so there has been a big debate between a lot of people saying this one's like that one that one's
like this one all these different things today we're going to be breaking down the unc air jordan
4 and the cactus jack air jordan 4 and i'm gonna show you that there are some similarities but
definitely a lot of differences between these two shoes so let's go ahead and get into this video
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not
know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show now if you haven't already make sure you hit that

and make sure you hit that like button because that helps the algorithm oh so much so a quick
little backstory history whatever you want to call it behind these two shoes before we get started
with the comparisons we have the newer release air jordan 4 unc right here these recently just
came out retail on this shoe was 200 the colorway of this shoe is inspired by michael jordan's days
at the university of north carolina hence the unc blue that you see all over the shoe or the
team branding that you have here on the tongue this is not an official north carolina pe that
the players received which is slightly different than this pair but this is the gr release that
came out to the public and i am not mad at these at all now when it comes to the travis scott air
jordan 4 if you guys don't know travis scott is a rapper he's really really big now and i'm sure you
probably heard who he is by now but if you haven't here's a picture of his face if you still don't
know who that guy is bro you got to be sleeping under a rock so travis scott has built his way
up through jordan brand and nike with a bunch of dope collaborations and this is one of the
sneakers that started off his series with jordan brand and i'm telling you right now these things
are fire he's from houston texas and for any of my sports fans that already know the houston oilers
and the same colorway from that team hence the colorway right here that we have on this shoe in
a random fun fact but i used to be a big tennessee titans fan i remember the transition between the
houston oilers and the tennessee titans eddie george steve mcnair all those guys on the squad so
for me i was already in love with the colorway of the shoe just because i had so much history with
the football team and how much i love that team and the colorway so that's why i love this shoe
just a little bit more i know that may not mean anything to you guys but that kind of explains a
little bit more of my hype for the sneaker not the value of the sneaker or the rarity of the sneaker
but simply because it has that houston oilers vibe and i really like that team and i grew up watching
those guys as a young aspiring football player as a kid now that you have a short backstory
behind both sneakers let's talk about styles cuts and materials we're gonna start from the soul
work our way up then we'll talk opinions and everything like that pricing at the end of the
video so let's get into it looking at the unc air jordan 4 you have four different colors gray white
black and baby blue and looking at the travis sky you have an all-black outsole with the translucent
midfoot panel and ball of the foot and then a red jumpman here on the back so just by looking at the
outsoles alone you can clearly see there are some differences when it comes to colorway and
design of the shoe looking at the midsole on the unc4 it has something very similar to the white
cement air jordan 4 when it comes to the midsole the arms and then the heel tab here on the back
just the colorway and the blocking of the shoe also the gray hit here on the toe of the foot
now looking at the travis scott air jordan 4 you have all black toe cap wrapping up with a white
pod here and a white and baby blue midsole on the back so when i put these side by side you can
clearly see the major difference when it comes to the paint color that they chose on the two
shoes now going up to the upper when we talking about materials quality and color of these two
shoes some people say they're the same some people say they're different and i'm telling you right
now these things are completely different when i touch the suede and run my finger across the toe
on the travis scott jordan fork you can definitely see the strokes of the suede with the thin hairs
on that now when i'm touching it here on the unc pair it's a lot thicker and a lot more hairy and
you can't really see the strokes of the finger on the toe of the shoe when you put them side by side
you can definitely see the difference between the two materials and then obviously there is a color
difference between these two shoes as well this one's a lot more blue more rich and this one's a
lot more lighter blue a little bit more faded look and again they both look super dope in their own
ways that's up to you to decide which one you like more but i think they are definitely different
another thing to note on these two shoes as well when it comes to the mesh and the nets on here
you have a baby blue mesh with a baby blue net when you go to the travis scout you have a baby
blue mesh with a black net another dope hit that i liked about the travis scouts was these came
with a premium pair of black wax laces and these come with a pair of your standard baby blue laces
when you put the tongue side by side you can definitely see the quality difference when it
comes to the stitching and the material that they use on the travis scott compared to the
patch that they use on your standard air jordan 4 style tongue right here and then obviously we
have the addition with the team here that flaps on and off on the tongue i'm not sure how people
feel about that part of the sneaker that's up to you to decide some people have been cutting it off
i might consider cutting it off if i actually really want to wear this shoe and not have that
just sticking out flapping off i feel like it might look a little weird on foot and again these
two shoes retailed at two different price points 200 and 225 dollars so when you got a 225 dollar
shoe typically what you're gonna get is a hang tag extra laces a dust bag something like that
to give it that premium vibe so these ones have more premium hits nicer laces and then you have
additional hang tag this dope suede hang tag with the jumpman here on the front and then the cactus
jack here on the back or vice versa or whatever you want to consider it now going to the back of
the two shoes you can see there is definitely a major difference as well this pair has a nike air
version which is the friends and family but the gr pair does have a jumpman on the back and then it
has a cactus jack on the other side and then these come standard with the jumpman on the back of
these two shoes neither one of these are og style sneaker they are retro kind of plus colorways
so i can understand why they have jumpmans on the back compared to the nike air let me know how you
feel about that would you prefer nike air on the back of the unc4 i definitely think that would
be fire another major difference that we have right here is the sockliner of the two shoes
as you can see the cactus jack comes with the red sockliner and the unc has a unc blue sockliner
and the red hit on this sockliner with this cactus jack obviously very distinctive but it just looks
really dope a nice touch to the shoe but then at the same time i love how this sneaker is so
uniform and clean and put together with the baby blues the grays and the blacks and the whites and
everything i think this is very simple very clean still pops and i definitely like the colorway and
the color pattern that they chose on this sneaker so now when it comes to these two shoes i wanted
to ask the people which one do you guys like more because i haven't given you guys my full answer
yet i really like both shoes for what they are and i can say it would be kind of hard for me to pick
obviously everybody would go for the travis scott just because you know more value and
everything like that which we'll talk about in a second but when it comes to me i bought both
sneakers because i really like both sneakers and i'm excited to have both of my collection
so i'm just truly having a hard time picking but i definitely want to see what you guys think so
like i always do i posted a poll on instagram and if you haven't already make sure you follow
me on ig so you can participate in the polls and see all the results here in the videos
64 of the people chose the travis scott and 36 percent of the people chose the unc
i can understand both sides i could see if it was 50 50 or 60 40 something like this i'm definitely
understanding these results in these polls simply because this one's been out a little bit longer
a lot of people like it more because of the hype and the name behind it and everything like that i
definitely would say there is somewhat of a richer story when it comes to the hype level behind the
travis scott compared to the unc but i definitely think these things are going to climb in price
just like the travis scott did so when we talk about pricing the travis scott is going for around
a thousand dollars right now and the reseller is insane and i don't see it slowing down anytime
soon and if you have a pair of travis scouts in your collection they're going to continue
to rise in value if you don't have them yet and you plan on getting them they're going to continue
to rise in value so i wouldn't say just go buy them now because they're a thousand dollars but
you might be better buying them now for a thousand than you would buying them later for 1500 or 1800
or whatever that price is that they go up to when it comes to unc four i tell a lot of people this
is a great secondary option with the dope colorway similar to the travis scott and you can get it at
a lot more affordable price retail was 200 bucks they're going for like 350 400 bucks right now
but i think in time they might sink just a little bit more you know closer future but
we're talking about later next year or by the end of the summer or something like that i definitely
think this shoe is going to be a five or six hundred dollar shoe in the future so i hope you

the materials cuts pricing all those different things and stay tuned for more videos because i
