The problem with black durabuck/faux nubuck is that the black is too matte and too uniform. It takes away the dimension and texture of the various panels and shapes of the sneakers, rendering it almost 2D. These should be done in a tumble black leather.
I personally like the yellow one. But they’re so hard to find and so expensive. This one can be the alternative for the OG thunder. If they were varsity red colour instead of infrared I think they will be more 🔥
@@noz3r373 I live in Malaysia so the option is limited 😆. I checked local market I only found 1 person had this . And online marketplace similar too stockx and goat here don’t have the original thunder. Even Singapore reseller company website don’t have it. There are used pairs on goat and grailed but I prefer local market first.
I think Nike had already said last year that eventually they would be giving stores less quantities. I’m fairly sure that Nike is trying to be more straight to consumer than they are right now.
Man i'm genuinely stoked for this release! I personally don't own a pair of AJ4s and i'm really hoping & praying I will be able to cop one! I saw in your video it doesn't fill you but at least imo I think they look sick! Also looking forward for the infrareds coming up later this year. Best of luck to everyone trying to cop them!
@@Nintendglo There actually isn't as much stock as you might think. The last couple of j4 releases have had similar stock and they've been really difficult to get.
@@Nintendglo do you know where I can buy a pair retail without having to do raffles I bought the yellow lightnings and love them so I want to buy these for myself
@@shadycharacters1934 no. Its the opposite. Its a dark, deep, rich red. Closer to a burgundy. Look at Alabama's colors. They're called the crimson tide.
I caught my pair through SNKRS EA. I’m a lot more with it in hand than I was from pictures online. I want to double up before I wear them, though. Fingers crossed for the in store raffles that I entered
This is a clean shoe . It just draws to much comparison to the bred 4s because of the red and black. The two tone look red and black look on the sneaker give it that dull look. The thunders use that black and yellow color blocking. Makes the shoe more bold Especially the use of certain materials. Just like the marina blue aj 1 to much comparison to the Royal 1s not a bad compromise though so to each their own. If you like them rock them !
people just hating fr, i got mine in person and trust me they hit way different and are fyeee ash. these are fs going to raise to 400+ by late 2022 or early 2023 💯
This shoe was my very first exclusive access on SNKRS, and my first pair of AJ4's. I wasn't planning on getting these, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity
@@DeliciousDevious your going way too far dude chill definitely the better than the union joints,teddy bear GS shits and others,just because Seth doesn’t like em don’t mean other people can’t too
Everyone keeps saying these are crimson but crimson is actually a darker shade than red on a color scale. These are a lighter shade, like salmon, pink, imperial, scarlet, etc
Funny thing is Wear Testers said the exact same thing about the condition of the box getting early delivery. Some collectors are freaks about those details and it could cost you the resale of them. They should put Fragile stickers on the boxes of expensive purchases at the very least.
Something about the red soles on these just seems off, and from other people who have gotten it early seems like there are a lot of QC issues, even for nike. Gonna be a pass for me
Infrared. Exactly. Everyone reviewing it keeps referring to the red as crimson. I know that's the name of the shoe but anyone with eyes can see that's not the color
@@kygu I'm not talking about the name they're calling the shoe. I'm talking about the color. They'll say, it has crimson here or there. When clearly it's not crimson. I honestly believe they don't know what crimson looks like. For instance this guy here called the red under the netting light. Well crimson is dark.
why do people say this shoe looks like a kids shoe but turn around and say the jordan 4 lightings are fye and don’t look like a kids shoe even though they’re pretty much completely yellow and look like your walking with bananas for shoes 💀 smh
that’s what i’m saying. people are gonna say these are not a good color way like they did with the black cats. but after 2 years people started wanting the black cats and are now expensive ash selling at 800-900 for a size 10 mens. so i feel like these will probably do the same thing if you hold for a year or two since the color way is fyeee
Clearly aren’t a sneaker head in 2006 thunders and lightnings released the thunders were black and yellow and the lightnings were the same as they released a year ago but when these were leaked ppl were calling them “Red thunder” cause they have the same color blocking as the 2006 and 2012 thunders just in red instead of yellow
@@diegoaguilera2945 hey man, I’m from Australia, we get limited to non of the Jordan releases, I only been Into the sneaker game since 2016 due to this reason, but thanks for the info and teaching me something new
I have lost 2 of my sneakers while selling on ebay UK, i started flipping ebay recently and 2 of my sneakers have already been stolen, once while reaching the authentication and one reaching to the buyer, this is so disappointing.
i got these on snkrs after pump faking until 1004. sz 9.5 the price isn't going down it's going up, just like a majority of the retro iv's. but what do ik lol.
The light red looks like custom plastic bits added onto the shoe after they made it making this type of black suede look off. Not sure why its so hype.
I had the exact same thought when I first saw these, looks like a GS shoe. I think it's because of the red eyelets next to the laces, Idk they just don't do it for me.

