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

[JRepp23]

This was very helpful.

Are you asking about the fit and feel, or just comparison in looks? There is just not to many pics of all 3 together out there. Unless Aquamanjay_ can dig something up.

Thanks for that picture!

 

[elijahels]

I'm in!

Thanks for that picture!

To keep things short, I’ll list the differences.
1. The 1989 was released in a mid cut as opposed to the 2016’s low cut.
2. The OG was made of synthetic leather, while the 2016 was made of genuine leather. The 1989 leather yellows and cracks over time.
3. The 1989 had a less dense polyurethane midsole that crumbled over time. The 2016 has a more sense midsole that won’t crumble as fast.
4. The 1989 had the midsole paint dyed on. The 2016 has a painted midsole.
5. The 2016 retro has decent padding in the ankle collar, while the 1989 had standard padding in the collar and tongue. The 1999 pair has the most padding.
6. The 2016 has a thin white netting that yellows quickly over time, while the OG had a thick netting that yellowed slowly over years.

Overall the 2016 is much shorter than the OG, and it uses genuine leather unlike the OG.

When are the Fire Red 4s droppin'?

 

[thegamemodo9]

^ Rumor they're coming back literally came out today....cool it a bit lol

 

[jordanhead718212]

Not true, they've been rumored for a 2019 release since early this year...

 

[thegamemodo9]

Must've missed those

 

[Aquamanjay_]

There’s no set date for those. Kixsuare, which are the ones who brought the rumor back, says Early 2019, but idk.

 

[jordan4eva23]

that height needs to be fixed

 

[g-time]

Thought it was pinoe77 and DJ Folk that dropped that news early in the year.

 

[marztharealist]

that height needs to be fixed

Correction: The height MUST be fixed.

AT ALL COSTS.

This very IMPORTANT detail, that has been absent for almost two decades, will MAKE, or BREAK this release.

This year's Concord 11 release, shows that Nike/JB, has the FULL capability, to make the 4's, 90% exactly like the original, 1989 release. That "We lost the OG molds" ish, doesn't fly with me, and it NEVER did. Not even a little bit. It's F'N time to come correct, Nike.

Either come correct, or just leave em in the vault. I'm COMPLETELY tired, and cool of the low top BS.​

 

[JamesGage]

pinoe77's dead : (

 

[g-time]

[promac]

Someone in his Facebook group said he got locked up

 

[Kim Fatty the Third]

Shaping up to be an expensive year next year.

Don’t believe everything you hear on the web.

 

[JetsfanQ]

these & them black & red 6s for 2019 & im done with jordans..i agree with some of the comments about the 99 shape..1 of my favorites as well

 

[pr0phecy718]

Sorry I didn't look through...but any info on the retail price?

 

[08kx250f]

Aren’t the fire red 4s supposed to drop too?

 

[HellRazor1978]

1 pair for me please.

 

[Aquamanjay_]

After these 4s, I’ll be done until the bred 11. I don’t see how folks can do what we did today for the concords every month.

 

[airdhazzal]

More pix I right-click saved many years ago. Pics were taken in 2004. OG militarys. Not breds, but that shape tho.

 

[617collector]

Mannnn those 2006 pairs were terrible

JB owes me $115 for that garbage they gave us
