@@chili2663no, completely different.

Please do a review on Chinese Brand workBoots , that say and show that they are “superior” to US shoes by doing all these “tests” I think it’ll make for great content!
Qzj
I dremeled the air units open on my original pair in 89 or 90. Completely opened them up,just to see. Front air unit was definitely bigger in the original. I still miss those shoes. Also I didn't know that eventually there would be an entire culture of people who appreciate shoes as much as I did. I have catalogs and a signed letter from Nike and Tinker from the 80s. I wrote to them in Beaverton as an 11 year old and they sent me catalogs for shoe stores and all kinds of cool pamphlets. Was very, very nice of them.
True. The air units were bigger and the PU midsole was softer in the 89s.
the hipster of shoes
Popping your air pockets was a rite of passage for late summer, after basketball camp days.
had a pair of 99 breds midsole crumbled and the front air units were bigger as well. I wonder if the sb 4s even have an air unit in the front.
@@airtec87What's so special about the Jordan 4 SB? Why do you ask that about the air units?
I salute you for choosing to cut a pricier OG colorway instead of choosing a more affordable recent colorway like the Midnight Navy, quality wise and closer to the OGs.
It's a business, he gets more money from the more attention grabbing thumbnail.
It's a myth that the og colorways are using any better material. It's usually just people thinking more tumbled = higher quality.
It isn't, it just looks less like plastic.
Really doesn’t matter what colorway was used. None of the retro 4s are true to the OG 89’s in terms of construction, quality and tech specs. Nike has cheapened the shoe in retro form big time. He’s right, the retro 4 is a toy shoe, whereas in 1989 it was an actual performance shoe.
Oddly enough I have 3 pairs of 4s and Imo the best quality ones is my J4 Fiba by far, ugly ass hell but they promoted it as more premium and it is. Better leather compared to my Taupe Haze and my Breds
@@Trebor-gw8lt exactly. Imagine 40 years from now. They will look at the way of the wade shoe the same just given the technology. Shit ai probably gonna tell us we been wrong this whole time with performance lol
I simply love the look of the 4’s, however, I ultimately ALWAYS avoid buying resell. Not just for these, but for EVERY shoe. It’s not worth the extra cash. Other color ways and collabs will pop up. Waiting on it won’t kill you, but that potential 1000% price hike might
It really depends on the shoe IMO.
Consider Chicago 1s. There's nothing rational about paying resell for those. But paying resell is often the only way to get Chicago 1s and it's probably one of the most desirable shoes/colourways out there.
So while it's definitely not worth paying resell from an objective standpoint, considering history and the irrational human brain, some shoes can only be bought on resale.
@@salvadorHombre lol irrational is right. I’ve seen my share of idiots paying upwards of 300$ for a colorway I’ve already hit twice. Once when the Origin Story dropped and the other is when the L&F dropped. Didn’t need to pay any resell to obtain the Chi color way. Waiting isn’t really an issue. It’s the delusional people who hype up these shoes and pushing the “exclusivity” factor that’s making all these younger generation believe they’re missing out. Even though they know deep down Nike will re-release this shit 🤦♂️
Considering just about every sneaker worth having is gobbled up by bots the second they release resell is the only option to obtain most.
