Hey Guys! We spoke with someone from the design team and they confirmed that the forefoot Air unit was removed and replaced with a soft foam unit for greater board feel. No need to cut these beauties up now 😁
this is what I like about this channel, actually give historical context rather than just hypin up the shoe. I still got my Sonics cw Jordan 1 phat cuz I wanted a pair of clean white Js in my rotation, cuz back then retros Jordans happened once every semester if we were lucky!
Dude I gotta say, you're by far the best sneaker channel. No clickbait, no cringy titles, just straight to the point in an entertaining way. Keep em coming🙌🏽
Protect Chris at all cost! His knowledge about brand is insane! Probably people that work for Nike don't even have that knowledge 😂 As a fan since first videos i really appreciate Your work! Thank You for great content, keep doing what You do! Community needs You Chris!
God I love your videos. Such a good mix of humor, critique and history. I can't lie and say I don't learn something new every time I watch a video of yours!
These are absolutely a must cop whether you are a fan of skateboarding or not these are soo clean especially with the SB branding on one of the most popular and iconic Jordan silhouettes ever. Definitely going for these, such a clean design!
@Jerm G The SB branding is everything. Because it's not just branding. At least this time around. The AJ4 SB, compared to the AJ1 SB, is actually engineered for skateboarding.
@@dylives7667 idk about that green cw but both lance mountains have great leather on them, got better board feel in 1s vs 4s too. Only downside to the 1s are tht they dont have the same insoles as the dunks
I spoke too soon! An awesome discord member helped me get a pair when they got EA. Awesome fellowship and I can't tell you how grateful I am that the WT crew cultivates such a great community. Major props and, for anyone on the fence, I suspect this is going to be one of those releases that people are smacking their heads for missing in a couple of years.
I basically never even bother with hype releases, ideally I even wait around for discounts (Also what 99% of skaters will be doing btw.), but these have me considering it
Those Air Jordan Flipsyde looked amazing! I am glad to learn more stuff that truly went over my head over the years. I think this AJ4 SB looks great, but with that price tag it will be hard for many skaters to get them, and even then, I would think twice before actually skating a pair. It would be cool to see if any other colorways are released after this one.
Great video Chris. I know a lot about historical shoes since i was born in '86, but I always learn something new from your videos. I didn't even know/remember there was a Jordan flipsyde model. Loved the salutation to the resellers at the end. Couldn't agree more. Keep up the good work, you are the best.
Def a nice clean shoe. Personally think they should have put some of that green behind the netting to make them pop a bit more. But the shape and materials and slight tweaks like rubber for plastic in spots and other general tweaks def seem well done. The finished product / design doesn't blow me away but still quite good & def still going for them as the first colorway in this collab. Which is expected to be an ongoing collab (AJ4 x SB) , so def curious what other future colorways we get.
These are so damn beautiful! Great breakdown per the norm. Rose Anvil did slice open three variations of the dunks. That would be cool to see him do the 4's for sure.
Eric Koston used to skate jordan 3s. I love this channel so much because you analyze history and pay respect to us skaters who been here long before the hype haha
Those are killer. A must buy. I've skated AJ1s, AF1s & Dunks back in the 90s. Never seen anyone skate in 4s. The foam on the outsole at the pinky toe would last about 3 ollies
Couldn’t agree more with you Chris. I feel like they have a whole skate division at Nike and could’ve implemented more skate tech while making it still have the appearance of a Jordan 4. The small piece of midsole that’s by the toe should’ve been rubber a softer midsole could’ve been used as well for better board feel maybe a synthetic or fused toe cap instead of the suede and the whole sole should’ve been gum rubber just like ginger wheat’s or just the bottom like the dunk from above 4’s.
I’m happy I got these bro! They are so comfortable compared to other 4s but also they’re just nice to look at! The cuts are very clean and you can really just admire the shoe for what it is! The new textures for the accents feel very nice and not just some cheaper alternative. Wow this shoe is up there with the white cements 2016 and Breds 2019 for me
