Jordan IV Black/Red Reimagined - February 17, 2024

[ill4eva]

Just remember - if

This “leather” has a 1/4 inch of polyurethane on top of it. You won’t hurt nothing.

so you measured it? Lol

 

[SoleTrain79$]

People really moding these shoes out like we did civics and integras in the 90s

 

[xmigzx]

Naw, I'm too afraid I would mess up a $240 shoe.

Yeah . But seriously, it’s coated real leather, like every other Nike shoe. It’s probably not black though so you’ll have to repaint it if you go too far.

People who ordered from DTLR, whats your status?

Mine shows "Unfulfilled", should I be worried?

It's Sunday

Are they on backwards?!

 

[rainking]

Not mine but very interesting

I guess I'd have to see and feel that modified shoe up close to know what to think. It's unfortunate a lot of people seem to think the lines they add should be white, though. Really they should be gray. I added them to my 2019s with a colored pencil and it works and looks great. Only downside is that it mostly comes off when you clean them, so you have to reapply the lines.
Anyway, I was at a mall today and finally saw these things in person (only small sizes left). Even though that tumbled surface is apparently a fake finish, I like how it looks and feels to the touch. Definitely a unique material for a retro Jordan, unless it's been used before on something that I'm forgetting or never saw for myself.

These don’t even require manually added grey edges/lines. The shoe already has them lol.

It’s overly white. It was never painted white like that makes it look like the shoe is reverse stitched it’s that bad. And the leather looks terrible. At least add the matte coat. By all means if you want your $230 shoes to look like that, go for it! Look like dirty undies rubbed all over reps

Maybe it's age, but my 89 pair looks pretty light and almost white.

The raw edges on these looks blue, throws em off. Whatever dyes they used gives it a bluish, grey tone. Might grab a second pair to play with.

chrome tan leather base, the most standard type of tanning process, cross sections gives it a blue-ish hue. Nothing special.

Durabuck is synthetic nubuck, therefore the cross section color is different than genuine leather.

This is what I imagined the reimagined would have been like.

 

[JRepp23]

Original fans are still chasing original Jordans. The greatest reason to be a part of Nike talk. Love it.

found a video that shows 2019 vs 2024

Dudes acting like they know what’s what until someone posts an actual 89

 

[trappedintime]

They don’t look white to me. Looks like raw leather. The painting to make it mimic raw leather is the cheesiest thing dudes do now.

 

[engineer]

Looks white to me.

 

[RustyShackleford]

If a pair of Bred 4s ain't looking like this, I don't want em....

 

[airdhazzal]

not mine

For anyone who never saw/felt the OG material, it was hugely different from today’s version. It was soft but nothing like suede or faux suede. And you could see the grain in it out of the box, just like on that pair above. And it seemed to almost have an oily finish to it, though it wasn’t something that came off or got on your fingers. It just looked almost moisturized. The smell was good, too
Overall it seemed like a premium material when you put it next to normal black-leather Nikes of the time.
