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

 
 I already know that the height/shape is gonna be ******, & I'm gonna have to DEAL with it. I WISH they could have the shape & height of the 99 retro, but that's just a DREAM at this point...
 ​
 ​
 ​
Anyways...
Here's TWO more pics from @shoulee81's Instagram.
 ​
 ​
Upon FURTHER review....
I'm in!

Leather looks decent, I just wish they were $190, & NOT $220.

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 ****.

Man wtf?

How are you gonna post about saying "I'm in", saying stuff like "It's a dream at this point" to get 99s sort of mold and "I'm just gonna DEAL with it", "Just wish it was cheaper" and then LITERALLY your next post is complaining about the EXACT SAME shoe how its "painful" and "sickening to look at" and your complaining about the price.

 Get out of here with that nonsense. Pick a side and stay there.

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!

Taiwan had that good good.

More then likely the first run of retros were produced in the same factories as the OGs, so when a retro was due to come out, they knew how to make them because they made them before. Or if it wasnt the same exact factory, it wasn hard to get the same blueprints and materials. China had a hard time translating the materials and blueprints because it was trying to replicate something that wasnt originally produced in their country. That's why they have a hard time replicating every little detail of luxury items that come from Italy.

I think this is the reason we wont ever see the molds the same.

Lol forget a day when they're "made in the usa" id rather see a "made in taiwan" day

This day and age, you really cant expect more. The fact that they corrected the netting shows that they are at least trying to listen
 
 
Can't front, these look good. I thought I was done with JB, but these...now, if I can only get my hands on a pair at retail....
So I assume the resell for these will be pretty high? Im trying to cop them for retail as well

People keep talking about how they corrected the netting, but y'all do realize that even though the angle is correct, the material is completely off?


OG's and 99's had two piece panels. Breathable nylon mesh AND netting over the mesh. All modern retros have had the netting attached directly to the nylon mesh. The netting wasn't thin and perfectly boxy either, it was thicker and a bit rounded.

It's a small detail that doesn't really bother me either way, but I don't understand why people are commending JB for changing the angle when there's so much else wrong with the molds/materials.

So i assume the quality of these will be better than the 2012s? My 2012 fire reds creased so badly after only like 5 wears

Look closer at the images and read some of the details, the netting is no longer attached to the mesh(essentially two pieces) on these new versions as in the OGs.

:wow: Well damb... That pic does look like they're using OG style mesh.

The top view angled pic looked like the mesh used on all the other retros.