@@jeremyjackson8196 There’s always an option. People just choose to overlook it because of their own delusion. I’m a huge fan of Kobe, my dream is to at least own 1 pair of his shoes. In my younger days, my family was poor. I couldn’t afford Jordan’s til I was 20 and had a stable job. By the time Nike rolled out the SNKRS app I was already 30. The dropped the Kobe Protros, and not once have I ever won a pair of Kobe’s. However, I made it a point to NEVER buy at resale. No matter how much I admire Kobe, I can’t justify supporting a community where buying out products, then reselling it for ridiculous prices to actual consumers who want them. So ya, like I said, there is an option to not buy into the hype and support these companies and people that cash in. Then again, that’s just an optimistic point of view 🤷♂️ People are just too stubborn nowadays
REPS make it a more logical and a wiser choice unless you can afford to spend stupid amount of money for a pair of Jordan 4’s $500-$1000 LOL when we were paying about $100 at the max back in the day simply walk into footlocker pay and leave. Why wait in line for a golden ticket 🎫 or online battle with bots and then find them on sites like stockx goat etc where almost 75% of the time are REPS. Reps Gave gotten really really 1:1 good. Made by the same people in the same country in the same factories with the same materials etc. These kids weren’t even around to watch MJ in the 4’s there about “FLEX” lol and “clout” when majority of them don’t even own a property let alone a income generating property. I love my clean reps wear them with confidence NEVER claiming they are “real” lol always rep with confidence. This generation are not sneaker heads they are clout chasers they go on you’re feet and meant to be worn! Why spend hours and hundred among hundreds of dollars. You can find so seriously dead on clean reps.
Weston always gives the most unbiased reviews ever. No one else can say "I love this shoe, don't spend this much money on it." with this much sincerity. Been waiting a minute for a Jordan 4 review and this did not disappoint! Loved the "$ wasted to date" counter too ahahaha
The original 1989 AJ4 and the 1999 retro used a hard plastic for the support wings and pull tab which would be much stronger than the rubber ones they use now.
Loving the next level edits, especially the B roll at 10:18 with the diagram that labels all of the parts after they're cut in half. As a sneakerhead, it hurt to watch this (and the other Jordan videos) but you do show what you're paying for when you buy a pair of Jordans, and what we're really buying is nostalgia; it's a very powerful buying factor.
the quality of your videos has been on a constant come up. this one knocks it out of the park
bro finally been waiting for this vid
Rose Anvil (and everyone else): "Looks like a kid designed it."
Designer who designed this:
Maybe you should try the Jordan 4 SBs too. It's the most confortable Jordan 4 I ever had, and they allegedly change some stuff on the sole. You'll probably be the first one to verify that theory !
I'd say the 13s is the most comfortable retro with the zoom comfort.
@@marvin7533 13s are like walking on clouds. Them and the 14s are fantastic. The 12s are nice as well but imo not on par with 13s and 14s.
Also heard 18s are incredibly comfortable but haven't been able to get a pair for a reasonable price (yet)
Ive seen someone else tear the 4 SB's down, they have a air unit in the insole unlike normal AJ4's
My 2nd favorite retro next to Air Jordan 1. I've always learned something from your video everytime you cut a pair of shoes in half! Big ups to you Weston.
YO!!! the Lucky Slice shirt is sick!!! I love the owner Will and everything he does. Thanks for supporting local brands and companies all the time.
Jordan 4 SB next, please!!🙏
Wait they make a SB version?
@@grandmasteraj855 Yup. The midsole has a softer foam and the tongue + collar feature more padding. I also believe the last/shape is closer to the 1989 original. The AJ4 Bred Reimagined uses the same cues for the SB4. People are hyped on them but they are way too chunky and stiff to skate.
Synthetic leather: exists
Weston: *And I took that personally*
Amazing video bro. I love how structured and detailed you get. Much respect!
I had the original release "III's" in grade 9. I played a lot of sports in junior and senior high years and needed a good all-around performance sneaker. The original "IIIs" are, to this day, the best/most comfortable all-around performance sneaker I've ever owned. I remember saving to buy the "IV's" for the following year and was HUGELY disappointed with the quality when I first held them. I chose not to get them and went for a Reebok Pump that year. Then the "V's" were released the following year and I swear they seemed even worse than the "IV's". Can't recall what I bought that year. When the "VI's" came out, they were $20 (CAD) more than the previous three models and I was skeptical because of the synthetic material but I decided to buy them and to this day they are 2nd best all-around performance sneaker. They actually were hard to "kill" they were so durable. I now own the retro "III's" and the retro "VI's" and they are so disappointing. Not even comparable. A waste of money if you ask me.
