so sneaker zap just did a shock drop on the air jordan 4
fire red now these are scheduled to release on black friday but this is a month early
a lot of people were surprised by this one my homie ended up hitting on a pair
unfortunately i did not but today i have a review for you so let's go ahead and get into this shoe
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not

that being said we need to talk about this shoe the air jordan four or five red there's a lot of
anticipation and i've heard a lot of bad things about this shoe over the past 24 hours so i need
to open these things up check them out for myself give you guys my honest opinion that way you know
if you want to buy these or not but i already have a strong feeling i'm going to need two or three
pairs of my collection so starting with the box you have your classic air jordan 4 box big jumpman
logo with the flight branding on top looking at the side of the box you have your cement print
like you typically do but one thing that i do see different on here they have a nike air branding on
here instead of a jumpman logo if you look at a previous retro box as you can see right here you
have a nike air and a jumpman slight difference i do prefer the nike air more than the jumpman logo
so i would say that's another plus and i'm liking that looking at the size tag you have air jordan 4
retro white fire red black tech gray retail 200 bucks so this pair right here is a size 10 and
a half but i will be using two different shoes in today's comparison so let's talk about those first
the two shoes that i will be referencing are going to be the white cement air jordan 4 and the bread
air jordan 4. i want to talk about the styles cuts and materials obviously with the materials
on the white leather right here the cuts right here on the newer retro and then obviously the
nike air and how it's placed on the back of the shoe so we'll talk about that later in the video
opening up the lid of the box we have something different typically we get like a black paper
or something like that kind of like that plasticky paper this has a white cement print paper and then
we got another layer of paper are they treating these like a designer shoe oh my gosh okay so
here we got the shoe oh we got the shoe before i get started with the shoe i already want to show
you there are some things that i see on this shoe in particular but here's a couple photos of other
images that people have sent me with their defects or creasing and different problems
that they have as soon as they get the shoe in the mail and everybody's been receiving their pair in
the mail today honestly a shock drop on a tuesday and already getting your shoes by thursday that's
pretty dope but i'll tell you my theory behind why i think all these pairs are messed up we'll talk
about that later starting with the outsole you have a classic air jordan 4 outsole gray white
and red nike branding right here in the middle of the foot working our way up to the midsole again
everything classic for the fire red four i love how they kept the og style and didn't change the
color blocking or alter something in a little way that made you be like bro is this actually the og
or is it not i'm very glad they kept everything the same when it comes to that aspect one thing
that i am noticing already is that there are extra glue stains on the side of the foot here just
on this shoe individually and it looks like it's actually kind of sloppy on the inside of this foot
as well and that's been a big problem that a lot of people were talking about earlier like i was
saying glue stains increasing and different marks on the shoes that's something that a lot of people
were unhappy about already in the first 24 hours of everybody getting the shoe but looking past all
that if the shoe looks solid i can say right now it's a great shoe and a great buy we'll talk about
prices in a little bit but let's continue with the review so looking at the leather and filling
the leather all over around the foot just kind of giving me that that that psg 4 vibe you know i'm
saying kind of like that that good you know i like the leather i'm happy they kept that same energy
like what they did with the psg4 if you haven't seen that video check that one out i like this
i'm not mad at it this makes me happy i understand it's a white shoe the leather is going to crease
especially if the leather is a little bit nicer or the way it's tumbled i can understand why it's
going to crease if it's a little bit softer so i do understand where that's coming from
but once you get your foot in the shoe and it starts filling out you start rocking it like i
personally just don't think that's going to be a big issue so initial off rip when i'm seeing the
leather and touching and feeling and everything like very very happy it's like sticky low-key
actually it feels like there's like syrup or something on the side of the shoe
so anyways back to the shoe we got a black mesh with a white net in front of that and then we got
a white lacing system we don't have any other extra laces that come with them if you want to
freak it out with other laces you're gonna have to provide those yourself but i do like how they
did the nike air tab right here on the side of the foot now we've seen the two different retros
with the black cement and the weissman those both came with two different hang tags so that's kind
of up to you with the preference some people like this flimsy more thin one and some people
