AIR JORDAN IV “ Lightning” - AUGUST 28th, 2021 - Shoe of the year voted by NikeTalk

[perfectchaosrei]

I feel you. I loved looking and wishing for the 06 pair when I got into the game in 12.

I LOVED that golden yellow and I was hoping these would be the same color but there's 3 different yellows and gray instead of black. All besides that, I love the lightnings and this is minimal, still super clean on foot, compliments and love the shoe still

2006s were also yellow and grey tho.

I actually think this is one of the times the retro is better than the OG

I agree on the shape definitely.

You are right. I always thought it was closer to black and more darker grey than these.
But what I did notice was the 21 sock liner, nubuck and laces were 3 different shades of yellow. But that's a small detail, I still love the shoe and finally glad to have them

They sent these Fedex Express and I got them today, I guess that makes up for the Lasershipping I've gotten from them

Lightnings touchdown yesterday. Nike upgraded to overnight shipping. Definitely won't complain on that.

Quality control issues on my pair. The yellow isn't yellowing like I remember the OG pair and the yellow is already starting to have fading issues on my pair from snkrs. I guess I just have to be satisfied with what I have in the set......now patiently waiting on the white and tour yellows to complete the set

Nike's releasing red thunders. I need them to re-release OG thunders with this new silhouette.

Do these have the usual black and white sizing sticker on the insole or is it all white with black numbers?

Depends if you have an overseas pair or not.

Already offed my Fire Red 4s but think have a trade for Bordeaux 1s lined up later for my 4s. Probably losing the trade long term but 1s just more comfortable.

I'll be back around for Military Blues and a WC4 retro. Try half size up then.

 

[jordanhead718212]

These fit different then all my other 4s. Toe box is tighter, hurts my Big toe sometimes. Not too comfortable...

 

[seandon23]

Are you guys going TTS in your 4s? I always found that going TTS I gotta break in the shoes a bit and then they’re fine.

sounds like you guys may need to go .5 up if they feel tight on ya

 

[jordanhead718212]

Yeah I always go TTS in 4s, but I never really have had to break them in. Guess I will with these.

 

[rbk93]

TTS. Went half size down on 2016 WC4s and the fit is better on those.

Finally cop a pair from the last SNKRS restock and I feel like these were worn smh. Debating on returning. Those small scuffs are annoying.

Doubt they are worn, probably just Nike QC at it's finest.

Doesn't look that bad to me.

...small price to pay for copping a shoe you really love imo.

 

[rafbuddy]

Just wear em they’ll be scuffed in a week lol

Anyone know who it was that played in these on Tuesday? Couldn’t find it in the comments.

LSO as a company can suck a ****. I finally hit on a pair of these on the last SNKRS restock only to have them stolen from me in transit to my house. Of course LSO bum asses have no answer I had to take the L and ask Nike for a refund I’ve basically given up on the lightening 4s at this point. I hate thrives **** LSO

I cringe Everytime lasership pops up as my courier. Luckily haven't had anything stolen yet. Bred toe lows came a few weeks ago thru them and had the golf 4s and bubblegum 1s delivered today. Sorry to hear that though man. Luckily Nike packed them in the most anonymous box ever. No Nike tape no Nike shipping label. Just a brown box with my address.

After you wear them once, you won't even notice them

 

[mikejordanshoes]

what’s the best way to clean the nu-buck on these? got some grit that i can’t seem to wipe off.

 

[jordanhead718212]

Lincoln EZ Cleaner should work
