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

[willtwo3]

Quadrupled up on these, one pair from SNKRS. I’m 53 and have been buying Air Jordan’s from day one up until the Air Jordan 20 or so, I think I am good till it’s over for me.

Need to wrk on my lacing skills!! Need mine to look like this wen I rock them!! Any tips??

Pull the tip through the hole.

nice discipline

Yeah. Also helps hardly anything has appealed to me

hate to say this, but these have more of a banana toe than the WC4s.
copped 4 pairs of the WC and 3 pairs of these BC.
besides the slight toe curl, I prefer these in every other way.

Young heads don't remember how a black colorway back in those days 30 years ago was a statement!!
started with MJ/Jordans and went through the Fab Five.

These are a top 3 all time in my book. The Nike Air sets these off hard.
quality is acceptable, ... only one of my 6 shoes had a very slightly tilted back tab & seam. everything else is on point

On to the next release, what’s everyone’s anticipated release beside the 11 breds returning?

Space Jam 11 low ie hopefully they're GR so can get them on sale

 

[thapointguy]

It varies pair to pair. Mine is very banana, but the pair pictured below looks pretty good.

please take a before/after pic. Thinking about doing the same.

Before I put shoetrees in

With shoetrees in

After ironing with shoetrees still in

Going to leave the shoetrees in overnight but I’m satisfied how these things look now. Way better than that cliff toe trash. Only thing is I will say it does have alil ripple toe to it now but these jawns bout to in heavy rotation anyways. Gonna get creased up regardless. I gotta figure what to do about making the lines white

 

[buddhashark]

Just hoping the wing tabs don’t turn green this time.

On to the next release, what’s everyone’s anticipated release beside the 11 breds returning?

Hopefully OG Fire Red 4s, Military Blue 4s, or Fire Red 5s

Well done. If you can show me the way I’ll send you my hangtag.

What was your process for ironing them?

What was your process for ironing them?

Press iron onto toe box seems logical.

 

[RichKen]

Got mine and they are perfect. Need to move to GA soon, impossible to keep all these shoes in a NYC apartment.

My only question is, what heat setting did you use on the iron? No steam?

 

[illanoyz]

Idiots try to resell everything. They haven’t gotten the memo that this isn’t 2011. In my nearby consignment shop some dip**** has his navy 11 lows in there for $325

I’ll top that — a local “resell” shop in the chi has the yin yang blacks for $380

 

[souljaman22]

Just stopped by the mall to see if I could find another 12 and they did. Got my second pair.

Someone emphasized to use medium. They used high once and burnt some Air Maxes.

Seems like an interesting release day, reading through a lot of posts.
I happened to end up at Beverly Center around 3 pm today. Footlocker still had a few pairs in stock but had just minutes prior sold their last 11 so no triple up for me LOL. Wasn’t going to keep three but when I overheard they still had stock I asked about my size thinking I’d buy it and keep the best pair between it and today’s SNKRS pair when it arrives. But it’s all good, hopefully my SNKRS pair is as solid as my shock drop pair and I’ll be good. Cool to see most people here coming through, especially all of us old ****s
These ain’t perfect but they aren’t terrible, and that black/gray/red just looks so cool. I’m hard on a lot of releases including this one, but the nostalgia got me big on this one for the first time in a long time despite the troll job from Nike on some of the details.
