No doubt. Seeing they’re a year post release was curious. Got some more catching up to do in this thread too

They’re definitely pretty damn soft and I think they did a great job with them. They’re a little softer than my 2017 pure money 4’s. I’m looking to complete the pack and have 3 of the 4 colorways. The weather isn’t really that good to wear all white just yet but as soon as the winter is over they’re getting worn. The tongue’s are a lot thicker and they look like they’re going to be a little better comfort wise compared to most of the other 4’s that have released since 2012.

Grab them as soon as you can. I’ve been watching them on a daily basis and the price seems to be climbing on that colorway. That’s the only pair I have left to complete the pack. I got the purples for retail and immediately went for the red because that was probably the best color out of the 4 so I figured the price is only going to go up. Just got the green metallics on GOAT for $365. The orange metallics are around $315 for size 10-10.5 right now. A couple of months ago I could’ve gotten them for around $250-$260 and I now regret not pulling the trigger when they were that low.

I noticed yellowing on mine after like 5 wears. I kept them out of my box on a shoe rack in my apartment's entryway. I also sold them on ebay a few weeks ago. Still like them a lot, but had to make room for something else.

How do these fit compared to unions? I heard unions run a little big so not sure how to compare, that’s the only pair of 4’s I’ve had in a while and they do feel a little but.

I’m surprised they would let that person sell those like that.

Mine seem to be ok for the most part. The greens I got have slightly janky stitching but it’s not as bad in person. I’ve definitely seen pairs though where ( like you mentioned ) the top of the tongue’s were not holding a straight edge or shape due to the stitching.

Finally completed the pack. Although the red is probably my favorite colorway out of the 4, I gotta say the orange pair I received is super clean and seems to have the best feel.

Would you consider the pure money pair as a close second to this pack? Same color blocking but with silver?

Thanks man, I just had to have this pack completed and the J4 is easily my favorite Jordan all time. Yeah I absolutely would consider it a close 2nd and I get that they just re-released those in 2017 but I honestly think that those should have been part of this pack because like you said it’s the same damn shoe or same type blocking/colorway just silver. I actually almost included those in the pictures I posted here but I didn’t because they’re technically not part of the Metallic pack. I actually cleared out a space in my stack of retros so that they all lined up side-by-side.

The green pair is defintely a clean one. I want to say that this is the pair that cost me the most on the secondary market when I was trying to complete the pack. And that was when prices were still somewhat affordable. Now every colorway is like $600 and up depending on size. The fact that the netting yellows as easily and quickly as it does still irks the sh*t out of me. I really can't believe Jordan Brand did that. What the hell is the difference between this netting and the netting they used on say the 2016 white cements ? I've worn my WC 4's roughly 25-30 times and the netting is still nice and white.Love these should’ve coped a second pair when prices was affordable lbs

Crazy brother and that's dope that you have a 99' pair. What they hell did they use for the metallic pack ? I mean obviously it's an inferior material but I just can't believe they did that with such a beautiful shoe/ /pack. They look so nice the way they are and when the netting yellows it's the biggest eyesore ever.

I’m very sorry. I don’t how to start a thread. I’m 49. I love the four. I’ve always been a lurker. But I read everything on this site. I don’t know how to start a thread. I wanted to know what should I do with all my AJ 20’s. I have two stealths, the western Carolina Blue from Las Vegas. The Quick Stike. The “Playoff”. I bought two pairs of the Darth Vader’s wanting to cut the straps off.
