Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro "White/Cement" - The Aftermath - NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING

[Nike Still Sux]

So did they correct the netting finally??

Like the homey @HipHopSays said, the only "remastered" shoes JB have dropped have been the OG 1's

I'd say the Columbia and Oreo 4's could be lumped in with the 1's as well.

Joints up top look like Fakes.

I think the Air Jordan 4 might be the furthest Retro from its OG at this point.

They're excellent, however, the overall shape is nowhere near OG 4s.  Would love to talk to someone at JB and ask them why they don't try to get the OG shape back.  I don't expect perfection, however, it's so far off, it's as though they're not trying.  They're deliberately choosing a different shape.  Mind you, the OG tongues where not shaped nicely at the top...kind of jagged...but overall, they haven't improved it...just changed it.

You guys will never get that OG shape

I'll try and get the WC but the shape on 4's are terrible

 

[pwguy]

You're right...unfortunately.  I think if I get these I'll quit for 15 years and enjoy wearing down the collection I have.

I hope you all realize Nike will never do those old toe box shape again. The reason they have rounded toe box now is to give your toes more room, so it's better for our foot. Same reason they stared doing U shape heel instead of the V shape at the collars.

that's because they most likely are fake

 

[Bert.]

They are fake


But the shape is true. Lol

 

[blco02]

Authentic 4's have looked like fakes for years now. Any 4 past '99 has been laughable. They have the banana toe shape, they are too low cut, the netting is off, the tongues are too long, did I miss anything?

 

[rhinosport]

That shape is a travesty.
At least give us this...

Yup. Shade of grey used looks great too besides the shape. Could use more speckles though

 

[Chill Bill]

Damn that's crazy, son. You mean you came to a discussion forum and saw actual discussion?

@ any post on this page (if that's what you're referring to) being "long paragraphs".

Yeah B i was shocked
I'm use to seeing small responses when it comes down to the sneaker
"cop"
"no cop"
"fire"
"two pear"
"quality good"
Only time I see long reponses is someone got offended
Nice to see discussion though

Comfort wise, what's better? OGs, 99s, or recent retros?

 

[dankenstien88]

Never had OGs but 99s were 10x more comfortable than 04+. They had more plush padding throughout the construction of the shoe and used the squishy thick insoles found in Old XIs and Vs.

Those insoles were the truth. My 99s are still comfy to this day.

Are they even more comfortable than the insoles of the 2015 Chicago 1s?

 

[kennmo08]

Yep. The Open Celled PU foam + those AJ 11 insoles made all the 99's hella comfortable.

 

[madvillainy2004]

why is it that all the wings on retros past 99 are lowered and placed closer to the midsole? I like them raised more to the top of the shoe it makes it look 1000x better doesn't look like it will happen on the cements tho
