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

[rainking]

Because I don’t care for the way this shoe came out I’m willing to experiment with them

So are you going to give my idea a shot, then? Get to the store asap and buy one of those pencils and post pics! I’m looking to you to be my proof of concept LOL

Yeah I’m down try try all suggestions posted other than RustyShackleford talking about putting a flame to them

 

[doublemesh96]

You can’t ruin what’s already ruined. They can only improve.

 

[da hen]

Will deez crack like the 2012s?

No

based off these pics the 19 looks the worst.

Plus I’m pretty sure the pencil can be removed, as it says. So seems like a no-risk proposition.

I don’t know what they did to those ‘19s but the toe definitely isn’t THAT bad on them.

SHEESH THEM ***** ARE ATROCIOUS!!!

The thing about colored pencils is that it will come off with water and won’t work that well with the material of the edges.

 

[dhtowng]

NVM.

Probably a larger size

 

[KHUFU]

Well, so much for all of the talk about these being lows now, or how jacked up that shape was, or how off centered the Nike logo on the back is...never doubted that these were gonna be good. Never doubted that these will be magnificent to ball in either. One pair for ball in the summer, one on standby for fall/denim wear.

seen this on IG circulating but nothing from no one else

Is it just me or did no pairs from the “2016” white cement 4s crack or paint chip

They are made for marking fabric, not regular colored pencils. If it comes off, reapply. Still think it’s worth a shot.

Mine still have not cracked or chipped. They are also comfortable to wear.

Same as my BC3s....

I beat the hell out of mine

Not a single sign of cracking or chipping

guess these are hit or miss when it comes quality. hopefully may 4th dates are better/

 

[barithekidd]

Took some more pictures of my pair, the grey edging really adds to the overall design

No disrespect, but these are the worst I've seen thus far. Pray mine don't look like this.

 

[Greg Surels]

For some reason that NA bothers me
Nike needs to have a focus group..just regular sneakerheads to let them know about things like this.
They probably wouldn't care anyways. The problem I have is that i know they could have done better..

Watch this.

Pretty good vid. Had me laughing a few times. Either way I have to have at least one pair if not 2.

 

[1978S]

Probably a larger size

But what about @I Am Si Guy 's pair. So far he has the best looking pair and he confirmed his a size 11.5. Like we've said earlier, larger sizes in these may be better than smaller in terms of overall shape. This is never the case typically. However, I just think every pair will be hit or miss no matter the size. You don't know what you're gonna get.

guess these are hit or miss when it comes quality. hopefully may 4th dates are better/

Again, as we've seen so far you never know what you're gonna get when you open that box.

And that's some false hope thinking the ones on May 4th would be any different. These are the same pairs, just released a couple of weeks earlier. They've all been made months ago. It's not like they're in the factories right now producing fresh pairs for the May 4th release.

yall too tense

they are just shoes

let people complain

i appreciate tonytobacco and what he brings to the table

 

[jaysfordays9]

What happens when they get wet though? Wouldnt the fraying get worse?

What exactly do you plan to do in your BC4s? Lol with fraying you usually have to have friction to produce more fray.

I have zero idea what you just said right here.

OK lol, I get what you said. My point is when it rains and or snows, the fray may become worse. I dont know because I have never put a knife to a pair of shoes for a cosmetic benefit.

"No pairs" wouldn't be accurate, I remember one or two people in the WC IV thread saying that it happened to theirs; but Jordan Brand has almost entirely solved midsole paint durability problems with the remastered gimmick.