Your reviews are always great. Informative and educational I dare say. I love these SBs, grabbed a pair resale😫. But still glad I have them. Thanks for another great ep.
I love this channel. You stick true to who you are and do what you do. I hate how sneaker channels are just regurgitating the same video every one else does. It’s like one guy puts out a video on how prices are about to go up once AIR releases and then you see everyone else make the same video. Plus you hate resalers too. They can kiss mine too. Lol
I still have my PHAT Suns lows. They're beat beyond recognition,though. I wore them out LOL. I'm passing on these. Gotta save dough for other releases. Thanks for the review,Chris and Jodi. You guys rock!!!!!!!
Literally checked last night to see if you had done a review on these, cause I figured you’d like them n didn’t find anything. Then bam, next morning you drop the review… nice😁 Always been a fan of gum bottom too
one of the best channels if you're into sneakers and the history behind them. Suggest you do a lineup of past Jordan x SB collabs. so much history in there
Absolutely love these! I’m personally glad they’re not too skater-tooled as I don’t skate but really love the Jordan 4. Gonna try my absolute hardest to hit on these!
Man I gotta say those are nice and I have the military black 4’s these will look good next to them thanks man for the video found you a year ago and never disappointed ✌🏻
Those are some sick pair of sneakers, already brought me 3 pairs : ) also added some Uptempos '96s to my cart, your content gave me that shopping bug again lol, thanks man.
My local skate shop is having this release, and he showed his pair, and they were beat up. He says they are very good for skateboarding 🤣. He said they mad comfortable. I was like, they beat up, he replied, "My BOSS told me too... Also, he told me they are getting way more SB's than normal. Hope I can cop my pair. 🔥
These really grew on me once I learned they were sail instead of whites and the green and gum started looking nicer. I always have also said that I liked the fours because they looked and felt kinda like the puffy wider dvs dc skate shoes I used to wear as a kid on my feet so it’s cool to have these kinda validate my claim
I actually hit at my local skate shop in Australia for the first time ever. You don't understand how difficult it is to get any release in Australia, let alone an SB.
When I first saw these and then I seen that you had a video, the first thing I said was "I guarantee Chris will mention the shape and compliment how good they look. I know that you're big on how the shoe is as close to the original as possible. That pop of red and the sb on the Nike tab are fire. The soft tab where the Achilles is just put these over the top. Great shoe! Great video!
You just did it again sir! I just got mine, how i can refuse to buy if you explain it just PERFECT great vid and analysis it give me ideas what to buy and not. 👌👍☝️
Bro I LOVE! Your Content, I Really Want These Sneaker For My Collection. The Jordan 4 Is One Of My Favorite Jordan Silhouettes And Having Been A Skateboarder Back In The High School (Mid 90’s) These Are That Much Doper To Me. With That Said This Was A Very Informative And Awesome Review And Definitely Helped In My Desire For These Kicks. By The Way Big Props To You For What You Said About Resellers. #Blessings
They definetely got dunk sb cushion stacked on the 4 soles, did it alot to my face box era 4s, swapping the insoles to dunk sb pairs. These feel the same once broken in. Still prefer the cut/build of that era to all other retros tho. These & other 4s are higher cut but they arent as form fitting. Love these though, always wanted to customize my classic greens similar to this, based on some "money green" customs i saw years ago, but more military blue color blocking. Weird but cool to basically have em as sbs now
I think having suede instead of rubber is perfectly fine. When I got into skating a couple years back most of not all shoes had suede. I feel like rubber has been a more recent thing but I could be wrong.
Hey Guys! We spoke with someone from the design team and they confirmed that the forefoot Air unit was removed and replaced with a soft foam unit for greater board feel. No need to cut these beauties up now 😁
Still kind of want to see that though
Same 😬😅
Hey, quick question! Do you know if these will be dropping at any skate stores in the Sacramento area? If yes, which one(s)? The 17th is my BDay!
please dont crease those shoes like that 9:50, painful to watch
That’s probably where most of that sp budget went to.
this is what I like about this channel, actually give historical context rather than just hypin up the shoe. I still got my Sonics cw Jordan 1 phat cuz I wanted a pair of clean white Js in my rotation, cuz back then retros Jordans happened once every semester if we were lucky!

