The Problem With Military Blue Air Jordan 4s | The Complex Sneakers Show

- čas přidán 12. 05. 2024
- The Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue” is definitely going to be one of the biggest Air Jordan releases of the year. But do we care about the name of the shoe? Nike is actually calling it the “Industrial Blue” Air Jordan 4, a technicality that’s already annoying diehard collectors. In this episode, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss that pair and a handful of other upcoming Jordans from the recent SNKRS Summer ‘24 preview. They also talk about Trophy Room’s Air Jordan 1s, the JJJJound x Adidas Samba, and the latest in Devin Booker and Shaq’s back and forth over signature sneakers.

Does the "Military Blue" Air Jordan 4 name change matter?
I still love the name Military Blue Air Jordan 4, they shouldn't change the name!!!!
They can call them the blueballs 4's and it wouldn't matter to me im still calling them military blues 💙
white and blue are the color of Israel flag i understand why they changed the name because “military and Israel” in 2024 could be a little controversial
I'm sick of the woke name change garbage tbh. If you offend the 1 person in the entire world that cares? You don't have to be liked by everyone. You never will.
Ppl will still buy em
New drinking game. Every time Brendan says “Big JLP Shoe”. You take a shot.
How about every time Welty says “I’m not mad”
1. “It’s a JLP shoe”
2. The Adidas samba
I died.
I’m pisvxd
New drinking game…every time Brendan interrupts someone, take a shot
Facts: in 1989 NOBODY called em Military Blues .. we just called em the Blue Jordans
This is true. I had them. Never even heard “military blue”…
Brenny Hardaway has to be one of the greatest throwaway nicknames for Dunne in a while. Goes unnecessarily hard
Put it on my grave.
When Welty folds his arms the gatekeeping is charging up.
Some say his hairline receeds a quarter inch when really starts pressin
Hahaha
I cannot explain the joy I get when I see the notification pop up. And the anticipation leading up to it . Makes for a great start to Fridays
Early! Yesterday was my birthday! Thank you so much to the team at Complex for posting this video today! You guys have made my birthday even better!
Welty is right. Cooked Black Sambas with white stripes was quintessential rock IDGAF sneaker in high school. We measured the insanity of that person by how many holes were on the sneaker.
Not a Friday without this ! Kick game properrrrr !
Couldn’t wait for this one ! Really excited for the Military 4’s
Amazing conversations! Great job, guys!
Love watching your channel always great content keep up the awesome work on showing us what out there in the retail market! 🔥
One of my fave quirks is that Dunne is such a sneakerhead while also being colorblind.
Justin Timberlake episode was phenomenal. SO look forward to Sneaker Shopping & Sneaker Show episodes. Highlights of my week! Keep doin what you’re doin!!!
You guys me me smile! love how you push Welty for more of an honest take than he gives already. Much love and respect to you all 🙏
Welty really looking like Marv from Home Alone today..the wild hair and the red face, like he just got away from trying to rob the McAllister's..
im calling them the military industrial complex blue 4s
Great start to my day!
Welty being the CHAD that he is, telling NIKE to check themselves hating on the military blue name. Perfect
57:31 I agree with Welty 💯
This made my day so much better, thank you
Matt “it’s not a bad shoe” Welty
Every time Joe says “he’s on timing” a part of me dies. Hello fellow kids headasss
Imagine commenting this and "headass" in the same sentence
@@C0nzillabro just figured out what that word meant and going crazy lol.
Military Blues go crazy guys
Listening to a podcast where the people on the show constantly interrupt each other is mildly frustrating for some reason 😅
Being a huge football fan. I love listening to every second you guys speak of the sport. Also, you guys should wear football jerseys on an episode!
I wore black sambas back in the early 90’s. I was a soccer player and played indoor with my sambas it was the classic soccer shoe and those black adidas massage slides. Sambas remind me of my childhood. My teenage son has a pair now and ahhh the memories
Cant wait for the Trophy rooms to come out this summer 🔥
Best way to start a Friday
Man I love this show. Good episode. Love Welty, Brendan is my favorite, Joe is too cool.
14:45 how am I now just finding out that Brendan is left handed? One of us! One of us!
