No they weren’t. Bad shape, square toes, improper proportions to the toe rand, and they’re practically a freaking low top. But I’ll page @marztharealist and let him really get into it if you guys want to argue the point further LOL
Oh, not to mention the netting turns piss yellow with practically any normal wear.
Word. Now you got a pair next release and some money. 2024 makes sense.
Unless I got sold a pair of fake WC4s, the two pairs I had were night and day as far as quality. The first pair I had was basically like the Jumpman branded retro just with a Nike Air heeltab. 2nd pair was better in all ways(most importantly fit) but it had slight separation on the sole. Wasn't the reason why I sold it, but neither pair was perfect. Was just glad to finally own them.
Man I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with this shoe. To me it was a damn good shoe compared to the 2012, I didn't have those but those were straight trash, bricks on feet, trash leather that chipped, wrong Grey color midsole, those definiturned yellow on netting.

I still remember buying these off fb marketplace. (Before how it is now, when it was more chill), that's how important these were to me. I went to the mall about 30 min away and met in a parking lot with an old head and we chatted about shoes for a hot minute and when i opened that boz man i was giddy, stayed in the car for an extra 20 min just to look and appreciate these.
These were good leather for me, creased real nicely on toebox, never really turned yellow, decently comfy, great to look at and EXTREMELY versatile. These were my go to next to royal 1 2017 and I wore those all the time! Those were good retros.
Regarding shape that was a little bit before thth"remaster" campaign or maybe i. Was just getting started can't remember but Nike still to this day aint giving us proper shape cause they dont want to so it is what is is.
Here's a few of my favorite pics of them, first 2 in 2016 last one i. 2017

I didn’t have a “bad” experience. I loved having them for a long time. But as time marched on, I stopped caring about them that much. I’ve spent tens of thousands on shoes over the past 30 years. Have made a lot of it back, too. Win some, lose some. I’m just done hanging onto stuff if it doesn’t hit me the right way. These did for quite a while. Now they don’t. Objectively they are, I hate to say, not great. Comparing them to 2012s means nothing. Anything is good compared to 2012s and the dark days. I’m not dogging people who love them. They’re just not for me anymore. Plus, you know these are coming back sooner than later. Cashed out on my remaining pair while I could
Well I was born in 95 and got into Jordan's in 2012. I had a friend who was an OG so I was learning about OGs. So the 2012 I was familiar with.
I ain't knocking ya pimp. I'm sure you seen the OGs and all those good Ogs and 90 retros. I'm the same way I don't buy many Js like I used to. I like the playoff 12s but not getting them cause the shape is off and materials trash according to nightwing and didn't get royalty 12s cause they not taxis.I didn’t have a “bad” experience.

The indigo 12s. Return to og leathers
Of the WC4? Only the 99 was good.
You fool, you forgot to mention the shoe in your own avatar ...
Haha I actually didn’t forget.You fool, you forgot to mention the shoe in your own avatar ...
XIs and those VIs are super solid. Fire Red Vs right there with them (other than the tongue). I keep wearing one of my pairs to kick around in, and they keep looking better and better with wear and tear.
I know what you mean but it seems we're never getting that material back, white or black. So I've stopped using that criteria
Generally speaking they do usually do a better job on 10s then most retros. Usually all pretty good.
