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

[RustyShackleford]

The 2016 wc4 toebox was bulbous. I’m hoping they corrected that over everything else

I have given up hope on JB with regard to the toebox. I think I might roll the dice and try to reshape the toebox myself with the iron trick.

I have been practicing on some cheap joints

I hope this discussion on the color of the rands on the durabuck doesn’t go the direction of the infrared/contrast discussion in the infrared thread

Ok, but there is the thing, what did they use on the Jordan 7 lows then?

Because I own a pair, and they have pretty clear grey lines, and they did from the jump.



Or the Metallics from 2016...

I thought about the Metallic Vs before I made my last post, but I feel like a big part of it is straight up that the Vs have more panels and edges.

All of what I'm saying are just baseless thoughts though so I could be full of ****

I want the edges to be more visible just like you.

I love how the infrared 6s we don’t see pics until maybe 2 1/2 to 3 weeks of release date but the 4s we get 5 months prior. Haha so random

The more I thought about it, the new Infrared 6s are supposedly "durabuck" and their lines don't pop that much.

Bruh, I am gonna stop thinking about this because at the end of the day JB should just use the right material and not have people accepting compromises.

3 pairs! Amazing. They look better than that garbage 2012 rendition.

I'll be showing up to the office after release day like...

Wonder what my boss would say?

We’re already there chief lol.

Copped!!!!!

 

[lamekilla]

These look like the fakes from back in the day on 3dkicks.com

JB was gonna get my money for a pair of these regardless however. My 2012’s are done. Scuffed them in Blue Flame last week

 

[nflowshoe]

I need to see these on feet. For some reason Jordan 4s look funny off feet to me

 

[salacious crumb]

I’m just happy midsole paint and chipping has been fixed for a while now. My 2008 CDP pair looks like it’s been chiseled down by Michelangelo.

 

[KanyIZZY]

Excited.. 2 pairs.

Fixed height will look crazy next to my WC 4s. I hate when pairs have different shapes. It was weird having the 2015 Hare and Bordeaux, which have completely different shapes.

Bordeaux was more true to og right?

 

[suchafraud23]

We basing durabuck on grey lines now

Shape wise I think the Hares were.

Can't wait!!! Need Fire Reds next!

Because the 4s have been basically a lost cause since the first retro in 99. They’ve made almost no improvements since they completely butchered them in like 03-04.
-They’re still basically low tops
-Toe box is all wrong
-Heel bump is missing
-Netting is still way off

These pictures confirm that they’ve addressed none of those issues. The mold is exactly the same as the recent white cements.

The hell pics are you looking at?

 

[Aquamanjay_]

Bordeaux was more true to og right?

Yes
If that ridiculous toe bump weren’t there, it’d be perfect

 

[rainking]

Seeing the Concords, then the Infrareds, then these makes me start to agree that the Cement 3 from last year didn’t even try to fix at least the shape. These 4s may not be quite the 99 or 89, but they look better in shape than 4s after 2004. The 3s shape got worse each time it was brought back.

Start to?

WOW! I’m actually really surprised! Never thought I’d see the day when they even attempted to fix the shape on these.

Bring on FIRE REDS!!

 

[Aquamanjay_]

Start to?

Start to?

It didn’t bother me, but now it’s starting to lol. More and more models keep getting closer to the OGs

 

[gokublack]

Is there a guide for the toebox fix wouldn’t mind tryin it

 

[Magic33]

Start to?

Dudes find ways to complain and whine
