NIKE Air Jordan IV OG White Fire Red: Black Friday 2020: Nov. 28th

As usual, I put in the orders on SNKRS app at 7am for both me and my kid.

All the infant sizes sold out and I got the "sold out" notification within minutes. However my men's order sat in pending for over half an hour. I thought for sure it would be a L so I put my phone down and went about my morning.

Checked my phone a bit later and got the GOT EM notification. Such a nice surprise! Can't wait to get these. I wore the hell outta my Mars IV, so I'm hyped.
 
Looks like the red part of outsole and black part of midsole don’t meet like they should.

its this i just looked at them again.

I need new eyes man i didnt even peep when i took the pic lmao

i think ill be fine though i wont notice from the top down view but damn
 
Just got my shipped email from Footaction. That was fast. I've never gotten same day shipped email from them.

Similar story to a lot of people ... Pended on SNKRS for I don't know how long. After 20 min, I went back to sleep for two hours LOL. Woke up expecting to see the GOT EM, and instead got the sold out in your size message. I was actually a bit surprised. Oh well, got up, drove to pick up my FTL pair. Only wanted one pair, if that, but figured a second from SNKRS would let me pick the best two shoes from each.

FTL pair is alright, though, relatively speaking from all the pairs and reports we've seen and heard about the QC, materials etc. The leather is basically crap, and there are a couple tiny little marks on the leather between the two shoes, but nothing you can see without holding them in front of your face. The cuts of the rands on the sides are, as expected, not identical between the two shoes, which is annoying. But the good news is, the actual toes/toe boxes match, and neither is nearly as egregious as some of the pairs we've seen. No real pre-creasing, somehow, either. Still, I'm going to have to take the iron to them this week and get rid of this ongoing cliff-toe foolishness. After I saw how easy and doable it was with the black/cements last year, I may as well.

After originally planning on buying these, then changing my mind after seeing the early-drop pics, then changing my mind again just to at least check them out in person, I guess I'm going to keep them but it's almost solely just for the nostalgia of it, since (as I've probably said too many times by now) this model and colorway was the first Jordan I ever had. But this is a very mediocre release overall, at best. I know it could be worse just because the previous retros of these WERE a lot worse, and I skipped them all, but that's not saying much. It's just a shame the leather is about as basic as it gets, the overall cut and shape is meh, and then there's the inconsistent heights and cuts and geometries to the upper's various panels.

In the end, I am simultaneously happy to have my first Jordans back after 31 years, yet more than a little disappointed. Congratulations to Nike/JB for being able to cause such conflicting feelings in its lifelong fans and customers, it's quite a feat :rofl:
 
Welp, I was ready at 9:40 for these. As soon as 10:00 hit, bam I was in trying to buy. Pending,,,,for 30 min till I got told they were gone. This was on SNKRS btw. All the while my wife was on Eastbay and Finish Line trying to buy as well.
NOTHING. Sold out.
Everytime I would go back to Finish Line they would show pairs available, same with Champs as well. Once you got in cart, they told you to get ****ed. Did this over and over again.
So yes, without regret later this evening I paid 40 bucks over retail on EBAY. I wanted them bad enough and still feel like it was worth it. I got em, but this **** is getting stupid. Im glad for those who hit for retail though. Really wanted these. Personal set complete.
 
Picked up my only pair, FTA wL to W. Of course, they charged $200 in store despite the $190 on app. But, all in all, they’re pretty solid. As others mentioned, the materials are nothing special and the cuts of the panels aren’t perfect. But, the toes are pretty sleek and match up pretty well on my pair. NA lookin good, and the bottom part of the box feels sturdy.

darn good pair
 
Picked mine up from Foot Locker this afternoon. I feel pretty good about my pair compared to some of the ones I’ve seen. It’s not perfect, there’s some scratches on the midsole and some tiny creases, but I’m satisfied overall. Such a beautiful shoe.

I’m glad they made enough of these for a lot of people to get a pair. Just wish the quality would have been good across the board.
