***Official Air Max Penny 4 IV Retro-2017?***

I have to agree with all points mentioned. It is so sad to see this shoe deteriorate only because of the materials used.

I did mention this a couple of pages back, Nike should do remastered versions on the Penny line, just like they are doing it for a number of Jordan shoes.

No zoom in the front and now suede midsole = not worth the retail price.

When they are available in outlets, I will get a pair and it makes me actually sad to say this, since I would pay retail if everything would be on point!
 
As a true STAN of this model and colorway, I would have much preferred a MSRP of $225 as a NikeLab edition done exact to the OG than what has released.

Given your take, they are a hair better than the '06s, which I couldn't stand as well.

Of course I bit -- 114 shipped a steal -- and I will bite again when they 59.99 at outlets or urban stores.

But personally, I'm not waiting another decade in "hopes" of them being done right. Nike has made it clear it's just business now, and the days and legacy of the past is just that with Nike Basketball... The days of the past.

I've been waiting for the white/black cw for what seems like forever. I saw them in person and couldn't bite the bullet at $130. Granted I'm going to own these at some point. Like some of you have stated, it'll be around the 60-70 mark. I don't think it'll take that long. If any of you see them at that price hit me up...
 
I would be all for whoring this shoe out in a litany of colors if they had a suede midsole and kept the colors to 3-4 per shoe and the blocking just like the FA exclusives
 
i didnt mind the color but the material was crap IMO. the feel of the shoe wasnt something that made me happy either. i guess they fall in the same category as the recent penny 2 retros.

Yeah, I saw them in person and the blue air unit killed them for me, just like in 06. I will admit that they are comfortable, but Nike really cheapened this shoe out.
 
Under 100 I'll prob cop. Would be nice to get them at $60-70 but you're probably talking Thanksgiving or this time next year

I still have my OG Penny IVs and a couple of FTA exclusives and seeing these retros really hurts that they didn't even try. I'll cop a pair of the OG pair at an outlet
 
This incarnation of the Orlando 4 is an absolute joke. Just looked at em in person. I'd feel robbed paying $60 flat deadass. The heel :x this is just like the air up
