Repped for the details. Overall, I think they came out good. Like you said, you can barely even notice the gap unless you're up close but all in all, that's a pretty darn solid job. 

I also had the OG's back in '89, they were my second pair of OG 4s that year and I absolutely cannot wait until they remaster these...automatic 3 pairs for me.

The OG Fire Red 4s in particular has special meaning to me because it was the pair I had on feet when I first was able to dunk a basketball.

Thanks for sharing the pics bro!

No probs man, I was too short to dunk then and still too short now. God damn it!

It's all good, if you got skills on the court it don't matter whether or not you can dunk! Heck, Steph Curry misses dunk attempts half the time.

I checked out beat2heat's website...I'm slowly considering getting a tab swap on my fire red 4s. How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

maybe nike doesn't need to put that leather on the huge number of true blues , the true blues typically sell themselves. They can cut costs and people will still pay 220

This release IMO will go down as the release consumers wasn't putting up with Nike/JB's shenanigans.  If these shoes would have been executed well according to their initial statements (promises made when the remastered program was launched), I would have kept my pair.

The white cement 4s are also a shoe that can sell itself.  Nike didn't cut corners on those. They were executed flawlessly for the most part.  The remastered 1s have also been good (for the most part).

This release was just bad all around.  Hell I even copped my pairs (one at retail and one on swoosh) and I still sent them back for QC issues.  If I could have made a good pair, I would have kept them. 

I just can't see myself going from store to store and asking for entire inventories just to find a decent pair.

Everybody quotes different, make sure it includes, tabs, paint and stitching. Starts around $80 or so. It'll be cheaper to do a logo swap unless your tab is broken.

Thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated! My tabs are good so I think logo swap on my original tabs is the way to go
 
Saw sz 10 and up at a local footaction today-and would have grabbed a pair, but man the quality on the leather was ridiculously terrible. My jumpman pair from years ago have much better leather. The blue paint on the midsole was also much more matte than i expected. Never thought i'd see the day that i'd pass on a classic JB colorway, without hesitation[emoji]128546[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji]
 
Not me. Normally I just take a quick glance at a sneaker and if I don't see anything that stands out. Then I purchase it. But this release was a disaster. Every shoe was jacked.
 
Went to Nike Outlet Saratoga and everyone is returning their pairs... They almost had FSR of just returns...

That doesn´t mean they are all flawed though, might aswell be some people figuring out they can not flip them at a pretty penny and sending them back.
 
Normally i dont complain about any release, but im gonna stress to you it was terrible.

I purchased the following and didnt not complain once because there was a fsr in every store online i copped because im avide sneaker collector The metallic 5, the maroon 6,wc4 werent limited there were nooooooo quality issuess there. and theses sneakers sat around a month after release. restocked and restocked again. but the true blues were unacceptable. once again every shoe the guy brought out was noticeably bad,  

MIDSOLE ISSUES EITHER THE COATHING WASNT A CLEAR BASED ON THAT AREA OR ON TOP OF THE WHITE MIDSOLE IT HAD A WHITER STAINS ON TOP OF THE MIDSOLE LIKE "WHITEOUT ON A PAPER"

THE ELEPHANT PRINT I CARED LESS IF THE SNEAKER  HAD MISS MATCHED ELEPHANT PRINT  OR HIGH OR LOW CUTS BUT WHAT BOTHERED ME IS THE PIECES OF CEMENT THAT WAS MISSING ON THE INNER AND OUTTER SIDES at the bottom corners of  THE SHOE. 

GLUEEEEEEE STAINSS I NEVER KNEW WHAT ANYONE TALKED ABOUT ON EVERY RELEASE WHEN THEY SAID GLUE STAINS. TILL I SAW THIS SHOE, WHEN I EXAMINED THE INSOLE OUTER AND INNER, I NOTICED WHEN IMOVED THE SHOE AROUND I WOULD SEE A STRIP OF GLUE ON SOME OF THE UPPER AREAS OF THE SHOE. EVEN THE NIKE AIR LOGO HAD A GLOB OF GLUE ON THE LETTTTTTTTERS

******* IN MY OPINION THIS WAS THE WORST RELEASE SOME OF YOU GOT LUCKY WITH THOSE FLAWLESS PAIRS. I CAN GUARENTTEEE YOU IF SOMEONE SWAPPED OUT A MESSED UP PAIR FOR THE PAIR YALL PURCHASED YOU WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OR YOU WOULD NOTICE THE "QUALITY ISSUES"

*******I COULD CARE LESS IF A SHOE THAT I BOUGHT IS STILL SITTING AROUND , IF ANYTHING IM EXCITED BECASUE ALL THOSE MOM AND POP SHOPS ARE HURTING AND RESELLERS. WHEN I BUY A SHOE IF I LOVE IT ILL WEAR IT RIGHT OUT THE BOX IF I LOVE IT EVEN MORE ILL WAIT A YEAR OR TWO AND BRING MY KICKS OUT WHEN EVERYONE BEATS THERES UP 

PERFECT EXAMPLE FOR YOU THE CHARCOLL 9S EVERYONE BASHED THE SHOE I STILL BOUGHT IT OFF EASTBAY ON SALE DIDNT START WEARING IT TILL 4 YEARS LATER. DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE THESE SNEAKERS ARE......

Need some solid advice, or suggestions. Got my TBs reserved from Nike+ and purchased. Wanted these forever as they are one of my favorite of all time. Was excited when they arrived but I closely examined them. The left shoe is absolutely perfect, flawless. I tried them on and they are extremely comfortable. But, the right shoe is far from perfect. The part I'm having the hardest time with is the off center heel tab. I can live with the rest of the minor flaws.

Should I take my chances and return these for another pair? Are any pairs out there good? Where should I look for a good pair? 

I really want these, but Nike definitely Fd these up bad. ALL my other OGs from this year are PERFECT. I doubled on cements and both are flawless. Was I just lucky until now?

Good luck.Hold that pair and go to a store and purchase that other pair(right shoe) . Then send that messed up pair back to nike or footaction.

I really thought my spots would all be dried up by now. But, I was actually able to find a size 10 at Footlocker. Keeping one shoe from each pair and now I have a good pair that I am happy with. Repped for making me call around. Nike really did flood the market with these. Its like the good ol days again. Thankfully

Exactly

To think everyone is returning them for issues is funny, most pairs I've seen are fine. People just broke and don't wanna tie up $240 with tax for a pair of shoes they can't even resell..
 
looks like all the newer resellers are learning which j's to resell....they will learn that everything og jordan is not gold.
