As a Lebron Stan, these are my absolute grails. Been collecting shoes for 18 years, and I've been waiting so long for these to release to the public. I can't wait to have these on display!
All of ya'll crying about the price saying it's too high is completely forgetting that this shoe is a foamposite and all foamposite shoes have a high price point because of the foamposite technology. It's common sense. Yes the price is high but the LeBron 4 is an indestructible shoe and will so it's worth it. These shoes won't crease up and make you lose interest in them after you bought them, that's the greatest plus of the LeBron 4. This colorway is just the icing on the cake. Hypothetically speaking, if these did sell out in the first day, imagine the resell price with the shoe already costing $268 after taxes. So I just don't understand the complaining, long response but some of us really only wear the old LeBron's and is really passionate about the line. Jordan's ain't been on my feet in 10 years, old LeBron's and Crazy Iinfinity Adidas
I was 9 when Lebron entered the league. I also grew up with a single mother. Getting access to shoes like these is a dream come true. I hope they sit just like the other retros. I’ll probably buy a pair on release day and pick another pair up if they do go on sale. Great video as always!
I miss my lebron 4 bday edition! Had them in old school 80s cavs colors (used to wear them with my Knicks gear 👀). Might buy if they release that color way again
At 1:03 you can see the outsole of the PE is white with colored borders while this retros outsole is colored in completely with the respective color in each rectangular cut out of the outsole. That’s clearly a difference
Bron retros sit in smaller sizes, but the big bois sell out quick. I wear size 13, and I've had to pay resale for almost every single retro I got; I wish Nike would acknowledge this and adjust the production numbers of larger sizes.
@@darekhimself just got the fruity pebbles for $165 $195 with All the taxes on eBay and I wear size 13 also and I got the eggplants for $260 on eBay from Hong Kong
As much as I loved shoes like this at the time, I can’t imagine putting those bricks on feet today. I need PE releases for some of Nike’s lightweight models, especially the Air Zoom Ultraflight & Zoom BB. Gotta go with the rewind button; being able to relive yesterday with today’s knowledge is a superpower.
I vividly remember walking into a Nike factory near Santa Barbara and seeing the bred lebron 4 but ended up getting the Nike uptempo legend which most people don’t remember as the takedown Kobe 1 lol
These are absolutely awesome. Definitely not for everyone, but these were an era. And I still love a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. I'm pausing in the moment. Can someone tell my daughters to stop getting older!?
“I love seeing tech”. So do I. It’s also my thing. I just like buying and trying different bball shoes because of the different tech setups, even though I am a bit older now and only play casually. I also went back to my parents house, and found the AJ17 suitcase still there, they haven’t thrown away even though I have moved out 20+ years.
So glad they finally retroed the lebron 4s. They were one of the first pairs i fell in love with!! When i finally had enough money saved up, they stopped making them...
if you are like me and has weak ankles then shoes like these are a blessing! I got the 2021 space jam lbj 8's and holy fuck was that a wonderful experience, i respect the chunkyness because i get the support out of it, excited how to see the lbj 20's will hold up on me! (yes i fell for your review LOL ) Keep it up!
I think this is great a lot of Lebron shoes get forgotten about, it’s a weird time in sneakers. However if you’re a fan of his shoes get em he not going to play for ever , Jordan’s are one of the only shoes that can dig into catalog or over due colorways . PLUS his shoes hit the outlet way faster and cheaper
I got the Lebron 4 Anthracites late last year and they've been my favourite shoes of the winter, I'd love to pick these up if I can figure out how to pull off the fruity pebble look!
Footlocker clearly states bowl and spoon included and it does not so I'm returning em for that price I snapped a screen shot to before they edit the details out
It said family size on the PE Pull tab. I had 2 pairs. The changes are the tongue logo, the footbed logo, how the lebron logo attaches to the strap, and the colour/ material of the strap and strap area. Oh and the blue on the sole. The PE was 2 sets of purple up front. Half was replaced with light blue.
