People on NT...

"Been waiting 10+ years for this retro! *takes a group of all the similar unworn shoes"

Straight to feet.

 

[buddhashark]

My how quickly our standards change.

 

[rbk93]

Feel roomier and comfier in general. Think Nike has heard the pinky toe complaints?

Can you go TTS in them now?

 

[Davey Magoo]

Decided I’m going to double up. Kinda glad I didn’t hit on the shock drop now. Some pairs coming in looking kinda boxy in the toe. Obviously all the best pairs will be sent to the footstores per usual. By best I mean LN3 and LN4 pairs. Can’t wait.

I thought LNM was the gold standard?

I thought LNM was the gold standard?

Only folks who have LNM pairs say that. LN3 is actually the gold standard.


lol

 

[BGB23]

I forgot I should always add a picture of the ones I wear or you guys will get upset LOL

My pair arrived before I got back from work. These are beautiful in hand, imo. Fortunately my pair is pretty much flawless besides the widows peaks on the toes. Definitely looking to get a second pair next month.

Spoiler: 👀

Thanks JB for making us wait 35 years to actually appreciate these!
LN3

Can you go TTS in them now?

Absolutely. I still bought my size before in the older mold and just walked thru the pain until they broke in. But these feel perfect out the box.

Absolute beauties! I love the FRs, but just got rid of them b/c I just didn't like wearing them....kind off toe shape and materials quality and overall feel...I just rarely reached for them so in the spirit of downsizing sold them. Really hurt b/c conceptually I love the colorway, 4s are my favorite, and NA looks amazing....But tired of having boxes just sitting with rare wear.

 

[ModernMade]

Wifeys Gs pair showed up, man terrible quality. ..to the point where imma just send them back. Glue stains, weird shape...straight garbage.

I can't speak for anybody with 'normal' sized feet but I got big feet. So I learned the hard way I can't just walk into a store and get a pair of shoes. So I wind up getting shoes on the release day and almost never get discounts for anything notable because while I walk/run/ball in my shoes, once my size is gone it's like gone gone. So some pairs I doubled up and have the 2nd pair DS, or sometimes it's other colors that I have DS once I find a hoop shoe I like to play in. And I play outside a lot so you go through shoes a lot faster like that. But mostly it's the size. If I had 'regular' size feet I probably wouldn't even be a sneakerhead.

Anyway, I got my pair and I'm happy with em. I had a double up of the previous release and wore those around and they were so bricky I got ankle pain so I returned both pairs (to the mall). But I also had the OGs and played all kinds of street football and did other stuff in those joints. Been a while but I'm happy with this new pair.

Like somebody said, that new-shoe smell on these 4s is intoxicating. Only stronger smell was on the AMM3s. Those things would knock you out cold if you breathed in too hard

I was in the shoe closet like Pookie from New Jack

“Military Chloroform” IVs?!?! I am gonna leave this subject alone….

 

[rbk93]

Thanks. I’ll see. I’m stuck with a 11.5 unless I can size swap it for a 11.

Just wish I could try on both sizes to see sizing difference.

LN3. That wear testers dude is gonna have an aneurysm when he sees the insoles.

 

[makecracknotwar]

LN4

 

[OldManJays]

Man these pics have me really wanting my pair. Cant wait for rd. Even though this is my least favorite og 4 it’s looking like Nike did a pretty solid job on these. We need white cements and Fire reds looking like this now (and regular BC’s too, for that matter).

 

[TheShortestStraw]

Materials. Reminds me exactly of the plastic leather on dunks. To be fair I was never crazy about this colorway, thought I’d maybe change my mind after seeing them in person.

Really??? Hmm…hoping to hit on these. Curious to see if others have the same feeling regarding the materials.

 

[buddhashark]

Can’t feel the materials on ig, bruh. Who cares about those?

the 50 shades of white 4's

what the hell is dreamcell?

My pair feels nothing like dunk leather. Not premium by any stretch but definitely nowhere near as cheap as dunks.

 

[dhtowng]

what the hell is dreamcell?

Cheap mid grade insoles. They’ve been using them for a while now. They were used in L&Fs for example. Not their worst insole but they should’ve used polyurethane insoles like they’ve done on other recent OG retros.

 

[trappedintime]

Insoles never matter to me. I’m putting my own polyurethane insoles into any Jordan I wear.

 

[buddhashark]

Is PU what OrthoLites are? I like me an OrthoLite.
