Air Jordan IV “Black/Cement” - May 4th 2019

[fdub]

That's crazy. The OG 4s dropped Feb 1989 and the 1st single off that album dropped like the next month. Just think, they used to consider this provocative.

February 15, 1989 to be exact

This comparison is great. It shows what’s hard to put into words and what I’ve thought about all the 4 retros since the 99’s. The new ones are just thin looking. The OGs and 99s just have a fullness and bigness to them. It makes them look so much better.

Look at that netting and shape on the ogs!!! They didn’t even try! They never did after the 99. Why????

 

[Beezy Wax]

Wow, that collar!

I really wish they would've released the Black Cement 4's, instead of the Black Infrared 6's, first. I know it was because of the All-Star game in Charlotte, but it would've been ALMOST perfect!!!

They haven't done it, because they know we love the minor, but crucial details. Just like the shape, and height... they took it away. Knowing the we're still gonna buy them regardless.​

 

[marztharealist]

You said they were releasing today MARZ

I know man, I know.

My predictions were SUPER wrong.

[doublemesh96]

Wow, that collar!

Bruh....it’s like it’s not even the same shoe

aww shizz, been waiting on a fineline

didnt see the gs

Not surprised no drop today. Seems too soon to me. And the start of the Playoffs ... pretty sure the Bulls in ‘89 didn’t bust out black shoes until they met Cleveland in the ECF, so there’s no significance as far as the actual start of the playoffs goes. I was hoping for it, though.
EDIT: I’m totally wrong with my facts. See below. NVM

 

[marztharealist]

Wow, that collar!

After 1999, they took everything we EVER loved about the shoe away. The 4 silhouette itself, became a real live fake.

This is hands down THEE WORST takedown, in Nike history.

Cleveland was their first round match up. New York was second round. Detroit was the ECF.

This is why marz thought wasnt too crazy.

 

[JACKFROSTY843]

I love how thick and puffy the 99s and ogs were. I came up on late 90s early 2000s skate shoes so that's prolly why.

Assuming the materials will be the same on the men's sizes, which is most like will be...

The lines on these are straight black. They are not even as good as what is on the Jordan 6

Mannnnnn **** JB. I refuse to give them money for half assed products

We've seen completely different shoes for men's before tho. Masters for example

I doubt it will be the case with these.

 

[SlatanicPanic]

I doubt it will be the case with these.

As long as the Nike Air is still on the outsole in Men's sizes. All's well. I don't have much of a doubt that it will be, grade and younger sizes get different markings on them, like the next sizes down will probably only get a Jumpman on the back.
