Unfortunately the toe box is too plush on some pairs which causes the shoe to lose its shape. Once they are worn they will look like a leather baseball glove that was left out overnight in the pouring rain.

the ivory snake af1’s have the same type of overly soft leather

I was satisfied with my co workers pair that he copped for me.... my third pair will come on Friday.... anyway it’s time to go to bed, gotta go to work at 5 am and do another 12 hours....

Bottom pair is the one I picked up today (hang tag), the top is shock drop pair, the angles from top view do these dirty.

Edit - for spelling and grammar I’m tired AF

These are sentimental to me. My wife gifted me the Mars on July 22, 2006 as a wedding gift from her to me. She got up must have been at least 5 am to wait in line to ensure I got these. Receipt shows purchase at 7:08 am for $115........fast forward to 2020, I had to get these because I know my Mars were close to breaking down and crumbling eventually.

where you located? i remember walkin into footlocker at like 11am and they were still avail.
i do remember the 115 price point which was amazing

i miss my mars too

All Jokes Aside, I Hope Those Of You Who Were Eager To Get Hands On These As I Was Are Able To Enjoy Them In Their Entirety For In The End What They Are; A Retro Sneaker Made In A Factory In Vietnam.

Dug Out A Few Original Apparel Pieces I’ll Be Enjoying Adding Even More Wrinkles To My Pair Alongside:

These are damn near unwearable with ankle socks thanks to that heel-tab sticking up like a sore thumb digging into my skin. Gotta rock knee socks and tuck them in from the back. lol wtf $200 for the most uncomfortable shoe ever.

2012-2020... had to have these, my very first jordan!

Yup, they definitely dig into heels, one of the things I hate about retro IVs.

I don't know, I haven't had a pair of retro 4s dig into my heels the way the 2012 4s did. I'm wearing the PSG 4s right now, but they're a softer rubber tab.

Can you tell us if the OG were as heavy as the retro please? because i can't believe MJ played with heavy shoes in this era. The 8 were really known to be heavy and hot, i can believe it and i had the 8 when i was young and yes there were a little heavy, but the 4 were mid cut or low cut and must be really light and lighter than the 6 or the 8 or the 5.
Those 4 fire red retro are more heavy than my 6 all star. It is just not possible for me.

Had this in '89 and wore it regularly for over a decade; would love to find a new one! Did it ever retro?

After looking at my pair again, the left slope is really a work of art. It's contrasting with the right that makes the production issues so obvious. Had they both been like the right, I would know it wasn't correct, but wouldn't be so irritating without having the dramatic side-by-side view. Mine are very similar to Nightwing's; maybe the right isn't as cliff toe, but very much in contrast to the left.

Amazing how the diff factory lines can be so dramatically different. We've seen differences before, but this is like they used the wrong specs altogether.

received my pair but the box was damaging


The toe box leather is different. I prefere the right shoe because his leather is more flexible.
But of course the left shape toe box is better than the right shoe.


They said that the foam was more confortable than the BC but i don't see any difference. Maybe inside i feel a real air sole unit, even in the forefoot when i plush with my finger. For this reason i think they will be really more comfortable than the air 5 and 6!!

Last thing i don't understand, i don't feel anything, the shoes have no smell, odourless!!
Size 9 without the insole and with.

are the white cement iv really releasing again next year?

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

The only cement releasing for you is this chunk ima bout to throw at your head

 

[allonakaoak]

Got this email from FTL

"Due to a delay in receiving the Retro 4's from our vendor, the shipment of this item will be delayed.

We expect to ship this item on or before December 4th."

Worried that what they really meant to say was expect to cancel

Nobody has Richard's tracking info yet, right?

Says something about 12/4

I've got to say I was pleasantly surprised by my pair when I opened them. Yes the shape could be higher and the toe could be a little more slanted, but over all they did a pretty good job IMO. Usually I'm one to nitpick details so I'm surprised these look as good in hand as they did. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I end up rocking them with quarter socks.
