Jordan IV Black/Red Reimagined - February 17, 2024

Crazy how all of a sudden everyone love shiny leather when we all hated it a few years ago…especially with the blk/cem 3s 😂😂😂
It’s not shiny leather though. That super matte look is not how any leather Jordan has been produced. This is a rather neutral finish, even after hitting my pair with a couple mink oil treatments
 
This is what beating the final boss looks like! LN3 from SNKRS:pimp:

The cuts of the leather are different too:

LN4 has thicker cuts

LN3 is thinner

My thoughts:

These are sexy and might be the fastest shoe I've unDS in a while, but now that I have them in hand I'm with team "these ain't better than durabuck"... Not the 2019s and it's flat black nubuck, but the real deal joints

Weathered 2019s that acquire the grey outlines do look good though, but the shape is not it

These are a super dope alternative till Nike/JB gives us that crack we been waiting for cause the shape of the 2024s are undeniable... I don't want to hear nothing about durabuck no longer being available either, give me what they put on the 2015 aqua 8s and I'm good, just keep this shape and it's a home run.

Captain cornball signing out :nthat:

Yea I ended up with 3 LN3 pairs and 1 LN4. All have good shape but the LN4 pair has seriously thick leather. Like twice as thick as the others.
 
This thread having it all so far :smokin

-Hang tag boyz, might as well rock the ones from StockX

-Dude getting mismatched tumbled panels but thinking it makes them look “cool”

-Factory boyz return, all pairs trash or fake unless LN3

-“My order still stuck on pre shipment”

-Dudes not buying resell unless there was a receipt, fake or not

-Sleek retros vs the 24 clunker debate

-Durabuck vs leather debate

-Folks trying to modify the leather and making them trash, and pretending they don’t regret it

Y’all lmk if I missed anything :nerd:

Don’t forget about everyone who hated on these early on and now copping doubles and triples.