Nike is definitely on pause and rewind. Even the "new" stuff they're releasing like the DN or the Lunar Roam is just shoes that are made with old tech or made to look like retro shoes. This Lebron is fun though. Happy for all those that have always wanted this shoe are finally getting a chance to buy them.
You know what’s cool? These awesome 15 mins I spend before work learning stuff about sneakers and hearing crazy questions of the day lol I think I would go rewind, instead of pause. Both have their appeal but there’s a time or two I would’ve liked to hit the rewind
Hypothetical questions to someone as analytical as NightWing are so difficult to garner just a Y/N answer. It was awesome to see him puzzle this out. Rewind was easy winner. No extra thoughts needed!
Just like this return of the South Beaches, Miami night lows, WTT etc these will probably have the same fate which is crazy because I would think that these are the most coveted out of all of the LeBron retros they’ve released.
These and the dunkman 3s are some of my favorite Lebron's ever. Excited to try to get them, especially after missing on the eggplant foams this morning.
I had these in college in white/silver. boy were they comfortable but heavy as hell. traction on my white/silver colorway was ass. they also felt like they ran long. nostalgia on point tho
@WearTesters Who picks the sarcastic video clips!? 😂 “The more you know 🌈 “ 🤣 I’ve seen it before but today was even more funny 🤣 I luv y’all. My new favorites 💯
Despite my love for Lebron's shoes I think the Lebron Retros are too premature to be appreciated properly. I was so glad when the South Beach retro came out, and I bought it as soon as it became affordable for me. The Fruity Pebbles will also be another pair I will buy once they become affordable. This is a rare time where if you want a (Lebron) shoe, you can actually get it... ...because wait until he retires, and the prices on these retros will SKYROCKET I think it will be (similar, not the same) like Jordan Retros that are now impossible to buy for affordable pricing.
I've spent enough money on shoes this month so I'll wait, but if they're still available at the end of march I'll definitely grab a pair. Not a LeBron 4 fan but this colorway is right up my alley
Definitely go with the rewind, you could pull a back to the future. I had the first drop of the lebron 4 when it came out and they were super comfortable I’m hoping that these drop in price cause that price tag is HEFTY.
Oooooooooooooh……great addition to that question. I’d take REWIND. There is literally ONE thing I wish I could rewind things and correct, and that would allow me to do it. Now I can only see one real benefit to pausing…..you can make yourself seems like you’re like a speedster like the Flash, in fact Zoom does that in the comics i believe. Regardless of how fun that could be, I’d wanna correct my mistake…so Rewind all day.
I wanted one back when I was a kid and still want one sadly the black anthracite wasn’t released here in the Philippines and hopefully this one reaches us here so I can cop it in retail
I hope these sit because i am definitely buying so weird you talked about the batman show, i started rewatching the series on netflix last week haha its so good
Damn just copped me a pair!!! If there was only a certain amount of these shoes they look like there worth about a band. If I was a famous basketball player all my shoes would be collabs with colorful food for colorful colorways!!
Maybe, next to common factors, it's because of the enormous infrastructure of resell sites / second hand sites like Goat that exist nowadays? The market begins to get oversaturated because everybody saves his old shoes. In the nineties most people threw them away, not aware they were valuable in the long run.
I’m hype that stuff like this is dropping AND you can grab the graffiti 4’s at a 50% discount in some spots which is amazing. I know these are expensive to produce but $240 for a LeBron retro is tough to stomach. Under retail or bust for me on these.
as a younger dude no one tryna buy old brons they bricks these look cool though im taking the pause button so i can pause at 11:58 and finish my assignments due at 11:59
18 years later we finally got it. They didn’t sit on the shelves which is great. Just shows you how excited everyone was for this shoe
Over here in Munich they are still sitting at Kicktz... got my pair for 175€ instead of 250€...

