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

None of them really look like they've been used. Some have wrinkles in certain parts perhaps due to careless handling or shipping somewhere along the way.

The involvement of traditional European fashion houses with sneakers is a fairly recent thing. I think that what they collectively produce has set really unrealistic expectations for many people on what to expect from regular mainstream sportswear brands. I mention this because of the higher prices. I've seen some comments were people say they would rather spend a little more and buy a limited or high end sneaker. In the mid 2000s Nike put out crocodile/anaconda AF1s for $2k each. It was kind of bizarre seeing uptowns with this leather in NTNY. Even with the quality, they were still uptowns and just put off this "I spent $2k on an $80 shoe because I can" vibe. No matter what they put on an AF1 it's not going to be a dress shoe. Jordans were never meant to be something like that. They had the bin23 series and here you have something trying to be something it's not. Street wear mimicking high fashion. Sneakers have become more & more acceptable in environments in which they were previously disapproved of like jeans made the move from strictly workwear to casual use. Now this is turning into a rant lol. Basically I'm saying Js are what they are. They never were a luxurious, upscale shoe, but rather the most stylish & creative ones to ever be on the hardwood. Yes, QC is better on the originals and you can clearly see that (compare this to the XXX) but at that time there were just a few Jordan releases a year, not one every week or two. You can also debate the change from Taiwan to China. 20-30 years ago most clothing among other stuff was being produced in Hong Kong & Taiwan, territories which arguably have higher standards overall.

imo...this was a hype release for Jb to cash in on...there goal for this shoe was to make as many as possible and spend the least amount doing it...bin23's are dope along with any jordan shoe with premium leather.

Black metallics definitely will be because of the $220 price tag

none of those shoes have smooth leather on them, Jb has good tumbled leather and nubuck so it should be a good release unless they use the same suede nubuck from before. Jb is screwing themselves every time they use wack material...
 
"material, material, material, material, material" :lol: sheesh. Somebody call JB and ask them to make some premium material AJ4s for this dude. Lol, damn. My man need Cole Haans on the court b.

Tbh, I wouldn't want hypebeast leaving this thread. It's comical and entertaining at the same time. Without him this thread would be boring imo.

I sure hope the French Blue 12s, Black/Red 12s, and Metallic 5s thread aren't as bad as this one during and after release date. :smh: :x

This thread was cool before release date :smh: then certain individuals came and ruined it. Now it's nothing but quality complaints and arguing. Worst sneaker related thread I've seen in awhile.
 
Yo nikestore has me ****** up on so many levels. The stitching is all gone on the netting part so its all loose and I can stick my finger through it. WTF DO I DO??

WOOOOOOW. 

Wish I could tell you to go chat with their online associates or their supervisors but they didn't do jack squat for me cause it's a "launch product". But don't worry, they'll take your "feedback".

For @hypebeastftwlol here bro, pinnacle 4s with what seems to be real leather. Here enjoy it, stare at the pic, analyze it, look at every pixel of this picture, look at every square centimeter of the shoe and start a thread about how this is the leather that should be on the WCIV

Those are nice, what's the tag on them?

$400 i think. and probably very limited.
 
I come in to work each night looking for entertainment and something to keep me occupied... This thread has delivered since RD... I seriously think we're talking to a delusional blind female, who just can't let it go... Been on this forum for a long time and I've seen some posters like that here and there. But never like this. Not sure if it's funny anymore or just plain sad...

This guy doesn't stop :lol:

Almost 40 years old and still PMSing everyday about a shoe that came out almost two weeks ago. :x
 
Would love a second pair of WC. Really wish I pulled a trigger on a second or third lair while I had them in the cart.

Needless to say, other than QC, the retailers were screwing up also. Had to argue with Nike to get my gift card processed on this order, employee tells me that you can't use gift cards in the snkrs app. Had to literally tell this guy to google the app and check the updates release notes.

I honestly don't wear Jordans much anymore. I just buy them to collect unfortunately.

They're a better investment than most stocks these days and you won't have to pay taxes on the profit if you decide to sell them down the line.

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