To comment off of weltys jjjound comment, I feel like its totally ok to purchase a collab shoe based off of color way or design rather than just based off the brand name attached to the shoe.
Welty: "hold on.."
JLP and Dunne going matchy matchy is awesome
Simply had to do it to 'em.
I don't know if A.D.I.D.A.S. had more than one fencing shoe. But Welty mentioned a fencing shoe and said it never rereleased. But the fencing shoe I'm aware of is the A.D.I.D.A.S. Aloha Super. And it's currently in their catalog as a Mark Gonzalez skate shoe. It has released in multiple color ways, in the last few years. I wonder what shoe Welty is referring to?
All day I dream about …
You guys should do little segments (maybe as a separate video entirely) about the history of certain shoes that have been a staple in various companies. For example dunks (vs sb dunks) , sambas, Jordan 1s , superstars, etc
Brendan with the hoi polloi drop and Welty's stare in response.
My first introduction that turned me into a sneaker head was in 3rd grade going to Footlocker and buying the Reebok Blacktop Pump. I remember even then my dad payed $118. He nearly lost it when they told him the total. I wish I could buy a DS pair of that exact shoe. It was the Black, white and purple pair.
military industrial complex 4s
I'm gonna give a hot take here, but the military blues are definitely way more fire than the white cements. IDC what anyone says
Weltys always: “I’m not saying..”
So true, LOL
adidas skateboarding issued a skateboard centric version of the fencing model called Aloha Super as Mark Gonzales’ pro shoe. He wore a fencing outfit for his performance that took place on December 13th, 1998
at Stadtisches Museum Abtelberg, Germany.
Monchengladbach, Germany.
Interesting Welty take. When I think of Sambas I go back to 07’ and think of the punk or alt rock guy who also the proto-hipster wearing AE.
I get it’s a hooligan shoe but I saw quite a few kids who sort of fit the mold above wearing Sambas. A few soccer kids here and there as well. None I would classify as reckless. Just regular teenage shenanigans (partying, etc) and the rest were low-key
in 2012 the Military Blue 4's sold out here in Chicago. Things may have been different for welty in boston or on the east coast. But they sold out everywhere out here. In fact everybody who missed out, as well as the people who beat/cooked their 2012 pairs has been waiting for these to rerelease
Welty got his shirt on backwards. The original of his shirt that is the back graphic. Still an AWESOME shirt
Great episode !
Bring worst take back for that “tearing up my carpet” bit
i was waiting patiently for
Asking jjjjound to do more is like asking the brand to not exist... it's the identity that makes the brand
No mention of the Jordan 9 powder blue?
I can agree with the Welty not feeling the Germany made samba similar to my feeling of the Italian made air Jordan 1 line-up.
We gunna do the show yeah Joe let’s do the shoe Timberlake is honestly one of the most humble cool style dude dude is a realest look how hov worked with him hands down best sneaker show episode and he got that plug and still dropped the bag Timberlake pulled up ⬆️ for real for real congratulations Joe you did it king 👑
Welty’s shirt is the best he’s ever worn. Unbelievable.
Yeah super fresh. Wonder what eBay page he buys all these reprints from
will this podcast be blessed with a dj clark kent "Gods favroite dj" appearance this season ???
I don't like JT but I now respect his sneaker game
Please let Welty know I can cut his hair “On the house” lol
23:12 Welty begins to describes his style on the first couple of Full Size Run😆
Matt is right. Had to go to Soccer center, or Locker room to get mine
Mark Gonzales skate shoe is an old fencing shoe design as well. Beautiful shoe.
Nike also did the same with the 85 Jordan 1 High. They called it Neutral Grey instead of the original Natural Grey
JLP - my going hard at the bars shoe was the 06 Black Cat 4. You couldnt mess them up. Plus im getting outdoor buckets in them. I did not care for the 2020 pair. But sold them a bit prematurely.
Why isn’t anyone talking about how the white leather on the Military 4’s isn’t really white? It’s a bit of an off white color, plus the toe box nubuck isn’t the same grey as the rest of the grey accents, it’s way too dark and in truth looks a bit out of place, and also the blue on the uppers is slightly lighter than the blue on the midsole.
hitting on the shock drop - truly no one cares about the name haha I just needed my pair. That convo was silly.
