Those close up pics seem very "Fire Red" to me more than Varsity Red, and that's a really good thing.

They look Varsity Red to me. This is what Fire Red looks like.

I remember when the 06s came out and everyone complained about the quality, 6 years later the quality is even worse, I would rather just save my money for another shoe.
Is it really worse? The quality of most of those IVs in '06 were

How are they worse? If the leather is anything like the 2012 White/Cements, then they are automatically much better than the paper thin leather used on the '06.
 
Ol David Bowie in the video up there ^^ might as well start calling these the "Varsity Reds"... Not the Fire Reds, it's been official for months

I'd rather have leather that would crease easily than the garbage they used on the white cements I have. PLUS the cracking seems worse on the '12 military blues than the 06s
 
I'm shocked this thread only has 5 pages considering release date is this Sat. Guess people don't have a lot to say about this shoe.

I have DS Mars IV's, DS 2006 Military blue IV's, 2012 Military blue IV's, 2012 white/cement IV's and I WAS planning on buying the 2012 fire red IV's this weekend... until I held them in my hands at Footlocker yesterday.  I'm telling you guys... the quality is even worse than in 2006.

The pair I held, that was just taken out of the box for the first time, already had a crease across the toe and on the side of the shoe that was supposed to be all smooth, there was a patch where the "leather" was wrinkled.  The "leather" also felt really plastic-y.

After holding them in my hands, I changed my mind and will not be buying them this weekend.

To those who do not have Mars IV's, these will have to do, but if you already have Mars IV's that are still in good condition, as I do, do NOT waste your time with these.  Even the manager of the Footlocker who showed me the shoes commented on how bad the quality is!

you've said this already like 6 hours in this thread, we get it, im sure every pair in every state wont be THIS BAD.
 
They are cool, i just dont know how i feel about jordans with painted midsoles anymore, my fr3's , mars 4's all had the same fate.....Cracking and Chipping Paint!
 
quality isn't worse probably the same. People talking like the 06's were good quality. I'm satisfied as long as the midsole paint doesn't crack as easily as the mars.
 
My 06 militaries look like **** with all the cracking. I mean I did wear the **** out of them but managed to keep the uppers pretty clean. It's just too bad they can't do anything about cracking.

I dont know what pair you got . But my connect at footlocker showed me a size 9 on sat and they are not bad at all no different from the 2012 cement 4 that came out theses in no way felt like plastic may be you had a pair of kd's or lebrons in your hands. Maybe it was just that pair or maybe your trying to kill the hype. I just hope your not type of person that bash a shoe then have them for sale on your sig.