As a fan since first videos i really appreciate Your work! Thank You for great content, keep doing what You do! Community needs You Chris!
Absolutely need these!
Imagine if we got the same tooling for this to the reimagined bred 4s, that would've been even better!
God I love your videos. Such a good mix of humor, critique and history. I can't lie and say I don't learn something new every time I watch a video of yours!
Glad you like them!
@@WearTesters it's always a joy to watch. Even if I don't intend on buying the shoe or know anything about the brand.
These are absolutely a must cop whether you are a fan of skateboarding or not these are soo clean especially with the SB branding on one of the most popular and iconic Jordan silhouettes ever. Definitely going for these, such a clean design!
The AJ4 are bulky and uncomfortable, these are x2 bulky but maybe more comfy

@@Gnurklesquimp2 😂 true
4:59 Exactly. I have the same problem with some of my fours.
This Vid is just my gusto. Thx to you and the Team.
green is my color and I love 4s. dont even care that they are SB, im not with that hype, i just love the colorway. absolutely love these!!!!

I always appreciate my mans skate knowledge. On point
I always learn a bit of history with every video. I really appreciate that part for sure. Great video man 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed!
These are so fire I need em 😩 and dope to see rose anvil getting some recognition 👍🏼
You get more than a review on your videos; a bit of history lesson too which is great!
Always elite work over here tbh
Wow those seem way nicer than I expected, and the shape, man - amazing
I hope that some Celtics player is gonna wear them in game tho

Hell yeah Chris tell them resellers where they can go!!
Keep up with the dope vids man 🔥🔥🔥
Eric Koston used to skate jordan 3s. I love this channel so much because you analyze history and pay respect to us skaters who been here long before the hype haha
That’s a great fun fact! A lot of Koston’s early models with eS took design inspiration from Jordans. From the 3 all the way to the 12.
If I could afford, then I would buy one to stock and one to rock!
You are the best channel out there for this TH-cam genre. 🎉
One of the best shoes ever.
Thanks for the review 🤙

you guys are the first one that I watch everytime i buy new shoes. thank you for being just the best. excited about this shoe.
This is the review I’ve been waiting for. These are up there as my favourite release of the year so far. Time to sit back and enjoy the video!
Saw this guy in a documentary the other day . AND 1 documentary.. awesome that you were recognized man !
I’m happy I got these bro! They are so comfortable compared to other 4s but also they’re just nice to look at! The cuts are very clean and you can really just admire the shoe for what it is! The new textures for the accents feel very nice and not just some cheaper alternative. Wow this shoe is up there with the white cements 2016 and Breds 2019 for me
They are definitely the most comfortable Jordan 4 retro. They did a great job with these.
@@WearTesters they really did! And that wedge shape is everything to me!
I love your knowledge in shoes and skateboarding
Your reviews are always great. Informative and educational I dare say. I love these SBs, grabbed a pair resale😫. But still glad I have them. Thanks for another great ep.
I've decided to make these my resell pick-up this year
I love this channel. You stick true to who you are and do what you do. I hate how sneaker channels are just regurgitating the same video every one else does. It’s like one guy puts out a video on how prices are about to go up once AIR releases and then you see everyone else make the same video. Plus you hate resalers too. They can kiss mine too. Lol
i held off on the craft and the olives because i knew i would want these. your in depth review just solidified that. mannnnn they are beautiful.
Thanks Chris, def gunna try to cop a pair 👍👍
This is my favorite channel without a doubt
This is a cop for me, I've worn Jordan and Nike SB my entire life, and this is a collab I needed! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
First person I seen skate Air Jordan 4s was Vincent Nava in his video part for Pig Wheels R.I.P 👼 because of him I skated my Black Cat 4s
These are CRAZY, hopefully able to cop this weekend
I still have my PHAT Suns lows. They're beat beyond recognition,though. I wore them out LOL. I'm passing on these. Gotta save dough for other releases. Thanks for the review,Chris and Jodi. You guys rock!!!!!!!
Finally got em - shoe of the year in my book (close one with the reverse grinch)
Literally the best shoetube channel on the platform.
Love your knowledge for sneakers 👍