really thinking of getting these instead of the Black Cats, because im not paying $1k for a pair or Jordan 4s w/ no collab just because theyre all black lol
I was able to double up on these and the patent leather bred 1’s for retail. Look forward to putting these in my closet with the 100+ other shoes I have.
I personally think that the red is what throws it off, if it was like that dark red on the patent 1’s they would look better
it s the Jumpman. I feel like if they threw the nike air on the heel tab it would make ita be 1000% #NotAHypebeast lol
Trippin these are fire lol
@@OfficialUknow nah
Gay opinion
Idk if it’s the color but sum definitely off. Hella mixed opinions on these. They fire asf but sum off keepin me frm coppin a pair

You are 100% right, but I feel like they don't care about crafting their shoes well since they will anyways go sold out
Naw they should be done in real suede like the all suede fire red 4’s were

Infinitely better😭

Great video Seth!
It doesn't say crimson as the color on the box bc that's not crimson. Look at the Alabama colors. Crimson is a deep, dark red.
I thought crimson is supposed to be a bright vivid red
@@shadycharacters1934 no. Its the opposite. Its a dark, deep, rich red. Closer to a burgundy. Look at Alabama's colors. They're called the crimson tide.
It’s what Nike calls it smart guy
It says crimson/black
those look FIRE
I caught my pair through SNKRS EA. I’m a lot more with it in hand than I was from pictures online. I want to double up before I wear them, though. Fingers crossed for the in store raffles that I entered
Same, but lasership stole it
So pissed
I hit EA a while ago and was hoping to get a second pair today but somehow I took Ls on like almost every site 😭

I got early access on them my first jordan 4 and I think they are clean af 🔥

I’m not sure why but I absolutely hate the colorblocking. Something about a black AJ4 with hits of color just looks…Payless shoes to me
I 100% agree, these are so hideous I got FNL EA and didn't even bother coping hopefully I get granted EA on a better pair.
What do you think of the thunders??
These aj4’s is a definitely pass. They need to bring back the aj4 toros for sure! Those were 🔥
Everyone keeps saying these are crimson but crimson is actually a darker shade than red on a color scale. These are a lighter shade, like salmon, pink, imperial, scarlet, etc

Exactly
I'm not a huge fan for some reason. I'm much more looking forward to the infrared.
Same I might actually get the infareds
First hit on SNKRS for me bruh. big w
i see a lot of people passing on these, hope i can get them for retail🙏🏽
i’m tryna see what these would look like with white or red laces
What about hot pink
Funny thing is Wear Testers said the exact same thing about the condition of the box getting early delivery. Some collectors are freaks about those details and it could cost you the resale of them. They should put Fragile stickers on the boxes of expensive purchases at the very least.
Goat sent my ICA Air Force 1s to me with a fat dent in the box. If I planned on ever getting rid of them I would have been pissed. Still annoyed tho
Why does the box have the cement style to it and the sneaker doesnt have a cement style?
Love the 4s but I think I will pass on this one, not really feeling the red a lot😏

Couldn't get the retail one because i had trouble logging into my account so just bought it elsewhere. 😔

Those hit different
these give the impression of like evolved black af1s if that makes any sense
Here’s my question. White Oreo 4s or these?
Something is “off” with these. I’ll pass. Thanks for a great review.
My man out here with the puddle jumpers on. I hit 5 pairs so im gunna say stock was high
I'm so glad you called them Crimson and not Red Thunder

Might get them hopefully

where do you get snkrs that haven t been launched yet?
HOW DID YOU GET THEM ?
Retale for yall is 190 but I'm 6 1/2 almost 7 at 16 so my sneaker collection is 😩 and I only pay 140 for em
Got early access on these on SNKRS, didn’t like them and sold them for $300
I think making outsole white. Or change midsole as well would’ve made it look better. I think it has too much black
I actually like the crimson better. I'm no good with the reds
