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

[Magic33]

Never had the 89s, just used to the retro 4s from 2000 and up.

Left pair 2012s. Prefer netting down. Only time til the netting breaks faster on the 2016 pairs.

I've never heard of netting breaking. Regardless they'll crumble before that happens.

Even if we ignore the toe box I'm disappointed in the materials used on these in general. The netting is maybe a step in the right direction but it's still way off from the 89/99. Also the leather. They should've just used that nice soft synthetic leather like the 99s that didn't crease at all. These are real leather but it's crappy so it makes for more defects. The plastic tabs are also more like rubber. These are nice but I'm glad I still have an intact pair of 99s that I can look at cause they still haven't come close to making a real pair of 4s since then.

agree

When Nike builds up a large enough stock of returned pairs. Then they'll go out for round two of quality control inspection. Eventually someone will hold onto the defective pairs for full retail.

sounds like another sell out in the making

15 years to crumble

yes.  never broke the netting on mine or have seen them broken.  only way to break them is to intentionally break them or have it get stuck to something while walking which is rare...

 

[hypebeastftwlol]

for those inquiring about the three return pairs they are no longer available.  thank you.

Does anyone know if there's a video showing how to tie the shoelace knot of these shoes that came from the factory?  I tried searching on YouTube, but I couldn't find this specific knot.

Thanks, but my laces weren't tied like this.  Did these shoes come in two different knots?

it is possible that the netting on the 16 are not as strong as the 99's.  it wouldnt be suprising if there would be some type of problem for the netting on these 16's....

 

[hypebeastftwlol]

does anyone have pics of a used pair of 12's to see how they ended up with creases on them. a deadstock version has zero creases.  thank you.

Got a pair I'm happy with. They definitely run a smidge LOMGER than the 2012. I'd be a little upset if I were planning on hooping with these, but they are for casual wear so it's all gravy.

i think the glue smell is getting to your dog

 

[jessewalls]

I wear AE super skinny black denim on the daily, and they kill my white/light colored shoes with the dye lol

super skinny lol why fam??? you don't have to do that

 

[hoosier bad boy 11]

I"m so heated nike shipped me a damn 11.5 instead of a size 11 and they have no inventory so I'm SOL.

 

[Van Nostrand]

Big fan of AE jeans. But I don't go any tighter than slim.

 

[justed381]

Anyone else think that the quality of the leather on these is similar to the leather that was on the most recent military blue IV's?

nice pic dog

they are the exact same leather as the first military blue and fire red iv retros


toe cap leather is way better though

 

[aj11fan]

Just got these. I don't feel that wwwwoowwwwww factor most are feeling. I thought I'd be excited and all but I just feel mehhhh. Great quality, leather on point, glue smell like a meth lab. Just feel blahhh.

 

[dzxla]

Feel for everyone with legit issues.. fortunately for me I didn't find any issues at all.

For those asking.. this shoe does run big.. which worked out for me because I'm normally a Nike 12 but went with 11.5 for this pair from SNKRS.

 

[richierich5cg]

Go with the skinny Nudies pairs or APC. Dior Homme if you got the cash. Best skinny fit you'll find. Evisu & Prps also have some models that do it well. If you look for them you can find them at outlets or a Century 21 for $100, maybe a little more.

im gonna try these out .I have this weird problem where some 34s are too tight, and then i try 36s and those are too loose.

If yours came without flaws, and you're still not satisfied, I'm gonna assume your appreciation of classic Jordan retros is non-existent. Anyone complaining about the smell of these should just let them air out for a couple weeks. It's no different than the toxic fumes that the interior of a new car emits; it'll dissipate over a short period of time.

Where did they go

I can only speak to the 2012s but I thought those were pretty spot on relative to these. Kind of a shame when you think about it.

 

[dzxla]

Also.. waiting on a size 12 from Eastbay which I'd love to trade someone for a size 11.5.. just putting that out there.

you don't like the beloved new car smell? Never have I ever heard it referred to as toxic.