The cardboard like leather on the IIIs are just unacceptable to me too.
Nike should just make the shoes top quality and request the appropriate amount of money.
Thank you so much for posting this video after many times asking
It's funny how every retro gets like a 1-3yr time to shine as a trend, and for the last year or two, the 4s and 1s have been the go-tos
Theyre doing 3’s now and I love it. Never owned a three until 2 years ago and by far the most comfortable jordan and the minimalist design comparatively is fire. No nike swoosh, just beautiful leather
You're AWESOME to share all this info! Thank you, great job ❤👍👍
This channel makes all the right videos. I love it!
One of my viewers mentioned you and I had to come see for myself. Absolutely amazing channel. Your content blew me away in this vid. It gave me insight on what I buy now!
I’ve been super curious about the Jordan 4 as they are some of my favorite shoes in my collection I’ve always loved the design and all the different color ways
Thought I was subscribed but you were just in my recommended. Now subscribed
I luv the editing on this video
I really love what you are doing to the overhyped boots and sneakers judging their style, price, and value.❤!✌!👌! I am subscribing now.
I've been waiting for this video
Next you should do 4s vs SB 4s
Thank you for another great vid 🍻
I love these videos bruva
Love your videos, very informative yet entertaining.
please make a video about puma suedes
Had the Mars 4, 2012 fire red 4s and 2020 fire red 4s. My favorite color way , has a lot of meaning to me .
Been waiting for this video
Finallyyyyy I’ve been waiting for this episode, can’t wait to watch it
fantastic video dude❤
Awesome teardown video as usual, thank you for doing this one. Also maybe in the future you can do a comparison with the SB Jordan 4, these recently came out and there is a curiosity in the sneaker community if the skate version have a forefoot air unit. Also the materials used on the SB model are vastly different, or appear to be than the regular Jordan 4 retro like the fire reds.
Love the jordan reviews, love to see more or other Nike models
THESE VIDEOS KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER
I love it when you guys look at the Jordan retro models
Awesome review. 👍
Oooof the fire reds getting cut but I appreciate you doing this! I don’t have any 4’s in my collection but there’s a few i was looking at lol
THE ONE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!
Awesome video. Looking forward to see cutting off a pair of adidas samba soon
Can you do the new Jordan 4 SB Pine Green to see how it compares to a normal pair of 4’s? Love the content!
I cannot wait until you get to the 5. My personal favorite and i want to see you break it down to see if i just bought the hype all these years, lol
The 4s were my first Jordan’s ever after helping my mom with house chores. I played in them and was satisfied.
could you do the sb version of this show down the line? curious to see the difference woul be. great vid tho!
My first Jordan I purchased for myself was the 4, The Pure Money pair from 2017 love this shoe.
that shoe is super clean. I love it.
how have they been lasting? i got myself some retro 4s Red cements and bought my sister retro 4s metallic gold.
I have the reverse motorsports and i appreciate this breakdown
Bold for calling Jordan sneakers “toys”. You’re not wrong.
Can you do a review on the Patagonia work boots? Love the videos!
Hey Ross! Great vid. Definitely made want to stray away from the current hyped Nike sneakers even more. You earned a new sub!
Is there any chance you'll look at Novesta? I came across a video comparing their high tops to the Chuck 70s. I'd like to see your breakdown and know your own take on that.
I have to agree that those are cool looking shoes. I would probably have gone for the pine green SB variety though, but that is just a matter of my taste in colours and such.
12:05 thats exactly why i like watching these before i buy a shoe. I want to know im making a valuable purchase
Jordan 4 sb next!
Would be cool to see a club c 85 pair cut in half (can’t find literally any on the internet). Specifically the vintage pairs have some of the softest leather I have ever seen on shoes. Would love to see an in depth analysis on the overall quality and durability of the leather though.
