how many people buy lebrons for BBall > # people who buy Jordans to ball in
thats probably why

So the fact that people buy more Lebrons than Jordans to ball in justifies getting less of a shoe and quality In Jordan's but still paying the same amount as a well made pair?

Man I couldnt agree more.  The Lebron 8 felt like a 160 dollar shoe, even though I only paid 70 percent of that.  Now, had the White Cement IV looked and felt exactly as the 99's did, I wouldnt think twice about spending 160, even though they still wouldnt be as comfortable as the LBJ 8 was..  However, the garbage that will be released is nowhere near worth 160, and its a shame that most people will buy them no questions asked.  

The IV is the most butchered retro made since 2004.  They chopped it in half, took the padding out from the ankles and tongues, screwed up the midsole/air unit, crappy stitching, used rubber for the mesh, and made it look like a banana.  Im surprised it doesnt weigh less than the Kobe VI.

Hell, this shoe shouldve decreased in price to 90 dollars. Its pretty sad that you can now say the Jordan IV is the cheap version of the Flight 89. 
This is one post 04 Model that Im proud to say I dont own any of.

I still think Nike know there market, most of the old retros of any shoe are for street wear, not many actually ball in them, except for sneakerheads, and we aint that big a buyer market.

So they make the retros shoes cheap, and hock em at escaleted prices.

And you'll ALL buy those IVs, regardles of minor changes like the grey addition to the sole, and you know it.

I know i will.

And so do Nike.

you're apathetic towards such criticisms.

still need these.

not justifying anything. just saying that people buy jordans these days just to rock and people buy lebron's to ball in (mostly)
JB knows people intentions of buying jordans arent to ball in.

these are horrible, so far from what I have seen.
If these retro like they have been shown in pictures I WILL pass.
It'll be really easy as a matter of fact. I'll just sit back and watch all the sneakerheads (hypebeasts) buy these because they're J's. Also will watch resellers buy up stock to list them at $250 but only get about $180 to $190 thus only making about $7- $17, Minus shipping and 4% if it's not a meetup.

JB I'm done with you guys, go ahead and keep manipulating and screwing over your customers and enthusiasts, the very ones that, made you what you are today.

It's still a long way to go. We won't know how the final product will look like. Give it until Fall and we'll know. These will be my final pair.
