Air Jordan retro IV THUNDER QUICKSTRIKE 12/22 before the end of the year

[sunshineblotters]

^^^My friend has a shop and I saw the shoe. Kinda hard because the picture in the catalog is very small, but it looked like black/yellow with the QS tag.

you mean these? I guess it would be nice to see them with the correct shape but still, JB you could do better.

I am guessing it will be early December then considering all the other shoes dropping mid-late Dec.
These are one of the few IVs I can pass on so I will have to see pics to know if I wanna cop.

Thunders would be ok...some white in that shoe to balance it out would've been nice.  Black/yellow used to be a favorite color combo of mines on shoes dating back to when Dunks were popular.

Scratch what I said before.  Cool Grey's and Lightnings would be dope although in both cases I'll probably have to take the L and cough up the bread for eBay pairs.

Correct Sir. I also saw a Jordan Christmas 1. All red with green laces. Looks like :x

If those red suede 4s are to release, it better be now and not towards the end of the year. The holiday season is already gearing up to be a full scale riot with the 11s and 4s.

 

[sunshineblotters]

Cool Greys would be a double cop. Thunders meh. I will prolly pass if it looks exactly like the last version

 

[brennanizm]

If JB drops another IV, i hope they "Black Friday" it, so grabbing the Black-Cement IV can be a bit less hectic... this won't happen, I'm just thinking out loud

Mist 4's are in the bottom of the totem pole for me, I would even put the Pure Whites ahead of them. They look too ridiculous for me. But of course, that's my opinion.

Mists are cool... I like them with white laces... CGs are dope tho, definately my favorite retro+ cw with the Yellow Tour...

I couldnt stand the Cavs on pictures but I changed my mind as soon as I saw them on feet...

If you count all versions of the same shoe as one, I would agree. Only the Thunders and the White-Chrome with no netting would be under it.
Even the womens Sand IVs rank higher than it imo

Sand IVs are dope...

I love them on picture but on feet im meh. I guess it is cuz I dont have anything to match them cept all black. I dont even like wearing other blues with those bright colors. But the bright colors is why I like them

Sand IVs are dope...

they are dope, just womens only.
That list is missing a few of the newer womens colorways like the white and purple that kinda look like the militaries and the valentine's day edition too, which both outrank the mist blues imo

I had them in size 12 (women) which is equal to a size 10.5 (men)... 

 

[frenchblue23]

I remember those Sand IV's. Nice colorway.

 

[limitedretroog]

Man, I wanted these...

 

[futuredhughes]

Perhaps a brand new colorway of the 4s?

I have always wanted to do that for some of these women shoes, i wonder if they come in size 13 or 12.5s

I went to a forum and they said that womens feet are shaped different ant not to try. But few shoes i like are comfy anyway. Should've tried my luck. Now these days "women" shoes are gradeschool sizes.

Has nothing to do with the quality at all(and FTR you can't tell me a shoe in 2012 has great "quality", the materials will be lackluster at best...maybe good compared to other retros but that doesn't make them better, and don't get me started on the fit/feel of these retros).
The DB/Cavs 4s look horrible, they use 3 of my favorite colors to wear and they look insanely ugly/fake, limited or not shouldn't be a deciding factor when determining how nice a shoe is. I would like to see another color of the 4s but I don't expect much & I likely will pass just like I have/will on every pair so far besides the white cements(which turned me off once wearing them).

You sir...are crazy. The cav IV's are straight fire. The quality on those are as good as it gets for retro Jordans. I get that it isn't saying much....but if you don't like the quality on the cav iv's, then you'll HATE everything else from the retro Jordan line that has been/will be coming out. I've never held a DB iv so I can't speak about those. But the cavs are solid. It just seems like it's a common hypebeast trend to just hate on quality all day with retro Jordans. WE GET IT. QUALITY IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. But understand what retro  Jordans are these days. I'll say it again...if the cavs are not up to your liking quality wise, just stop copping any retro Jay's going forward.

If they're going to release a yellow 4, please let it NOT be the thunders. I like the tour 4's and lightnings WAAAAY more. The lightnings are probably too recent to rerelease though.

 

[sunshineblotters]

I agree with the Tour Yellow being rereleased if any colorway. I wish it was either the Cool Greys or a brand new colorway tho. Or the motorsport IVs would be nice too

1. I think by even being in this thread/forum knowing how things are now means I've at least accepted how the products are being made to continue keeping a watchful eye(I don't know if people that complain understand that complete concept haha). Maybe it's me but if I don't like something I won't go around it. But with that said I've passed on most releases the last couple years if that makes you feel better sir.

2. Never said the Cavs 4s weren't "good" for today's standard, think that speaks more to how things are today though where releases become so poor at times that average products become viewed as great. That's where my beef comes in, I couldn't care less if they're "great" for a 2012 release, they're not great overall and the curve won't be made for me. Quick example: like teachers grading on a curve. You like when they do it because it helps, doesn't really though because you didn't actually learn **** and you'll be messed up later. It's nice when they "step it up" on a retro, but at the end of the day they're subpar & end up not being the same.

3. Different strokes for different folks as far as looks go. I won't say you can't like them, they're ugly & fake looking to me(just based off color blocking alone).

 

[limitedretroog]

Or just re-releasing the Thunder and Lightnings as a single pack.

 

[carlosar33]

I need the red ones!!

 

[beansietime]

Man, I wanted these...

One of my favorite 4s, the netting is yellowed on my pair now though. I still wear em anyway.

 

[carlosar33]

Man, I wanted these...

[jay23oth]
