Official Air Jordan IV white/varsity red RELEASE THREAD 8/4/12: NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[two stacks]

I will say once I tried these on they looked much better. 

 

[srt2evo]

Def no less then a dub 

Exactly what I'm thinking. Might just try to unload them, maybe someone will want them, I don't care if I lose out $5-10 if that's what it takes.

 

[calikush]

I won a pair on eBay for $175 shipped. Jackass reseller told me the shoes are damaged, and he returned the shoes to the store. Why do these dumb people think they'll get rich reselling newly released shoes?

lol bet he puts them up for auction again, he probably just wanted more $$$

Got one of my shipping confirmation from my Nikestore.com order. Got two pairs from them in different sizes. Why they don't ship on the same day is beyond me. Perhaps because I ordered two sizes? I just wanted to make sure I got the right size because of how J's have been fitting this year.

You can def get what you paid for them on ebay, im guessing you paid $160

$177 from SH with the "Vatrefund" code .

.

 Well you can try ebay for $175 maybe more in about a week, either way your going to loose some money.

can't believe JB accepted these cheap shoes as "retail worthy". just as horrible quality as mars IV, if not worse.

white cements were so good. even military was decent. but these...

 

 

[srt2evo]

Check this toe box..looks like frankenstein tried them on.




Also has some sweet runny paint looking leather, tried my best to get it on camera, you can sort of see it, it's also in the above pics at the tip where it meets the sole


Same on other shoe, you can see the "runny paint" a little better on this one near the front right corner, this one actually has ripples, also the frankenstein toebox strikes again, although not as bad


Side of toebox on right shoe (with some bonus glue)


As I said, frankenstein himself walked around the factory wearing these bad boys


Don't know how they managed to get glue all the way up there all over the winglets. Was tough to get on cam but I did my best


Look how high this tag is!?


And a little bit of consolation glue! Don't ask how they got it that high

 

[cowcolor]

for those with the size tag positioned higher than usual, where did you get your pair from?

As stated before I received mine from SH (SoleHeaven). I will have another pair coming to be able to compare this one with.

 

[airbozretroiii]

Saw a friend last night who copped these and I can't believe how high the tongue is on this shoe.
also after 1 wear the creasing was insane. I have mars 4's from 06? compared to these the mare are SO MUCH BETTER.
These are one of my fave j's of all time as the OG's were one of my 1st pairs when I was a kid but I'm glad I chose NOT to cop these
in the end.

 

[airjustin]

I camped out for 5 hours for my pair at Finish Line and my pair doesn't have creases on the toebox at all but the right shoe has scratches on the toebox also the tounges aren't really straight. Other than that my pair is great.

Your comments had me dying

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

^ same with me the frankenstein comments had me cracking up

 

[bayarea23]

All these negative comments are scaring me... I bought 2 pairs, 1 from FNL and 1 from NDC... My FNL order will be here by Friday, but my NDC order is still in progress and haven't even been shipped yet. Hope 1 of my pair coming is on point.

I'm actually one of those who liked the Military 4 retro quality that came with the soft leather. I don't really mind the creasing, and was able to minimize the toe creasing by wearing them with force fields. I also got .5 size smaller to fit it more snug to minimize creasing.

 

[SteveSteve72]

Wow I guess I should be happy I had no money to cop these. @ the quality

i had a high tag on my pair and it came from eastbay.

 

[843airmaestro]

Both my pairs have high tags and they came from Finishline. IMO the military blues are way better than these. I just don't get all the reviewers posting videos that say these shoes are good quality w/respect to the leather. I literally TRIED my pairs on and had creasing all around the ankles, mid foot and toe box, shoes are not supposed to do this. JB cheaped out on us bottom line. Whatever sweat shop these are coming from must be dirt cheap to have shoes produced this bad.

Do yourselves a favor and DO NOT settle for a sub par product in which we pay a premium price, take your shoes back and send a message to JB. I believe you can even send em back to Nike and file a complaint about quality, they will issue a voucher within 30 days or so.

Mine came in today, no creasing until I took the insets out, then it was like the shoe folded in on itself. These are really bad, worst retro in a few years. It's a shame too, I was super siked. I will happily be returning my pairs. I think it's about time we start a petition and cite this release as an example. This leather is really really bad

i agree this was the worse quality that i have ever gotten on a retro.

 

[michigan]

oh hell no that is horrible

both my wife and mine came the same way.  Its as if we all were sold fakes or something.  its crazy how bad the quality was on this shoe.

 

[michigan]

WOW all i am hearing and seeing is that these turned out really horrible, size tag up too high WTF is that?
Anybody else have this problem?

hahah its crazy i feel like we all got sold fakes or something.  So many problems smh

 

[michigan]

for those with the size tag positioned higher than usual, where did you get your pair from?

I got mine from the HOH in Las Vegas