I’m very curious to see you review the sneakers from Veja. Could be pretty interesting
Love your videos man, your work has helped me out a lot over the years. Is there anyway you could review/test some electrical hazard boots? It’s an interesting component on workboots but there aren’t many tests or reviews on CZcams for this particular component. Are they fake or do they really keep you safe? Coming from a guy who just arced some electricity from a wire to the bottom of his builder pros. 👍
Would love to see the Jordan 4 SB from 2023 cut apart!
Me too. There is some concern that Nike didn’t put the forefoot Air unit in them because they lauded the forefoot flexibility of the SB4 in their product literature. They probably did put them in, but you never know. They have been busted before in the past for removing tech from retro shoes.
I would love for you to do a leather quality review on the A Ma Maniére Jordan 4
One of the most important features of a basketball shoe is how it performs
With lateral movement. How the sole grips on hard side to side stops and if the foot is able to push through the front or side. It would be interesting to see how these retro shows hold up to those forces
It's not a basketball shoe, it's a fashion accessory
@@Conorsev originally designed to be a basketball shoe
Been asking for the 4s!!! Word
I love your videos especially the Jordan ones. But it's sooooo painful watching the cutting in half. 🤣 🤣 I have the bred 4s. They look nice but they are definitely one of the most uncomfortable Jordan retros until they are broken in.
Subscribed! When you get the chance, please check the Jordan 1 high cmft ver. 1 or 2. Curious to see if you guys find them interesting.
Love Jordan 4s first one I got was Military black, and recently got Thunder as well 🙂
You should compare the Regular Jordan 4 retro to the New Remade Jordan 4 SB, OR since you already cut the newer released Jordan 4 Retro, find a older model from 2012 and see the changes in the model over the years
Durabuck is the one that was used on the Bred colorway (black and red), it was like suede but much smoother, while this Fire Red and other colorways use regular leather
Btw I love your videos, I learn so much about leather quality
Wrong. Durabuck was used on all of the 1989 “OG” color ways except for the military blues.
Yup, and the insoles were never PU, they were thick chunky rubber foam so you're definitely getting more sports performance response than PU insoles.
@@Trebor-gw8lt thank you for this piece of information, I only see the retro ones not the OG that’s why I know that the Bred has the durabuck, not the rest
The original fire red Jordan 4 from 1989 used a white durabuck, same with the Jordan 4 white cements 1989 original release. Also the Jordan 5 original white fire red also used white durabuck.
@@thomascalderon598 wrong, those were PU closed cell insoles. Only difference is the thickness, the OGs were "chubby"
Common Rose nobody wears Jordans for performance. Fans wear them for casual wear and to flex what they have.
Great breakdown as always. You have picked a Jordan 4 that had some pretty bad QC issues. My right shoe came out of the box with horrible toe box creasing even before wearing it. The toe box shape was more narrow than all my other 4s and I had to go up a half size. There's definitely better 4s out there than this one
Killer vid cut down mate!
It's interesting that the Jordan 4 is manufactured in Vietnam. I bought a fake pair in Vietnam and honestly the quality feels better than my genuine 1s at home. I think that there is more leather in the upper and they just feel a lot more sturdy. They also didn't crease instantly which is nice.
i would love to see you review loafers and find the best bang for your buck
You guys need to do a "Dunk By You" vs a general release pair.
Another fine review sir. Is there any chance that you could cut the Nike Air Foamposite 1???
You gotta do the SB version next
Do some of the pinnacle releases! Like the air jordan 5 premium. Lets see those vs normal stuff as they retailed for 400
You should do a docu about the history of the brand Jordan 1-14
In the movie Do the Right Thing Giancarlo Esposito's character Buggin' Out has a fit when someone steps on his white cement Jordan 4's
next sneaker you should do is the mizuno wave prophecy
I've been waiting for this video!
I love how the 4's look but I cannot wear them for very long because of the flex zones pinching on the top of my toes. Also, because they're like bricks on feet.
