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

Can I get some honesty around here? How do you guys get over the banana shape while accepting these are supposed to be OG IVs? I feel like if OGs were produced in '89 with this shape, they would be sent straight to the factory dumpster. Do you all just accept that this is as good as it is going to get?

I buy for the nostalgia and the fact that it's my favorite Jordan of all time. The banana shape doesn't look so bad while they're on feet. Yes I would like them to be as close as possible to the original (shape included,) but that's not what Jordan is giving us. If I want the shoe I have no other choice.

The picture you seen are unauthorized versions, these are probably just getting into production and people are going by what they see first instead of waiting for official pictures.  You never know what might happen with these but people keep going by authorized pictures of course they're going to be disappointed.  Wait until the official pictures come out and see.

The shoes are pretty much done. They're sitting waiting for distribution next. Thats why we're even seeing pics this early. You gotta stop feeling the need to have a rebuttal for ever comment you have contrary feelings about.

A shoe to be released in February already done?  AirThompson I don't think that's right, look at the production dates on some shoes, they usually have a two to three month timeframe. The only shoes that are done a long time before the release dates usually are Super/Holiday GRs.  My Bordeaux 7s have production from January to April, a timeframe of four months.  So unless these are a Super GR then it either going to have a timeframe between now and December.

Remastered line was introduced around June '14. We got a glimpse of the Oreo, Colombia, Bulls over Broadways, Chicago Xs, etc in July. Almost an half a calender year before they dropped the line. The shoes are being completed, if they're not already done.

Just to give you an idea, remember the Seahawk color VI's and the B/Red AJKOs from earlier this year? Sitting on the docks collecting mold? Now if they finished production and immediately shot em to retailers there would've been a problem. The fact is these shoes sit for a good amount of time.

To those who had 99s were they more comfortable than the other 4s after 2004?

I keep hearing they were but did anyone here have 99s and the most recent wc4s
Click to expand...

99s have a real nice insole that's thick and shock absorbing. The padding is plush and leather is soft making them very comfortable. 04s were amongst the same quality minus the insole, and slightly less padding.
 
Shape in that new pic does look better than the 2012 models but what is up with
the heel part? No buldge on the back heel pull tab area. Looks like the UN-authorized
China pairs. See how the back heel tab area is straight
Downward. :smh:

Word I was just talking about the toe box area and netting. You're right tho There is suppose to be a slight bump
 
Anyone remember when this list popped up around  Late 2014?

A lot of this stuff actually dropped

I looked back at  it because I was thinking about how the Cement 4s were mentioned with Nike air

And the City Pack 10s

I think Pantone 9s were on this list too

Any word of who started this list?

To me that list was pure guessing. They got some right sure, because all you had to do was think hmmm when was the last time Hare 7's were released on their own? Never. 

 The only ones he got right were 

 Columbia and Oreo 4's (which were announced before this list was posted) and the hare 7's. and the 13 lows. That isn't that great of a prediction haha especially since the two were already announced.

 I remember this list though, because I was so excited for the TB3's (even though we knew 3's were going into the vault) and the OG WC and BC 4's.

this list was weak, the OG city pack Xs aren't even releasing, it's just some new plus colorway regionally exclusive 10s that will prob be ugly. And this list released after JB said the 3s were being vaulted.

Never took this list seriously

That list is almost 100 %. What are you talking about? The only ones we haven't seen anything about are the home xx's, 2 of those 7s, the 3s... I have a feeling they saw pictures of what's coming over the next two years and some of the names are assumptions, like the Motorsport 4s actually being the marquettes. I bet we see those 3s next year.

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