Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro "White/Cement" - The Aftermath - NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING

Color does look good from this pic, but I see they still gonna give us the xtra long tongue. Tongues on the retro IV these days are just too tall, but it's only because they want the entire Jumpman shown even if the shoe is laced all the way up. Plus J's have always been about having the tongues out but with these recent IVs it's just 2 tall.
 
I want to take this time to thank Nike and Jordan brand for turning me off to this shoe, and inching me closer towards retirement.

The only other shoes I am purchasing are the UNC 1s, and dark grey  1s. 

Don't think I'll be buying anything but 1s, and a select few shoes moving forward. 

Feels very refreshing, to be honest.

whats with the blue pen all over?
Also, its hard to see, but it looks like the netting is at the correct angle

Would be hard to believe that this isn't just a picture of 99's, but if wrong then there's maybe some hope for decent improvements. Shape is still most important improvement, and no evidence of that yet
 
^^^ I think its just placement indicators. The GS pairs had similar marking, but more undetectable.

I want to say those are 99s. But the AIR is too spaced, the heel tab is very straight, and doesn't curve. The tongue isnt padded enough, and you black tongue lining doesnt overlap. Also even if the laces are pulled tight, the wing tabs wont curve into the shoes contours.

This could be the '16 or some knock offs.

The pen was probably done by someone at nike or the factory to prevent people from taking pictures.

If these are the 2016 they look pretty good, although its tough to tell from that angle.
 
Yeah....It's definitely not a '99 tongue....back tab writing doesn't look '99 b/c of the spacing of A-I-R....wings look sewn lower like recent IVs....netting looks angled like OG/'99....Toe's not OG, but doesn't quite look as sharp...though pic angle is difficult to see clearly....it's like a Frankenstein IV with a great attempt at OG, but obviously a new breed..... Can't wait for official pics!
 
I'm convinced that the Oreo IV and Columbia IV is the closest we will get to a proper retro IV.

I refused to buy the latest IV retros (besides the aforementioned) due to the netting, molds etc.
 
The remastered pair grey looks a couple shade lighter than my 2012s Nike air good doe.

I really hope they fixed the netting. It does look slanted like it used to be. That was my
Biggest gripe about the recent 4s. The slanted mesh makes the shape look a lot better
 
Y'all really talking bout slanted netting like the issue is the angle.

They need to separate the netting and the mesh into 2 pieces like it used to be. But it won't happen.
 
^youre right but that seems far less likely to happen, so most of us settled for have it angled.

The fakes can get the netting right, why cant JB? Even though its not slanted, the thickness is there like it should be. :smh:

thats something else i just realized, the 99s has thinner mesh than the OGs. and the mesh is loose on the 99s, 89s mesh sticks closer to the mesh. Thats a reason why the inside mesh got dirty

So will we ever see JB drop the retro 4+ blue speckle that was supposed to be after 25 years of waiting?