I liked playing in the LeBron 4 in early 2007. Fun shoe.
Yes, memories....
Me too, except mine was a counterfeit. 😂
It was a great show support wise. Just way to heavy for me personally
I was 2 years old 😃
@@carteryork8076 i was graduating college

I need these im not even a LeBron fan but I remember as a kid looking these up on the internet in computer class and wanting a pair
I loved playing in these. They weren't a problem to play in if you didn't miss leg day.
Wearing them was leg day 🤣
@@WearTesters 😂😂😂
This is not a shoe is a piece of art
I remember when the LeBron 7 Fairfax came out, PE collectors were pissed lol
Glad I got mine below retail lol!
I miss my lebron 4 bday edition! Had them in old school 80s cavs colors (used to wear them with my Knicks gear 👀). Might buy if they release that color way again
My favorite model of all LeBrons. The Foamposite is dope. I also noticed that the outsole is diff from the original.
Bout time Nike! I'll be grabbing these asap!
At 1:03 you can see the outsole of the PE is white with colored borders while this retros outsole is colored in completely with the respective color in each rectangular cut out of the outsole. That’s clearly a difference
I played in these too. Super heavy but extremely durable.
Bron retros sit in smaller sizes, but the big bois sell out quick. I wear size 13, and I've had to pay resale for almost every single retro I got; I wish Nike would acknowledge this and adjust the production numbers of larger sizes.
I was able to get a 13, apparently less than 25k pairs total dropped. Wonder how resale will be, might want another pair so I can ball in these

I remember this shoe being $20k at a point I’ve been waiting and wanting this shoe FOREVER cannot wait for release day
Did you get your hands on a pair?
@@k1ngl3bron6 i did man snkrs app crashed on me but copped from extra butter nyc should get them today actually
Engagement!!! I engaged with y'all!! Keep grindin'. I would rewind all day.
Need these for the collection! One of my all time grails 🔥
I vividly remember walking into a Nike factory near Santa Barbara and seeing the bred lebron 4 but ended up getting the Nike uptempo legend which most people don’t remember as the takedown Kobe 1 lol
This is my favorite lebron. They are so comfortable
$250 is the reason they sit. These are heat tho
That is FACTS Merlow…way too high a price point…I’ll cop once the price drops
@@jlew2239may the best of luck with you because pretty much every retro in my size has not dropped in price
Wonder how resell will be, sold out everywhere and apparently made less than 25k pairs total
These are absolutely beautiful.. chunky.. but gorgeous
I’ll absolutely buy these on sale
These are a must cop for me. Nostalgic sneaker.
These are absolutely awesome. Definitely not for everyone, but these were an era. And I still love a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

I always loved the silhouette of this shoe and happy to see it back!
Love the look of these shoes, especially that outsole 🤩
I absolutely need these in my life.
So glad they finally retroed the lebron 4s. They were one of the first pairs i fell in love with!! When i finally had enough money saved up, they stopped making them...
Please let these sit this is one of my all time dream sneaker grails
Hopefully they sit, these were always one of my fave lebron colorways. If i can pick these up for under retail itd be even better
sold out in 4 minutes haha
Sold out in seconds. Definitely got my 12.5
Wanted these soooo bad when i saw them first. But now i am fine without these :)
if you are like me and has weak ankles then shoes like these are a blessing!

These have been #1 on my Most Wanted list for YEARS. An absolute must for me.
Started to play basketball when these were around, need to get them!
Really cool presentation on the box and shoe itself 🔥
I got the Lebron 4 Anthracites late last year and they've been my favourite shoes of the winter, I'd love to pick these up if I can figure out how to pull off the fruity pebble look!
@weartesters I legit laughed out loud when you said the dye does something to your intestinal track! 😂😂 CAN RELATE
As a kid I always dreamed of getting these. I want them but that $250 price tag is insane 😂
Footlocker clearly states bowl and spoon included and it does not so I'm returning em for that price I snapped a screen shot to before they edit the details out
Thank you for another great review. I'll consider buying these if I can find a good sale.
I would prefer a rewind button over the pause button.
Lebron 9 are my favorite ❤
It said family size on the PE Pull tab. I had 2 pairs. The changes are the tongue logo, the footbed logo, how the lebron logo attaches to the strap, and the colour/ material of the strap and strap area.
Oh and the blue on the sole. The PE was 2 sets of purple up front. Half was replaced with light blue.
I’m going to cop these to display such a well put together shoe, plus it is an amazing piece of art!
This is a dream come true for me. Give me all the Lebron PE’s.
Nike is definitely on pause and rewind. Even the "new" stuff they're releasing like the DN or the Lunar Roam is just shoes that are made with old tech or made to look like retro shoes. This Lebron is fun though. Happy for all those that have always wanted this shoe are finally getting a chance to buy them.
a very fun colorway of the shoes. To answer the question of the day i’d also choose to rewind a day
You know what’s cool? These awesome 15 mins I spend before work learning stuff about sneakers and hearing crazy questions of the day lol I think I would go rewind, instead of pause. Both have their appeal but there’s a time or two I would’ve liked to hit the rewind

