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

[perfectchaosrei]

Thing is they never do two good consecutive retros of an OG in row.

Maybe they have before but idk.

Next time these drop, all patent leather upper.

not sure about Jordan’s, but magenta huaraches retrioed twice in the past 3 years. First retro was good, second was superior.

For those who own both pairs, is there a significant difference in fit between the 2019 Black Cements and the 2021 University Blues?

...TTS for both or not?

for me, the unc 4s fit a bit tighter due to the add'l cushioning in the tongue and sockliner. still a tts 11 for me in both tho, i just lace up the unc 4s a little looser

I'm scared to death to buy these on eBay, as there are no returns and I have no way of knowing for sure if TTS will be too small or a half size up will be too big.

It's a big gamble given the prices.

4s have always been TTS to me, never sized up once. Been wearing them since I was in middle school.

Unless your BCs are super tight, I'd 100% go TTS if I were you. Personally hate when shoes fit too big, and every single one of my 4s are all TTS (and I have a LOT of 4s).

Yes, it's always a risk, but that's my take FWIW.

 

[perfectchaosrei]

i've actually gone half size down in the recent 4s starting with black cements with the exception of lightings which I went tts for. tts, for me, is a little too roomy. that said, I have narrow feet. either way, I find 4s nice to look at but mad uncomfortable on foot initially.

 

[millzszn93]

Went .5 down with these and lightnings

No issues

I got a pair of 1999s re-soled.

When side-by-side with the 2019 it's how bad the 2019 is.

Why are they failing so miserablely?

I got two pairs of the ‘19s for retail. Had to iron the toes and pencil-on the lines on the first pair to make it even respectable. Sold my DS pair about 10 months ago. I’ve worn my other pair probably five times. It’s pretty sad how they don’t make me feel something special, really. It’s enough already. Pathetic.

Once JB changed the mold of the 4’s I believe around 2004, they were never the same. The toe box looks like it belongs on a pair of Red Wing moc toes. I guess the folks over at JB see no issue since they started “remastering” Jordans. Maybe they can take some pointers from Nike on how to truly remaster a shoe. The Air Max 90/III and Huarache recrafts are what I call a true remaster.

 

[salacious crumb]

Haven’t worn these in a while.

I decided to wear them to Los Cerritos Center yesterday. I also had my Sunday red on like Tiger Woods on a golf course on Sundays, again.

I basically emulated the 1989 NBA All-Star Game with correlating the jersey and shoes.

to be fair, it took Nike 30 years to get those retroes almost perfect and they still don’t get it totally right

But that's how it was with Jordan retros until about mid '03. They weren't perfect, but the differences were so insignificant that there was nothing to complain about.

These are such a disgrace.

 

[rainking]

These are such a disgrace.

It doesn’t matter, no one should be wearing IVs with modern clothing, anyway.

Na, 4s are timeless. It’s just that they are made in the form of absolute trash now.

 

[Girl Thats Jules]

Imagine all of these great new colorways in the OG shape. There's just too many to name.

 

[rainking]

It's sad I don't even regret selling my extra pair of these. Whenever I pull out the pair I still have, I'm like, eh they're OK. salacious crumb 's top-down pic above ... that idiotic flat tongue always gets me shaking my head. I'm glad I have a pair, but it should be SO much better.
