AIR JORDAN 4 Black/Cement/Grey BLACK FRIDAY via COUNTERKICKS 03/08/12

any idea around when the twitter nike reservation happens (or exact date if its been announced -- i tried to skim thru the thread but way too many pages)?

i want to get these legit, but don't want to drop $320 for them early like my roommate did.
 
The fire reds were almost a whole size down on my feet. A half size wasnt tight enought a whole size was too tight
Eh kind of odd. I fit an 11 pretty average little room little tight and compared to one of the shoes that are definitely half a size big i fit a 10.5 in the playoff XII.
 
Well the 12s fit half size big, just like the current run of 3s, 4s, 6s, and 7s. So you wearing half size down in those makes sense.

Yeah i know but the fire reds were an exception for me in that they actually fit true to size but everyone's feet is different so ill just go with my regular size 11 with this release.
 
iJapino said they fit like the WC IVs, so I'm just going to go off that.

thing is I didn't care bout those shoes so I didn't keep up with the thread and so I don't know how the white cements fit

There was some disagreement about the WC's, but I think the general consensus was to go down 0.5
For the most part recent IV's have run approximately 0.5 too big
But as always, to each his own

yup they were 1/2 size too big
 
I'm very impressed with my pair! They finally came today.
They look good. But the "black looks too black" and the laces look too "lacy"

. Still one of the best lines I've read around here. 

Lookin' good rmms. I can't wait to get my hands on these!
 
No complaints here...

Sorry Boss but this pair its "early release" b-grade...

Check the nubuck line , how the stiching "meets" the grey outsole...

A lot of early IV have this problem..

It should be like this :

NO HATE of course...!!!

By the way, i am happy to meet you again in the new NKTALK !

EDIT: Also this is not me soliciting a sale or trade. I dont do that on this site. Only through a Chicagoland facebook group
^I agree. I hate all recent VIs because of it. I passed on all but the Olys that just came out and regret with a passion getting those. I guess I was just thirsthin for that colorway. The blue is too dark, the toebox makes the shoe look like boots you would see a male stripper wear in a parody porn, the icy blues browned up fast (even if you didnt wear em), and they were a full size down. There is not a single good thing I can say about that shoe.
A true size 11.5 in all 2010 and 2012 VI retroes look like **** and it is because of the toebox. IDK how much I can sell a slightly used pair for because I truly want to get rid of them. Only thing wrong with them is the midsole on the heel and toe arent pure white from me wearing em a few times and the sole is already browning.
But I just have this thing where I can't sell something unless it is a good deal for me. :/ Hopefully I find someone who is thirsthin for them and I can arrange a trade where I will give him shoes and maybe some money on top for something he has that I want

:rolleyes Ooooookay lol

So the second pair pictured isn't an "early release"? Even though these don't release for more than a month?

Also, could that line (stitching meeting grey outsole) have to do with the two pairs pictured being different sizes?

Just trying to make sense of all this.

Lot of misinformation here.
Mods arent Gods, but I would study up a bit more before calling out IJP on his pair, he would know whether he got B-Grades or not

The poorly lined up leather, running into the grey outsole is an unfortunate feature of many 2006-2012 retro IV's. This is also the source of some of the banana toe effect.

Recent IV's have had this design flaw regardless of whether they are early release or not.
It has to do with the bootleg mold that JB is apparently using. Unless your lucky, your release-day model will have a similar problem

And as stated above, the pic you compared it too is also an "early release" model anyway