they ARE the most coveted... they're just way before their time unfortunately.
Once he retires, these retros will be more appreciated...
Exactly why I doubled up on some of those releases & will def double up on these lol
These sold out twice in 2004!!.. things have definitely changed and the M. S. R. P. as well.. thanks for the vid.
Another difference between these and the PEs is the outsole. Bron’s herringbone pods are white and these are coloured:)
The LB 11 was a Fire shoe
These and the dunkman 3s are some of my favorite Lebron's ever. Excited to try to get them, especially after missing on the eggplant foams this morning.
If these were $100, I'd buy.
I had these in college in white/silver. boy were they comfortable but heavy as hell. traction on my white/silver colorway was ass. they also felt like they ran long.
nostalgia on point tho
Chris I’m out here trying to save money and here you go breaking down this insanely sick shoe right in my face.
My favorite cereal..these were Grails back in the day. Might get them as a trophy piece lol
@WearTesters Who picks the sarcastic video clips!? 😂 “The more you know 🌈 “ 🤣 I’ve seen it before but today was even more funny 🤣 I luv y’all. My new favorites 💯

You guys are right. I'm a Nike fan and I'm waiting for some new stuff too . I love your channel.
I've spent enough money on shoes this month so I'll wait, but if they're still available at the end of march I'll definitely grab a pair. Not a LeBron 4 fan but this colorway is right up my alley
I wish they'd release the black and red colorway of this shoe. I like the Fruity Pebble one, but I would never actually wear them.
The Batman is so slept on. Awesome reference.
These were damn near a myth back in my playground, I cant wait to get a pair
Thanks for the history & review 🙂
Definitely go with the rewind, you could pull a back to the future.
I had the first drop of the lebron 4 when it came out and they were super comfortable I’m hoping that these drop in price cause that price tag is HEFTY.
All I want is for them to not immediately sell out, so I can get a pair. Just one pair Nike, I beg of you
Thanks for the upload sir!!!

Crazy shoe, don't think I could wear em but it screams Im a collector!!
Hoping to get these, Lebron 4 was a cool silhouette in my opinion.
And Rewind for sure!!!
those free running shoes were so comfortable. had a couple back in the day. 🙂
Interesting shoe tbh. I got the fruity peppels dunks. But I like this maybe for spring because of a colorful way. Love from Germany
I wanted one back when I was a kid and still want one sadly the black anthracite wasn’t released here in the Philippines and hopefully this one reaches us here so I can cop it in retail
Always wanted a pair of LBJ 4s. I finally got a pair of the 2s this last year 🎉
Undecided on whether or not to buy them. I love the shoe but idk if I can pull them off lol
I hope these sit because i am definitely buying
so weird you talked about the batman show, i started rewatching the series on netflix last week haha its so good
It's a shame they don't release Kobe pe''s that's whenever everybody wants.
These 16-21k back in 2009. My dreamshoes back then.
100% I would pause a couple times a day and slip in a cheeky 10 hour nap.
So excited for these!! Hope I’ll get lucky on SNKRS!
Damn just copped me a pair!!! If there was only a certain amount of these shoes they look like there worth about a band. If I was a famous basketball player all my shoes would be collabs with colorful food for colorful colorways!!

I think it’s great that Nike is releasing all of the past LeBron’s, especially the PE’s!
Love these, but $250 RETAIL??! 😳
I hope they sit so I can get on clearance
They won't

how do you get to the laces?
This was my high school basketball shoe
Looks like Nike went all in getting all the small details right 🔥
Is it easy to get started? Is it limited?
There dope for sure but that price is crazy they will sit just like the last lebron 4 retro
ALWAYS TAKE THE REWIND OPTION OVER THE TIME FREEZE
as a younger dude no one tryna buy old brons they bricks these look cool though im taking the pause button so i can pause at 11:58 and finish my assignments due at 11:59
The 2k5 was the first shoe to have free technology
