today we're going to be taking an early look at the lightning air jordan 4. this shoe has
been highly anticipated for over 15 years now and it's finally coming out i'm definitely excited to
crack this box open and show you guys the first look give you guys some looks at the styles cut
some materials and you know we got a couple of comparisons too let's go ahead and get into it

much so before we crack this box open you know we got to talk about the history you know we got
to talk about the nostalgia and i'm definitely going to be comparing a couple shoes with these
too we're going to be looking at the black cat air jordan 4 and comparing the model and the
style and cut of the sneaker the cool grade 4 because a lot of people think the materials are
the exact same on the upper and then obviously the og lightning air jordan 4 because i mean
that's like the best comparison to make with this shoe right so for those that do not know
the lightning air jordan 4 originally came out in 2006 with the thunder and lightning pack you had
the black and yellow and then you had the yellow vibes right here and then you can't forget the
tour air jordan 4's as well which wasn't a part of this pack but i just had to mention those because
those were fire i wish i still had my pair but they started to crumble and crack so i had to
let them go i ain't gonna lie to you i definitely wouldn't be mad if they retro that shoe too drop
a comment down below if they should retro the two or four so over the years since the sneaker
has came out this shoe has become more and more and more coveted over every single year
and now we finally got a chance to get it again starting with the box you have your classic air
jordan 4 box with your og vibes to it but you got a major twist this has the tour yellow lid on it
with the gray jumpman in the white flight then you have your cement print all throughout the
bottom of the box the size tag reads air jordan 4 retro tour yellow dark blue gray retail 220 bucks
lifting open the lid of the box you have your classic all-over cement print paper
and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay first impressions of this shoe
home baby these things are fire now but for real though the shoe is actually pretty fire
i'm excited to compare these against the og to see the similarities and differences
and then obviously the newer retros as well so what we're gonna do first is talk about the shoe
and just break it all down and then i'll show you the comparisons then we'll talk numbers resell
value how to get the shoe all those different things so let's get into it starting with the
outsole you have your classic air jordan 4 outsole with your all gray vibes right
here white pod on the middle and the front end of the foot then you got a yellow jumpman here
on the center working our way up to the midsole you got the gray vibes right here on the rubber
and then you have a white pot here on the front and an all-white midsole on the back with a white
air unit going to the upper this is one thing that everybody has been asking when it comes
to the cut of the shoe and just the overall form and shape of the sneaker and then the material on
the shoe and how good is it really when i feel the material on this shoe right here you got a
very very nice suede i think they did a really good job on this shoe when i put it next to the
cool gray air jordan 4 it does look like it may be similar on camera but i'm telling you right now to
the touch it feels completely different now when it comes to the cut of the black cat air jordan 4
as you can see from the overall shape and form of the sneaker they definitely look very very similar
and i'm honestly not mad at this just because they went with the og 1989 vibes and this is
how the shoe used to be styled and cut from way back in the day and they're starting to integrate
that back with the new retros now so i see where they're going with this one and this is definitely
a switch up from the previous retro that we saw in 2006 when it comes to the shape of the shoe
everybody remembers back in 2006 when you have all those fours coming out the mars fours the military
force and the mist we need the misforce to drop again those are fire too or the sand fords those
was hard too bro loki there's some dope fours that need to be retro i ain't gonna lie to you
i'm ready for those so anyways when it comes to the overall shape and form of the shoe you got
your newer retro vibes with your same old-school colors but these definitely do look a little bit
different i don't know if it's just the shade of the color like it's not popping as much or
something but let's go ahead and put them next to the 2006 pair and see the differences on these oh
yeah okay so definitely i can see the difference when it comes to the materials on the two shoes
this one is a lot more fine as well when it comes to the material but the overall color and
the yellow on the sneaker is just more vibrant and uh just sticks out like this one's like a
little bit got that kind of like hazier yellow vibe to it it's not as more you know potent it
doesn't really stick out as much compared to the og version hopefully you can see with the side by
side photos right here in the video exactly what i'm talking about but i can definitely tell the
difference between the two when i'm looking at them side by side here in person now one thing
that jordan brand loves to do and they always mess up on a sneaker is what take a retro and they
retro it and then people be like okay dope i'm getting exactly what i wanted from the past and
the next thing you know they switch up some colors or moves from color blocking or whatever it may be
and you're like bro that's not what i wanted i wanted the og version i'm just trying to get that
and these right here honestly i feel like they did a solid job when it comes to replicating the
color blocking pattern and everything like that on the overall scheme of the shoe now obviously the
shape of the sneaker is different but the overall colors is definitely very very similar and i look
at the outsoles and everything like that and it's all looking very very close you got the gray with
the white you got the yellow jumpman on the bottom one thing that i do see different is a different
color air unit you got a gray area unit on the 2006 pair and a white air unit on the 2021 pair
let's give them a golf clap in the comments section they actually did a good job on this
one now if you guys want to see a more in-depth detailed comparison video between this version and
the 2006 version let me know and i can definitely make a more dedicated video specifically to that
topic but what i do want to know is what do you guys think about this shoe is it fire or is it
trash i asked the same question on instagram like always 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 on the channel
but this is what i ask is a shoe fire or is it shoe trash this is what they said
91 of the people chose fire and nine percent of the people chose trash that nine percent
i'm not exactly sure how i can justify the nine percent usually i can understand both sides but
this one i'm like it should have been like a 98 to 2 or something like that but i understand not
everybody's gonna like every single shoe and some people say well you just like because it's hyped
no i have the og version i've always liked this shoe i've been collecting for a long time and i
actually really do appreciate this sneaker so to see this retro i'm excited about it and another
thing is super dope is even if you haven't been collecting as long as me or whatever it may be
you're now having the opportunity to purchase this sneaker and still live those same memories that i
was able to live now you can live them too i think it's super dope to see that new sneaker heads are
gonna finally be able to get a dope retro from in the past and then obviously og heads are gonna be
able to double up or single up or whatever and get that shoe that they may have beat up or has
fallen apart or whatever because the shoe is like 15 years old who knows if this pair is going to
crumble right so let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section i'm excited to
see you guys comments as well and good luck oh my gosh good luck because i'm telling you right
now this is definitely a sneaker that you're going to want to have in your collection currently right
now this sneaker is going for around 500 or 600 bucks depending on the size everything like that
i think they will go down once the release comes around they're gonna linger around the
three or four hundred dollar range and then over time they're gonna shoot back up we shall see in
a month when the shoot comes out these are set to release august 28th good luck retail is 220
