A Ma Maniere AJ4

[206to813]

I only seen that one pic with mold for these joints

If it’s just the one could be fake.

I wish NT offered a middle finger emoji.

Anyone who is planning on lace swapping with creme laces should get waxed creme laces. I put a pair from the TS RM in and the wax goes really well with material of the uppers. I prefer the factory laces but it’s a nice alternative.

The fact that this needs to be explained is sad lol. It’s crazy because the people who don’t do this are usually the main one’s complaining about a shoe being “too tight”, “uncomfortable” or my favorite “the shoe crushes my pinky toe”. All these can usually be solved by simply re-lacing the shoe with your foot inside. Make most shoes look better too, when done.

Side note opinion/observation (and slight annoyance): Pinky toe discomfort complaints have gotten way out of control on NT. Like bro I don’t want to hear about your pinky toe. Loosen the shoe or size up lol.

TBF, 4s are known to be tight on the pinky toe. It's just how the build of the shoe is.

Staying factory. Not with the sail laces on every shoe revolution

 

[SayPokeGai]

I think it would also look good if you had laces that were the same color as the tongue tag (plum?), just to subtly break up the monotone color of the upper, rather than having a complete contrast like cream or black.

Who got some Plum Dunk laces

The build of the AJ4 was even slimmer in 89. I was in agony by the end of the school day that year.

 

[jordman23]

Honestly I’d prefer some Military 4s NA over the Manieres.

The packaging and quality is very good for sure, but I’d take OG color or the Unions any day.

Union 4s ? With the stick of butter midsole/sole? So many things disgusting about them craps. Only good thing is the box lol

Yeah. Those Unions are garbage juice. Looks like a mock up that they just said "F it" and ran with it. Lol

The butter sole
The wing tab thingy
The colors used
The stitching
And of course…
The tongue

All horrible lol. All colorways

 

[206to813]

I’m sure I’m alone on this island but I think both Union 1s are the GOAT jordan collabs…
Aaaaand literally every other project they’ve had is a huge swing and miss including the wack dunks.

 

[rbk93]

Guava Ice 4s are grails for me.

Don’t take him serious he don’t even wear his shoes, all of em got shoe trees in em, they’re just trophies and paper weights

Black/Red 4's is the only OG 4 I will take over any 4 collab, OG, and retro + colorways.

thats why for me, if the OW black/red 4 ever release, they would be my all time favorite 4's ever. But if they never release, they would remain in that realm of Undefeated and F&F Travis 4's list for me.

You must not really care for 4s. Cool Greys are probably the second best colorway for 4s.

 

[vinotwofour]

dawg I literally said "to me" lol. Cool Grey 4's pretty low on my list of 4's. Miltary Blue 4's are my next up non collab 4's

Those OW4s are so good. I'll say it now, it'll be SOTY whichever year they drop after 2022.

 

[jordman23]

You guys crazy taking maniere over unions.

I know I’m in the wrong thread and the minority here but still, ain’t no way.

 

[lazybread]

I would take almost any GR 4 from this year over any union 4. It would be a toss up with the purple and green joints from this year.

 

[2potroast3]

What are they at now? My guess would be lowest would go around $350

$390-$420 in size 11 before fees

 

[Neocortex]

AMM4s are the best collab 4s to date but that’s not saying much bc all the others are super meh. PSG 4s might even be slightly better tbh. I get the feeling that’s the colorblocking and design AMM would’ve wanted if it wasn’t already taken

 

[witnesskb24]

My favorite top 3 released:
White laser (at one point had 3 pair )
White cement
Mist blue

Top 3 sample:
Blue laser
UNDFTD
Wahlburger

These things so :fire