like the more plasticky more thick one i think that's all the preference named me personally
i don't really use them for anything so it doesn't really matter to me i like it the fact that it's
an addition to the shoe saying that it's like the og style and everything so i ain't tripping either
way now looking at the tongue this is something that i was very interested to see how they were
gonna fold this leather back and how they placed it everything like this with the padding and
everything i think they did a really good job the way they folded over the white leather make
it look very very clean especially from the front angle like this as i'm looking at the shoe i don't
see that red padding and everything around it like that it makes it look a lot more clean a lot more
sleek similar to the back of the tongue you have a red sock liner as well looking at the insole you
have all black insole with a red nike air and then going to the back tab this is something
that i have been waiting on forever we had the og version drop back in 1989 we finally got it back
yes thank you thank you jordan brand we had the retros that came out and for me personally like
i came up in the era when the mars four dropped right and that was a great shoe i loved it used
to rock it to the depth like so the paint started cracking and it was just scuffed up and all those
different things then the retro came out like in 2012 or i don't even remember what year that was
because those were so terrible like i literally bought a pair and saw them like the same day i
got them like i was like i cannot do this like these are trash i'm very happy to see
a solid execution when it comes to this shoe on the aspect of the materials and bringing back
the nike air and all those different factors now let's talk about the glue stains and the different
marks on the sneaker the leather mishaps and stuff like that even looking at this pair right here you
have creasing on the left foot on the toe some on the right foot but you also have a mark right here
over the top of the toe and that's just like bruh like somebody paid retail for this and it's
almost like they're treating it like a b grade when you got glue stains and like i was just
saying earlier you got sticky glue right here it feels like there's like syrup or something on
the shoe you got a scuff right here on the front it's like what's going on you know i'm trying to
figure out what's going on my theory to it was they messed up on a bunch of pairs they didn't
want to call them b grades they weren't that bad but they weren't that good type of situation so
they decided to do a shock drop create more hype around the shoe before the release a month early
and then create you know everybody got to get this shoe for black friday
but then the real sneaker heads got their hands on them or like bro what's up with this
quality is terrible i don't like it so and i've been getting a lot of people messaging me like
bro what's up with jordan brown they trippin bro like and i'm like i don't know i don't work
for them i'm another sneaker head too i didn't even get the shoe so one thing that i can say is
i do remember when the white cement 4 came out some people were kind of skeptical about it but
i was honestly happy with the leather quality and how they came about it these are a little
bit thicker when i say how the leather it feels and everything with the cut and all that stuff
but i think they have similar vibes this one has a little bit more of a gloss to it as well
on the new firearm for but at the same time i'm not mad at it because i understand where they're
going with it trying to bring a higher quality product and not make it feel like so plasticky
they just got to clean it up when it comes to the glue and the different marks on the sneaker with
the leather and stuff like that another thing that i'm not sure if i'm happy about it or not which i
can't tell because this is a size 10 and a half and this is a 13 but even looking at the size 13
you have a smaller leather cut here at the bottom and the tab is just a lot larger and on here
you got a higher cut and the tab is a little bit smaller again this could be size difference which
i will tell once i get my stars 13 but i think maybe they could have potentially proportioned
the nike air to have on the back maybe just a little bit bigger to be a little bit more bold
but again that could be just me nitpicky and you know i don't know maybe it's fine i don't know you
let me know down below in the comment section now when i look at the hill on the bread four they do
actually look a little bit more similar this is a more recent retro over the past couple years so
now i can kind of understand where they're going again it could potentially be the size of the shoe
around 260 bucks in my size range that's a cool price right now i think they could potentially
even go down for some reason classics and og colorways they don't do well at first and then
later over time they start to climb and they climb and they climb and they climb and then they just
go up like crazy there's not one shoe that's the og colorway that jordan wore on the court
that's not gonna be worth something like i'm just telling you right now it's a win must cop for me
no matter what the happens with the glue stains and all this other stuff one person i know
actually is returning their pair they got early access and they were so terrible they're going
to return them tomorrow come on man we gotta get it together that's just not good so anyways that's
