Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro "White/Cement" - The Aftermath - NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING

[rainking]

You live long enough, you see it all. After a billion years of virtually every sneaker lover and NTer trying to keep their shoes clean, and finding ways to restore beat pairs, now we have a company selling a product called "sneaker stainer" so you can purposely jack up your shoes immediately

In fairness, I actually like the way a lot of them look in terms of an art project. But no way I'd do that to my own shoes, or pay someone to do it.

Those wcs actually look a lot better than any of the pairs that age naturally. That yellow midsole is everything. The netting alone looks horrible.

I like the way the sole looks. While I can relate on the netting, I still like how it came out. The "I like when my shoes age with me" speech is true to some extent but you'll never get to wear shoes with such a yellowed sole cause that means they're already decaying. So, when you like the look -how the yellow accents contrast with the white leather upper- it makes sense you'd want to custom your pair.

Yeah that’s a no go for me and I don’t like the way that they look.

What do I look like paying someone to make my shoes look like they’re about to crumble?

Nah... They yellow WAY b4 they're decaying and unwearable especially if you're actually wearing them and not keeping them DS for years on end.

Exactly

 

[vettez06]

That’s cool, but I don’t want purposely yellowed shoes.

I've never seen such a smooth patina even on well-worn to beaten shoes, but that's probably out of not paying enough attention. I'll look into it.

Wore my pair today with the cement print shorts. Way more comfortable than the fire reds.

Newest pickup. Been eyeing for a bit. Pulled a trigger on a used pair. Honestly, they look damn near DS in hand.

How much?

Roughly $370. I had some extra profit in my GOAT acc that I just used towards it. Hurts paying a bunch of money for used shoes but these don't look used at all.

 

[rainking]

Funny, I just sold my second pair of those in about the same condition for $350. Just became less enamored of them due to the shortcomings of that retro (other than the colorway which is my favorite IV other than playoffs).

 

[1988supersport]

When do y'all think these will drop again?

I predict 2024. It'll be eight years since the previous release, and 2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the IV. Granted, I'm just guessing, but that's part of the reason I sold my remaining barely-worn pair.

Can always find deals with patience and timing. Saw a 11 in same condition for $300 locally.

Short comings ?

2016 was butter

Short comings ?

2016 was butter

Facts was decently comfortable and an eye catcher and a very proper retro. Sad I sold mines but I hope next retro they do dome adjustments to the shape, heel tab and FINALLY raise the shoe 1/4 higher like OG and 99s

No they weren’t. Bad shape, square toes, improper proportions to the toe rand, and they’re practically a freaking low top. But I’ll page M marztharealist and let him really get into it if you guys want to argue the point further LOL
Oh, not to mention the netting turns piss yellow with practically any normal wear.

Yes to all of this. Would never want to be without them; not like these were like the 2012s. Lots of great nostalgia wearing these frequently and glad to have them, and hope to get a fresh pair when they ultimately re-release.
