Air Jordan IV “Black/Cement” - May 4th 2019

[galove]

The wait seems so long for these

The Concords were dope and the Infrareds were also. I see no reason to think these will be terrible. These will be the best retro of this shoe we’ve seen in a long time, I’m calling it now. Can’t wait

That’s super optimistic. I wish I could have that same outlook, but 4 retros have a long history of being butchered outside of the 99s. So even I’m hopeful but remain skeptical. Either way I’m copping one pair. Too dope of a cw

 

[504kickzSuperior]

Lol either way we all copping

Slant toe, banana toe, camel toe, I don't care. I am grabbing a pair for on court and off court. These are some of my fav shoes to hoop in.

Lol of course they’ll be the best retro we’ve seen in a long time. All that butchering since 99 the bar is low af..

Best retro we will see?

Hmmm

visible grey/white lines = instant cop for me

Is there a reason the NIKE is offset on these? I don’t recall it being like that on the OGs

 

[SNEAKEATER_619]

Looks like the wings still have that stupid gap though

Because they’re probably UA pairs.

 

[suchafraud23]

No I think if you look at the 2016 cement 4 it’s like that as well

Also what’s the wing gap??

I'm wearing them now, it's not.
And wing gap is the width of empty space inside the triangle.

The NIKE
A I R
is offset because the tab is not as wide as the OG so there is not as much room. Although all they had to do was shorten the Swoosh and that would have solved that issue or just use the same size tab. But for some reason Jordan likes not going in 100% so they have something to sell us 5-6 years down the road

 

[Vile.in.Va]

I thought we were talking about insoles here

I know this ain’t it but they appear to have the edging on the panels and a more slanted toe here

 

[doublemesh96]

Looks like "banana" toe was replaced with "ripple" toe.

That being said the profile is 110% better! Thanks for doing this and showing us the results.

The ripple is gonna happen because you’re basically concaving the material that’s making the toebox look bulky. In person it’s not bad at all I don’t mind it.

It was probably rippled prior to ironing. I think he used a pair he didn't care about messing up. My grape 5s have rippled toe.

Yep, used a pair I don’t care about. Netting is super yellow.

What gap? Someone elaborate
