

Same here man. With all the hate that I have for these release, I will say that red shade they used is PERFECTION. Very nice, true, and VIBRANT!!! I wish they would've used this shade of red on the Playoff 11's, last year. The shade is way too dark, and that's the only thing that ***** that release up.​

Looking crispy!

Man this is Fkd up bro, who would actually approve this shoe to be sent. Especially how long we all waited for pictures and finally got a shock drop and then this B.S Nike.

Very nice I would love to see this pair lined up heel to heel to see height and cut standing up! Agreed 110% brother that red shade was way too dull and dark I would honestly rather cop the OG then the 2019s even though the shape was close.

Man this is not looking good. I’m prepared for a bad pair. QC is usually worse for larger sizes. I’ll pick up a few more on RD though. Usually try to get my hands on about 5 pairs for these OG grs in my size so I can find a good one. Crazy to have to do that.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I wonder what pair this is coming out in 2021 I guess they look super wierd.

Trash

Oh, so for these they make sure the outlines are there.

JB really ain't ****

 

[toneloc2002]

That red is gorgeous!

 

[noblekane]

I wouldnt mind a normal toe crease but that crease looks like somebody been walking in a shoe 6 sizes too big

 

[rooster]

These are a massive GR
Nike produced a ton of pairs
There will be janky pairs out there
QC will be all over the place
Some of us will have to get 2-3 pairs or more to get a decent pair
For me I need a straight/aligned Nike air in the back
I don’t like the crooked gangsta lean

I still have my OG box. I will have to see if the tag is in there.
