Wear your shoes, don’t save them for that “Special” day unless you plan on selling them later on.

One to Rock and One to Stock.. I stock with the intention of not selling them. These are a classic and needs to be part of my collection. I view the as art pieces and make sure to keep them nicely preserved. I do agree with majority of folks.. you gotta wear your shoes if you want to make sure they last.

White netting on a pair of 2016s is impressive

This was like my 9th wear in the last 7 years. The weather has to be perfect for me to bust em out. Got home and did a thorough wipe down and put it back in the closet archives. It's my only pair.

Mines still white. The shape is atrocious. But this shoe is so nice I let it slide.

If the netting is still white they haven’t been worn outside more than a handful of times.

Twice a year since 2016. Trick is don’t put any solution whatsoever on the net and wear it on dry days. AJ4 white nets are prone to yellowing naturally so water speeds it up.

I sold mine last year but I appreciate how lucky I ended up being netting-wise. They were easily worn 150+ times and still looked like this:
The 2016 shape though
A release with that Nike SB IV mold is at the top of my most wanted list, but I'm guessing we're still a few years off at least.

Crazy cuz this was the first step JB took into the right place. Gave us OG-style detached netting. They fixed the tongue, then the height slightly followed by the toe.
Now the SBs just kill any AJ4. I’m not copping any 4 unless they do the shape like those.

Imo the fact that they nailed the shape on the sb makes every 4 that preceded it trash

Colorway is irrelevant. I love the motorsports but a decent pair doesn’t exist until they update the shape. The shape is deviant and disrespectful.

I really love my 2016 white cement. I never had the original 89 nor retros prior. Is it the toe box that y'all find bothersome? Idk I don't have a reference point so I guess I can't relate to the disappointment.
This is the only shoe I literally baby because I'm worried about the netting turning into egg salad.

The 2016 is a respectable pair to own. Especially in the condition you have them in. They’re the white cements. Me personally I’m a stickler for aesthetics when it comes to these air Jordan’s but I understand everyone is not on that time, and that’s cool.
But just look at some comparison pics when it comes to the overall shape of the shoe. It’s an atrocity imo lmao

I wish I was in a better place financially in 2016 so that I could have purchased two pairs. The lone pair that I have makes me nervous to wear them out of fear of destroying them
