NIKE Air Jordan IV OG White Fire Red: Black Friday 2020: Nov. 28th

[pwguy]

If they slanted the toe like even the last run of Flight '89s the shape would be SOOOO much better. That red is maddening though; hope it a lighting issue. The last pics looked a little off from OG, but much better than what we see here.

Thats crazy maybe its the climate of where you live? in cali I was still rocking my 89 4s black cements and my white and fire reds into the early 2000's even after the 99 retros released. up until the midsoles fell apart but the Durabuck was still perfect in terms of cracking or peeling. I had a lot of shoes even in 89 though and they didnt get worn everyday.

I'm in a pretty neutral climate area. These were well worn, but not beat by any stretch. The only Durabuck cracking issues I've seen with my own eyes or had were those 4's, my friend's silver tongue Fire Red 5's, and a couple of Filas and New Balance that used cheaper versions of the black. They were all within a few years.

 

[you go boy]

saw the pics on the gram and thought the red looked off... thought it was just me so i went on here to see the reaction

Came back after a short hiatus just to read the reactions of the “official pictures”...

Here are the other two pictures from Nike's reveal today. So these things are like an infrared.

Copped, first pic seems darker than second, probably lighting... don’t care either way, copped

Durabuck took longer to crease up badly than leather, it took more than just a few years to crack I would say over 10 , and those new grapes did not have Durabuck since Durabuck hasn't been manufactured since the late '90s. ,

Idk dude, I think the durabuck shoes creased HORRIBLY after just a couple years when the material “dries out” or whatever. At least that was certainly what I experienced.

And while the material they’re using now may not be the original name brand “Durabuck” that was manufactured by some specific company in the 80s and 90s, it is VERY SIMILAR appearing. Nike either manufactured this material or sourced this material to be a near exact replica/replacement for the original.

The only retros I can think of in my collection that have used this white “durabuck” material is the “Fresh Prince” Grape 5s and the Maroon 6s. I think also my 17+ “Copper” Retros use this material, but I’m not 100% on that.

How are people even evaluating the color? The lighting in the picture, filters, and your own display are all variables. We need a side by side with a known release that we’ve all seen with our own eyes before anyone can say what the color is.

I’ve never had an issue with white durabuck ceasing or peeling. I’m sure the actual material has changed throughout the years so that’s probably why some shoes had issues and some didn’t. I’ve definitely seen pics of og fire reds and white cements that are completely peeled.

 

[gxdsavvy]

Copped regardless of the shade of red

need these in my life

 

[whatthehec92]

Na these are a major disappointment. They totally dropped the ball! I see everyone trying to be in denial. Thing is we were already told these are “Tech Red” from what i remember. This is literally the 2014 Jordan 6 Infrared again smfhhh

 

[you go boy]

i mean im copping either way but might just cop only 1 pair... need to see a picture with these in hand to base judgment...but nikes pictures are pretty spot on for the most part... hopefully its just the lighting that throws the red off

Nikes pics are not always on point. And lighting is always a variable in any photograph, yes.

 

[8|24]

Need more people passing so i can finally win on snkrs

Nike pics are, show me where they werent. And to the 2nd point obviously but im talking about in regards to Nike specific product shots.

 

[rob1ne]

Nah these aint it

 

[akademikgenius]

I think its the lighting in the picture.. These are a go for me regardless

 

[1978S]

All this color talk...how do we explain that one leaked pic and that shade of red?

It looked much darker than Nike's pics.

 

[BigSparky1316]

I agree its 110% lighting and editing with photoshop. I bet they have the same type of fire red as the 5s did this year.

 

[BigSparky1316]

Damn we all knew the shape was off but it looks from this picture the fixed the toe. At least in these pictures

 

[appleheaddmv]

In regardless of shade of red...

 

[dawaone]

looks like money saved, shade of red makes or breaks this shoe and if it will look like on that official pics then hard pass

 

[rainking]

Also, is it just me or is the shape looking pretty okay and changed in this pic??

Damn we all knew the shape was off but it looks from this picture the fixed the toe. At least in these pictures

They didn't fix **** LOL. Pretty much the same jacked-up geometries as IVs have been. And why are they using the wrong hang tag again? Not like I care about a tag, but it's just funny how much they seem to not know their own history.

Will wait to see on the color. If those NDC pics are representative, I just saved money again.

 

[1978S]

So we have 3 pictures of these so far. Which shade will it be.....?

OR...