@mattwelty the jjj samba's is actually one that i Don't mind compared to other jjj collabs because this yellow liner makes me think that its an og color way that ive since before some 40+ yrs ago, didnt like it then but now think its an ok colour way. May be im confused with a pair of tigers that my big bro had but defo old school colour way and slapping it on this classic adidas just does it for nostalgic purposes
Listening to Welty say how nobody likes the MB 4s for 5 minutes then listening to him complaining about the name change for another 5 minutes is exhausting
Really just wish the blue had a little more pop to it. Still super clean though!
I actually just bought a pair of panda dunks. First pair of that colorway, it's not too bad. I mean bought them to beat tf out of them with daily wear because they fit my feet really well. The 550 and Samba both fit my feet really poorly. I had like 3 pairs of the Aime Leon Dore 550's and they all had really bad heel slip issues for me and I had to sell them all off. The samba, I had tried years ago when I was basically only wearing Janoski's all the time, and the fit was not it. Those Red Taxi 12's go HARD AF. That's a pair I'll 1000% be going for
Im ready for the plum dunks‼️
Like the Sambas but not for the comfort, the OG SL72's and newer SL72 RS on the other hand are way ahead in comfort and fit plus the colourways a lot more appealing, vibrant and attractive than any of the Sambas.
Really like the quilted jacket JLP is wearing, anybody know what it is?
Due to the awake airships that just dropped gonna alotta sneaker nerd talk on airship history vs Jordan 1 lore. Thank you
Next episode perhaps
Cant wait for the Endless Summer 4's to release in 2030. Big JLP shoe
great Show as always thank you and big shouts from Europe/Austria ! i hope they will make a good job on the 180s. Had a good laugh from Brendan with the "Woke Version" of the AJ4 Military.
I remember copping the metallic 5s back in the day and the first day I rocked them I got a rock smashed on my car & arm, my 5s and fresh white tee got full of blood
That blue corduroy shirt is fireeee. What brand is it???
I put lace locks on my 09 military blue had people going nuts
SL 72 Song for the Mute ring for me. I have the blue color way in rotation at the moment.
Check that. They’re Country OGs not SL 72.
Them KITH NEW BALANCES HITTING
The Panda Dunks vs Sambas vs 550s is an unfair question since one is only limited to a single colorway
Real quick; Samba Classic has the long tongue, OG is short tongue. Samba Classic has arch support as well
I’m hyped for the Military’s, been waiting for years….. buzzy they’ve changed the name…. Maybe is an internal company change in colours?
"bin has those” -Welty 41:44😂
Man bring back the FSR immediately
I hope they listen to these Stan’s because those blues are 🔥
Sold my concord SB’s right before the SB craze 🤦🏽♂️
I rank the military blue 4 3rd place of the 4s…Fire Reds aren’t really all that although red my fav color and I did badly want the Mars Blackmon version back in HS.
Sneaker of the year is the Remastered Black Cement 3! 🖤🖤🖤
SL 72 PRELOVED BROWN IS FIREEEEEE SHOES
Welty missing the point of the $1000 aj1s. Don C looked luxurios for sure but they could have used a lesser quality of leather were as this one is actually luxurious and the design we wanted for a special event like the christening of a yatch 😬
in the UK the samba / gazelle is football hooligan uniform
"Nerding out on Sneaker details" 38:29 Should be the new name of show
I feel bro they bogus for the name change it’s not original at all 55:45
Yall slippin for not talking about the powder blue 9s
They’re absolutely wrong about the military blue 4 being the red headed step child of the OG colorways objectively ! I think if any are the red headed stepchild it’s the fire red 4’s but all 4 OG’s are absolutely dope!
You guys NEED to have Kadeem Hardison on a sneaker shopping Ep…he’s the sneaker head we all grew up loving
Really like Brendans industrial blue shirt. 👌
The Will Farrell episode was my favorite
those BIN 2s 😍😍😍
Hard
Did Welty not get the blue long sleeves and khaki memo?
Sb black cat 4s would be wild
New Noctas and glides solid.
85 wings pack unfortunately reminds me of the noise cancellation pack🙃🙃
