Funny how people love this shoe......but don't really care for the family 1's and the materials are very similar
holy **** those look bad. fancy looking laces, leather lining, and a cheap *** looking canvas upper? I don't see the appeal. slap Eminem on it and "whoa those are fresh!"
Completely agreed. I know people will have a serious hard on for them because of limited availability but no appeal for me.
I liked them years ago and I like them now even though I knew I wouldn't own them then and years later still don't expect to ever own as I would NEVER pay resell for these. Still a nice spin on the 4. It's funny though, when I say I love 4s like the Oreos, Cool Greys, and even the Columbias I get no flack but i f I ever say I love the Eminem 4s or UnDFTD 4s because of their actually creative color combos I get called a hypebeast ONLY because both shoes fetch a completely unaffordable resell value. Hypebeast gets thrown around too loosely on Nike talk
This! For some reason, I like the odd color or odd material concepts. I like being different than having the same white, black or red shoe. But, the color concept have to also flow. Those pro star 5's were pure HORRIBLE!
I was referring to the shoes. You're the one calling yourself a hypebeast :\ IMO if you take away the Eminem branding the masses wouldn't look at them twice. Those undefeated 4s are butter tho with or without the hype
EM/UnNDFT were different back then it wasn't often we got solid color shoe with those materials. One of my all-time favorites are the undefeated iv's and it sucks knowing I'll never own them unless their reps smh
I completely agree with the basis of your post, although I find those blue Eminems to be hideous. but the undftd are real nice. But yeah when someone likes something that has hype or stupid resell price (along with a crazy/different color scheme) its automatic for hypebeast comments. oh well is what it is
It's funny b/c I remember back in the day you could buy UNDFT 4's for like 3k and Eminem's for around 5k, I thought that was f*cking insane for a shoe (still do.) Now I look at the prices they're going for and it's just absolutely absurd. I'm a huge Jordan / Eminem fan so naturally I love the Eminem 4, they call him elvis and he hits em w/ those blue suede shoes LOL.
Low numbers are even kinda high these days. True limited Jordans are dead. Have you guys been paying attention the sh*t people are calling "limited" lately? 313 pairs, now that's LIMITED.
