Official Air Jordan IV white/varsity red RELEASE THREAD 8/4/12: NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[coldcity]

Ordered on release date from NDC and I won't get my damn pair until Tuesday.

I have you beat. I ordered mine on release date and won't get mine until Wednesday. Sucks being in So Cal when Nike ships three business days AFTER a release. >:

ordered on friday the 3rd from END & got them on wed the 8th

its a damn shame when a euro company can get orders to US customers faster than a US company can

i would only deal with NDC,FNL,FTL etc for JB drops when i have to because everything is a gamble with them on RD

 

[sharpc]

I GOT 4 PAIRS OF THESE AND NONE OF THEM ARE KEEPERS, BADLY CREASED RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX I WOULD CALL THEM NDS AT BEST. MILITARY BLUE WAS THE SAME WAY. SHAME ON NIKE AND JB FOR LETTING THIS CRAP PAST QUALITY CONTROL WHICH MUST BE SUPERVISED BY A 6 YEAR OLD BLIND KID. SMH

smh. why i havent purchased any of the 4's. i miss my military IV's from 06

 

[Naruto]

[spoondacoon]

It seems like Foot Locker are sending my jayz via Pony Express, they said it shouldlve arrived saturday but still nothing. Now i have to stay home another day and wait!!!!

id order from a euro restock before i deal with FML not just from a time standpoint but FNL will hold your $$$ while it searches for your sz from a store & when they cant find it your order will get canceled but the charge will linger until they decide to remove it......

 

[sunshineblotters]

alright my estimated date of arrival is tomorrow. I got the shipping confirmation from both Eastbay and UPS, however when i check the tracking number they havent done anything but create a label
So please eastbay, when do you plan on taking the seconds off your busy schedule to drop off my package?

 

[alpha]

at FML.  *Knocks on wood* they've been ok for me lately.  The only reason I still order from them is because of those Winner's Circle disco's.  Whenever I double up through them for me and my boy it adds up.  When they sent me a worn pair of playoffs back in April I was ready to piss in the box and send it back to them.  Luckily they haven't done anything that reckless since.  Besides, I'll always have a soft spot for them since I got free Fire Red III's from them back in 07.

 

[trappedintime]

I finally found out what the deal is from NT San Fran. Apparently not only did they only receive half their order, but most of their pairs were bad to begin with so they are STILL waiting on a huge shipment. I got the person to admit that this was a catastrophic failure in quality, and that NikeSF isn't responding via twitter or discussing it on their twitter because they're trying to keep this under wraps and hopefully get everyone's order fulfilled. 9 days later though... SMH at this. I'll be returning mine ASAP if the quality on my pair is ***.

you do know that big corporation dont drop off their packages.. UPS go to them and pick up the packages. even then the shipping status will not be updated until the UPS driver drop off your package and gets scanned at their facilities. check back after 8PM.

 

[airthompson]

Hey~! Got these from Nike Malaysia. I've contacted them and they are swapping me with with a decent pair. They did mention they will check before shipping! Wish me luck!! On a side note, i've worn my military blues less than 10 times and the paint in the heel is starting to come off...is this...uh...normal?

Yes, but it shouldnt be.

 

[hibb304]

Just sent one of my pairs back to ndc. Couldn't even bring myself to keep em ,let alone sell em to someone at retail.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

All these quality control issue stories are hilarious. :x

 

[Naruto]

how do you guys fix the tongue? Its slanted completely

 

[VVILL]

mines were slightly slanted. once you wear, they fit back in place.

See. More proof that ppl don't really know what they are talking about.

The previous Military IVs are widely understood to be among the worst quality JB retros of all time. Now, we have people opining for them.

You have the blind leading the blind on here. As Cold City said, people just piggy backing on others' attempts to pick apart the shoe because it makes them feel like they are OG or something.

Look, I'm not going to claim that this shoe is $160 shoe quality; it is not. But, it's not because of these tiny, tiny imperfections that so many of you struggle to find and then post pics of like there's some glaring error. What you guys complain about is evidence of your own noob-ishness. You just know that you're supposed to complain about something, but you don't know what, so you make up and guess... and you get all the wrong stuff.

The overall quality of the materials - all the materials - are vastly inferior to OGs and early retros. In most cases, the shape of the shoes is off. Those are the major issues.

They are going to get dirty and crease a bit when you - YELP - wear them! So, that is not really a problem. It's the construction and design of the shoe - the structural quality and integrity - not the aesthetics of it that is the true evidence of corner-cutting and the precipitous drop from premium material shoe to pseudo-plastic, disposable trash.

But, I don't really complain usually. Why? If I like the shoe enough to buy it, I'm voting with my wallet. Sometimes I accept an inferior product because I want it enough and sometimes I don't. If you're not going to be happy with them, don't buy them. Or return them. If you are keeping them, then don't really complain because it apparently isn't serious enough for you to forego them.

You would think that 4s would be the most hyped sneaker

 

[sneakerfan1]

^

Some of the revisionist history is comical.  When someone praises the quality of those Militaries from 06 I've seen it all.

!@#$ NTSF!!

I can never remember what END is.

 

[poonsaloon]

I'm sure I speak for many of you when I say this but I was very disappointed that JB used the same quality leather on these as they did for the Military Blues. I was hoping that they would have used the same leather as the White Cements because those hold up so much better with regards to creases. Oh well.....still an absolutely stunning shoe though!

You don't need to know then
