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

Might try to get them even though I hate the price mark up. Haven't bought any since they started jacking the prices up with this so called remaster garbage.
 
In in in. I hope you all pass, I'll certainly cop your pairs. This may be the rare occurrence I double up and keep both.

I want to cop 2 pairs also, but don't these run the risk of crumbling if you keep them DS too long? That's why i'm hesitant copping doubles of air bubble shoes.

i can't confirm, but according to most people are saying after 2006 Nike changed the midsole compound and they no longer crumble just separate when glue deteriorate.

If you're not going to wear them for that long, chances are you already have a good sized collection, so realistically, are you ever going to wear out the first pair enough to need the second pair?  By that time there will be a re-release...
 
God.......

That shape, & that GOD awful Aladdin A** TOE BOX...

IS JUST...

Man, I swear for $220+ tax we should be STRAIGHT gettin' nothin' LESS than this quality...

It's PAINFUL, & SICKENING to look @ the '99s in comparison.

It ain't NO **** reason the ALADDIN PEs that were gettin' should be $220+

H***, for that mold & Chiquita toe box they should be $100 even.

THIS $20-$25 price increase EVERY ****** year is startin' to KILL me.

By the END of the decade, Retro Jordan's are probably goin' 2 be $500 a pair.

I swear y'all, JUST let me get the Black/Cement IV's, Black/Metallic V's & the Black/Infrared VI's with Nike Air & DURABUCK/Good Quality

And I I'll FINALLY be COOL off of Nike/Jordan Brand.

I'm GOIN' to REHAB, I'm THROUGH with this ****.

Calm down bruh. It's just a pair of shoes. 1999 was 16 years ago. If you want the 99s so bad go buy a sole swapped pair.
 
anyone else think the speckling is a little too dense? lol it kinda makes the cement look more tech grayish to me.
 
You want to know why the quality and molds were better back in 1999? The shoes were made in Taiwan, the same country where the OGs were made. Taiwan made Jordans had the best quality. When they shifted production to China, the materials and the overall shape of the shoes really started to go down hill. It's not Jordan Brand's fault alone, I blame this squarely at Nike for cutting production costs for a higher profit margin.

With that said, these look pretty damn good. Some things could look better, but these are more than acceptable for me.

Exactly my thoughts man. I'm glad you re affirmed my thinking. I have so many shoes, that I highly doubt I will wear the one out (even though WC 4's are my favorite shoe of all time, period.) I guess I could cop 2 pairs and just sell it down the road if I don't think my first pair will get beat to the ground. Don't worry @AirSakuragi  i'm getting a pair for you and me first then worrying about my second

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