just got my package in the mail and honestly I've had a lot of mixed
emotions when it comes to this shoe so the only thing I can do is cop the kick
see what it's talking about and make my decision from there welcome back to the
channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you do not know by
now my name is DJ and this is the DNA show if you haven't already go ahead and
hit that subscribe button man join the family drop a comment down below let me
know how your day is going bro I've been cooped up in the house but I have been
getting packages in the mail so I'm excited to open some stuff up for you
guys this week and there's gonna be some great reviews coming soon so with that
being say let's go ahead and get into the video first things first let's talk
about the Air Max 95 as we know that Air Max 95 released in 1995 and they have a
very very iconic colorway with the neon colorway as you see here on the screen
and this is probably a lot of people's most favorite colorway when it comes to
the Air Max 95 I'm not that big of an Air Max 95 fan what I'm a size 13 when I
look down and I see the shoe on my foot it just doesn't really look well on my
foot and I'm just truly not that big of a fan of the shoe so I've owned a couple
pairs before in the past and I've always ended up selling them because I'll put
them on stink I'm about to wear about the house and I ended up not wearing
them so for me the Air Max 95 is kind of a wash and that's why I'm not really
sure how interested I am with the colorway that they're doing here on the
Jordan 4 so with that being said it's going to open this box up real quick and
see what these things is talking about
oh yeah I forgot to mention I end up giving another pair of threes they were
available at Nike steel so I couldn't I couldn't resist I'm sorry I just I
couldn't resist but uh let's open these up okay so we have the Air Jordan 4 box
right here now it's the flip open box somewhere to the Jordan threes that I
just showed you right there they're kind of trending with that with different
drawings right now it's kind of not really making sense but I'm letting them
do their thing it does give it a new little accent to the collection so I'm
not mad at it but it's definitely something a little bit different that
we're normally seeing normally on the Jordan 4 box you have the top that peels
all the way up and it's two parts but it is what it is starting with the top of
the box you have your white Jumpman logo with the neon flight your two-tone gray
and black upper and then that's all wrapped around the box for the tag of
the box that says Air Jordan for retro II cool grey vault Wolfe gray and then I
have a size 13 here retail is 225 dollars how do you feel about that price
point I mean personally I think it's a little bit too expensive for this shoe
but I do know that they put nice quality materials on there and we sort of heard
we don't see ok opening the box you have your black plastic paper here and then
you have a second layer of white paper let's open now normally on designer
shoes the paper flips up in this way which is interesting because I'm used to
flipping over in sideways when it comes to retros but that's a whole another
thing so I'm assuming that's to protect the materials from rubbing because we
got to suede on here so let's do these things talking about ok so the shoe
overall I'm not sure how I feel about it yet so once I get done dissecting it
I'll let you guys know how I feel about it at the end of the video and we'll
also look at results what other people have to say from the polls that we
posted here on Instagram but overall initial look as you can see here from
the comparison from the Air Max 95 in the Air Jordan 4 you can see that they
did a pretty good job comparing the two with the color
blocking and how they did it with the style I'm not exactly sure how they
could have done it better based on the panels and everything like that
but I feel like overall you get the gist the concept and where they were trying
to go and I feel like that is something that could potentially grab a lot of
people and make them want to buy a shoe like this way
so before we start breaking down the shoe I want to show you three different
shoes that I will be comparing them with and that is the Air Jordan 4 cost the
black cat and the white cement 4 so with that being said let's go ahead and get
into this review starting with the outsole you have an all-black outsole
with neon pods here on the front in the mid foot with a black Jordan Jumpman
logo going to the midsole this is something that really sticks out to me
because not too many Air Jordan 4s have suede put on the side of the midsole
right here and the only one that I really have known or have our own is the
cost series with the black or the gray so for them to match that on here I
think is very very unique because not too many Jordan fours have the suede on
the side of the foot like that and it's definitely a different hit when it comes
to the shoe gives it a very nice premium vibe as you can see here side to side
next to the cost it looks very identical obviously
different color but the materials like very similar the air unit is a full neon
air bubble here on this system looks very clean pops out just like the Air
Max 95 I get exactly where they're going with that so it makes a lot of sense
taking it to the upper you have three different tones of grey a darker I made
in a light grey here on the toe cap in the mudguard
area you have a darker grey taking it up one more level you here I have a lighter
tone grey wrapping around the toe in the side of the foot all the way to the back
around the heel taking it one more level up you have another lighter tone grey
here wrapping from the toe of the foot all the way to the back of the shoe and
then with a white sock liner to finish it off with the lightest touch at the