The SB4s sorted out that pinch factor although the brick factor remains 😄
you need to halfsize up for the comfort
@@tungnguyen-oh3fs I've tried half-size up and full-size up lmao
I love my Jordan Chicago colorways. I went to the same high school as the guy who created the Bulls and he gave the Bulls are hs' colors to honor it. I dont mind paying the extra money for those colorways because the sentimental value behind it.
i had these a while ago and after a while i noticed the shoe does not give you the flex of the foot because the sole is really solid. eventually the leather creased a lot at front sides and near end of life the sole started to crack at same sort of front area where i bend my toes.
FIRST articulated air unit in the forefoot! but its small for sure
Can you do a review on dance shoes. The Fuegos vs Taygra vs amazon would be a great comparison
REVIEW THE VRL AIR JORDAN 1 PAIR THAT TONS OF PEOPLE REQUESTED WHEN YOU MENTIONED LOOKING AT JORDAN REPS
Can you do the hender scheme leather Jordan’s? Or anything from hender scheme! :)
I did a survey on Facebook in a very large sneaker group asking what age everyone was. Largest groups were 30s and 40s.. So, it’s an old head game.I’m 50. When I think of vintage Jordans, I immediately picture bred 1s and fire red 4s. So for me, worth every penny to buy a shoe from my youth, and luckily for me and people like me, at our age, we make the kind of money it takes not to care about the price so much. I remember thinking those 4s were so modern looking, when they first came out.
When the rear pull tab dries out it cracks super easy
Yea the crease and deform like crazy after only a few wears lol
Can you do a review on the steel blue southern cross wheat boots.
Best looking Jordan tied with 1, but pinky toe crusher, not bad on get all day if insoles are swapped and long socks are worn to prevent back pull tab from scraping Achilles, thanks for showing us what's under our feet all day, you are the only one in CZcams that does this, on par with bedosleather, thanks you, truly!
Thats awesome your doing a breakdown of the "tech/performance" function of these, but I gotta tell ya at least for me, the tech or performance these shoes have within them have never been a reason I've ever bought a pair of Jordan's.
cant wait for the jordan 5s
my favourite jordan
You should review the Nike mac attack. I’ve been using mine for walking shoes and they’ve been great
As a older dude who skated a lot of the air flight 89’ and played a lot of basketball in them I can tell you their durability and performance in both has no others to compare it two.
I was shocked Nike made a jordan 4 SB and was having pro skaters skate them because I thought I was the only one who appreciated them for skating but not surprisingly is that many who try to skate them now and do like how they perform.
Plus they have top notch durability(for skating and basketball).
Not to mention they look way better then modern basketball shoes especially with jeans yet I could walk or hike in these and be totally fine too.
I’m super glad I found some cheap Chinese sites I got knock off SB color ways for 40 bucks including shipping and they have real gray suede toes.
Nike is going to bury themselves overcharging w limited releases.
I was always iffy on the Jordan 4. It always had to much going on for my taste. The 1 and 3 are my faves.
I've just fallen into your channel looking up boots.
Could you break down the Goodyear Storm Welt on the Thursday Hero's?
Also if you can review my boot purchase (this was before I found your channel) the Timberland EarthKeepers.
Please do the jordan 7, it’s probably my favorite non Nike Jordan behind the 11
Hey have you cut open the Vans Knu Skool yet? I know pretty much all Vans are made the same but it was be an interesting video to watch.
I've never seen anyone actually play basketball in these remakes of Jordans. They are classed as life style shoes, like nearly all Jordans of today.
Had the original Black Cement as a kid, not even knowing what I had. Bought the 2019 pair, still have it, keep it clean in its box and I do wear it every now and then. Definitely one of my favorite looking sneakers and one that I enjoy a lot wearing.
But they are what they are. I think "Toy Sneakers" is a great term, because that's what they are for a sneaker collector. They are just toys that you enjoy looking at and wearing. As for the shoe itself, the materials suck. Specially the Black Cements which are the "fuzzy" fake leather. The sole is hard as hell too. Good thing is that the material doesn't crease like the smooth leather, and even if it does, it doesn't look bad.