That sloped slimmer toebox makes these 4's look way better.
Great review Chris,thanks
I've been waiting for this review especially about the quality of the leather and other materials! Thank you!
Man I gotta say those are nice and I have the military black 4’s these will look good next to them thanks man for the video found you a year ago and never disappointed ✌🏻
Those are some sick pair of sneakers, already brought me 3 pairs : ) also added some Uptempos '96s to my cart, your content gave me that shopping bug again lol, thanks man.
Glad you like them!
Great history lesson! Trying to cop these for a friend.
I haven't been excited for a long time, but man, these Jordan 4 SB's look sick af! 😍 🔥
Just subscribed, have been watching your videos recently and feel your reviews are spot on when talking about sizing, materials, break in, etc
Thanks for the sub!
100% cop for me. Three words I love to hear from Chris, “damn near perfect!” 🔥
Indeed I need. The 4s are my favorite. These are cold!
so nice Chris knows a lot of the history about snkrs
I learn a lot watching your videos
Fan from Brazil!!!!!!!!!
love you guys!
Thanks for watching!
My most favorite part is the way they colorblocked the shoe. It looks really good. I would still cop even if they didn't brand the SB
The coolest guy gives the best advice for all the J’s 💯💯💯
My local skate shop is having this release, and he showed his pair, and they were beat up. He says they are very good for skateboarding 🤣. He said they mad comfortable. I was like, they beat up, he replied, "My BOSS told me too... Also, he told me they are getting way more SB's than normal. Hope I can cop my pair. 🔥
Awesome video as always
Been lucky on Snkrs lately but missed on the reimagined 3's so crossing my fingers for these.
These really grew on me once I learned they were sail instead of whites and the green and gum started looking nicer. I always have also said that I liked the fours because they looked and felt kinda like the puffy wider dvs dc skate shoes I used to wear as a kid on my feet so it’s cool to have these kinda validate my claim
Just copped these. Size 16 for only $313 on StockX. Quite a steal!
Mine are on the way!!!!! Can't wait
I actually hit at my local skate shop in Australia for the first time ever. You don't understand how difficult it is to get any release in Australia, let alone an SB.
When I first saw these and then I seen that you had a video, the first thing I said was "I guarantee Chris will mention the shape and compliment how good they look.

These are getting delivered tomorrow and I had watch this video again 😁
Hope I can grab a pair.
Awesome review as always 🔥🔥🔥
Great stuff! Finally got a rare Early Access W, so I'm super excited for these!
I love this channel. I enjoyed the reseller comment. Lol.
They look awesome, I was lucky to get mine off SNKRS early release. They should be here Saturday I can’t wait!
Right on time, just got EA on these!! 🙏
I would love to grad a pair. Thank you for the review. I've been Patiently waiting on this video.
Dope I got the ea today! And this review popped up, perfect morning for a 👟 head
The review I was waiting for 🙏🏾
Love this channel always helps out with shoes I want thank you
Happy to help!
Those are nice 👌 and good video.
Great review !
Dope looking shoe, just ordered mine after watching this video
Lucky 🍀 I am adding the first green J ever to my closet ... decided to go after your review. Thanks for a great review 🤜🤛 as usual
Finally someone talks about the back tab! Those things destroy my achilles every time! I have to wear long socks or pants just to wear a pair of 4s
just cut it. 😎👍🏼
I wish they actually made these attainable for everyone… Not just collectors.
Love these! Sneaker of the year
These are great. The colors used really compliment each other
You just did it again sir! I just got mine, how i can refuse to buy if you explain it just PERFECT great vid and analysis it give me ideas what to buy and not. 👌👍☝️

Any time!
Nice review as always 🔥
I think having suede instead of rubber is perfectly fine. When I got into skating a couple years back most of not all shoes had suede. I feel like rubber has been a more recent thing but I could be wrong.
Rubber toe caps have been used on skate shoes since the 90’s.
Rubber toe caps where popular on skate shoes in the late 90s early 2000s. Most modern skate shoes use suede.
Dope, as always .