top of the foot the nets on the side and the tongue of the shoe are all identical
they have a black mesh behind them with the white net in front of it very
similar and very classic to the air jordan for looking at the side of the
foot you have a light grey arm right here with the neon tip on the end of it
and then a neon tip here down below at the front of the foot as well if you can
see right here they split it kind of 50/50 lime green with the gray black
with the white and then a lime green border around it flight as well as in
white and lime green so with that I think that is very similar to the Air
Max 95 logo so I kind of see where the concept is going with that one
so overall shape and overall cut when it comes to this new Air Jordan 4 similar
to the black hat 4 I want to say that they are very
very similar so if you like the style in the cut of this black cat 4 you're
definitely going to be in love with the styling cut of there's no neon 4 one
thing that I would say I do like a little bit more about the neon one
compared to the black cat one is this one is a nubuck tongue so it's a lot
more stiff and it's very very padded and cushioning so is this one but this one
is a nylon tongue and with it being that nylon it makes it a lot more softer more
flexible so I'm sure it's gonna fit a lot better on the foot and feel more
comfortable on the back of the tongue here you have your classic air jordan
branding similar to all air jordan fours so now I want to show you guys the
difference between the classic air Jordan for white cement with the nike
air on the back compared to this pair with the nike air
on the back now this isn't like the classic plastic tab that you would have
on an Air Jordan 4 it's a 3m reflective tab and all of the branding on the back
of the foot is kind of inset inside of the tab compared to how it sticks out
right here and you can feel the difference but one thing that I did
notice is the Nike Air is very very small and I think they kind of went with
that idea similar to the Air Max if you look at
the back of the foot right there you can see the difference between the two how
the nike air is very very small so I can kind of get where they're coming from
with that one but again with this type of bag tab it almost looks like a kid's
version of the shoe mixed with an adult's version of the shoe so for me
I'm not really digging it I understand where it's going but I'm so used to this
that it's kind of throwing it off for me on here again mentioning the 3m that we
have here on the back we also have 3m on the laces right here as you can see that
reflection there so you get the vibe you see where they're going with this shoe
but again I'm just not exactly sure how I feel about this one the suede it feels
pretty solid is pretty thick so it feels like it's gonna last for a while it's
not the best way to I've ever felt but it does feel like it's really good it
feels like it's legit so I'm not mad at that I feel like they executed well when
it came to the quality and the materials and everything like that but just
overall design and concept for me again not being an Air Max 95 fan and then
this colorway I'm not sure how I feel about it and the way they mix the
materials and design I don't know if this is actually a cop for me in the
long run obviously I'm doing the review so I can see what you guys think I'm
gonna give it a solid 6 out of 10 I got to respect the craftsmanship I
understand where they're coming from I get the concept but again
at least 10 different air jordan 4 colorways that jehad released to the
public that i know are better than this one so i can't say this is up there when
it comes to the ranks for the air jordan 4 is for me at least so what i like to
do on instagram if you haven't already follow me on instagram i like to post
the shoes on my story beforehand and see what people are thinking kind of
understand if i'm thinking the same thing or third thinking a little bit
differently and I feel like this shoe is a very polarizing shoe and what I mean
by that is it's gonna be polar opposites either you're gonna love it
or you're gonna hate it and for me I'm still in the middle but at the end of
the day it's not really a win for me so I would put it in that trash category if
it was to fire or trash so when I asked fire trash to the people these are the
results that I got 57% said trash 43% said fire so at the end of the day what
are you guys think about the shoe drop comments down below I'm very interested
I literally pick these shoes up for this video just to see what everybody has to
say about them because I know that this shoe is either one or the other it's
kind of hard to be on the fence when it comes to this shoe especially when
you're talking about spending 225 dollars with all the other shoes that
are coming out right now I'm not sure if that one really make sense for the
budget and the purchasing and all those different things like that this shoe is
still available at Nike comment already and you plan on getting the shoes you
can pick them up there me personally I think that the price will either go on
sale eventually in the price will go down for them just for like you to try
to sell them or they will hit Nike outlets when people are able to start
going to shopping at Nike all this again I'm pretty sure you'll find this shoe at
those locations so if you want to be smart and be patient I would recommend
being patient on this shoe and you probably be able to find it for under
225 dollars but that's just me again if you want to rush out and go buy
it go ahead and do your thing but like I said I would be patient and I would
recommend you be patient as well so with that being said that's the end of the
video I hope you guys enjoyed it don't forget to Like comment share and
subscribe I'll see you guys in the next one my name is DJ I'm signing out I'm
going peace you
