Nike KD 4 Retro

[detroitonfire]

No, it's a distinct difference in quality of tech on feet. Much less the differences in higher and lower end basketball models.

What you're saying is air is air, and a pair of Air Max 1's are just like a pair of Vapor Max. It's a lot more than marketing. If you played in some Lebron 21's and then played in some KD 4's you would know this. This is why I pay no attention to most people on NT when it comes to fit or comfort.

We’re on separate pages, but we can clear that up. You’re comparing two different types of setups. I’m saying they’re using the same tech that you are calling ancient in new releases currently. Kd4 = full length phylon+small fore foot zoom bag-2011. Ja 1 = full length phylon + small forefoot zoom bag-2023

Vapor max has a full length max unit where as an air max 1 only has air max in the heel of course they’re different.
The LeBron 20s and 21s are almost an identical setup to the Melo M9. Heel and forefoot zoom with cushlon midsole.
Same way LeBron 9s have the “Penny” setup.
The question that was posed it what makes the kd4s not a modern shoe. I was simply providing examples of how the same exact tech is utilized the same way today but it’s just marketed differently.

I'm 100% sure that is a protro pair.

Being the biggest Nike basketball athlete in the NCAA right now Caitlyn can get any Kobe protro her heart desires,

What's really comical is Nike asking $150 for these retail and then turning around and asking $150 for KD's next sig the 17.

These should've been $120 at the most.

Inflation alone makes them a $130 shoe today. There was zero chance these were ever dropping for $120 in 2024

So a $20 dollar just because tax on them.

Of course. You thought they were bringing back KD IVs in quantities that sell out day 1 and there wasn’t going to be any tax? $20 is cheap!

Not bad consider Kobe’s went from 130 to 180 on the protro version. But I guess that’s with some “updated tech”

Well how did any KD model jump $20 in a decade? There’s nothing more expensive about producing a new KD vs an older one so I don’t think it’s a coincidence they put them at the current sig pricing.

The reality is the KD line stopped selling gangbusters by 8 and no one is collecting any model like they were a 1-7 nor will again. Probably juicing the margin a bit has helped pad against the slumping sales baked into his partnership as his career winds down.

You and me both. They are harder in person. (Pause)

FWIW the only CW that was $150 was the YOTD2. The Galaxies were $130.

 

[justincredible7]

One thing I can say about the KD4s is that they hold up nice over time. My Texas and YOTD pair are in good shape besides someone in my household taking 1 lace out of my shoe
