Here is a video review of the 2016 Nike Air Jordan IV (4) Retro "Cement" colorway. In this video I compare the quality and craftsmanship to the 2012 Air Jordan 4 Retro. The main differences between the 2 are the "Nike Air" Branding on the Sole, Insoles, and back tab of the 2016 OG version to make it feel more like the original. The 2012 version had Jumpman and Jordan Branding. The other noticeable difference is the color of the Grey is much lighter on the 2016 than from the 2012 pair. Lastly the leather quality is much, much better than the "McDonalds" leather on the 2012 pair. The only down side is the price point. The 2016 pair retails for $220, while the 2012 pair was $160, so a $60 price hop is a bit much for 4 years.

Jordan Brand launched the Retro Remaster initiative in spring of 2015. In response to consumer feedback, it incorporated enhanced color options, cushioning, materials and shapes while retaining each shoe’s original character. The brand sustains this initiative by evolving the remastering process and reintroducing the Nike Air logo on the heels of storied silhouettes. The decision, which honors original designs like never before, was approved by Michael Jordan and continues with the Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Cement’.
The fan-favorite Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Cement’ returns for the first time since 1999, complete with randomized paint splashes, premium leather uppers and the famous NIKE AIR logo on the heel. Available February 13 on Nike.com/SNKRS (10am EST/7am PST).
LOL at the "McDonalds" look! Great comparison on the 2016 vs the 2012! Keep up the good work Hes!
To be quite honest, my primary reason for buying Js is nostalgia. That's why I have hard time buying anything other than OG colorways. Will grab the cool grays and lightning for sure, though, if they ever release again.
I had 5s, 6s, and 7s as a kid, but always wished I had the money to get 3s and 4s when they came out - no paycheck for a 5/6th grader, so I was at the mercy of the Ps!
They look the same lol bro
I'm 17 so I never saw MJ play... I respect him based on what everyone speaks about him and calls him the Goat or whatever... However because of that there really isn't any nostalgia related to the shoes for me personally... So I go off of aesthetics... I really like the model of the 4's and with the Nike Air on the back I think it's a really nice shoe... That was the deciding factor for me and why I chose to cop them. They are just really clean and I think I could wear them with anything.
+Victor Murillo nice!
+Hes Kicks For example a really nostalgic and popular shoe that's coming out later this year would be the Flu Game 12's... I think those are ugly IMO and would rather get the Master 12's... Lol Also think 11's are really overrated, I think they're all ugly but the Columbia's cx
+Victor Murillo the funny thing is that when I was 17 I said the same thing about the XIs I only liked models 3-7and 14.Kudos to you for this comment. Bro you gotta see them in person they're a really great shoe the patent leather stands out and they are very durable, those shoes were ahead of their time.
Jordan was an assasin in crunch time with the ball in his hand in the 4th quarter with a killer instinct and I saw bird and magic play also
they call earl manigualt the goat
You are right hes this younger generation have never seen Jordan play but hype up somethings they know nothing about, but either I got mine and it definitely brought me back to the the 80s
So glad they mass produced them, got two, they're still tough to get, I need to swap one down for a half size so it can fit like a glove
Nice review hes. Glad u got ur pair!
Yo Hes quick tip on pants, try tapered or slim denim. It's inexpensive to taper them. The look would really compliment the shoes. Loved the video!
The netting on the side is also different. On the 2012 pair it's straight.. The 2016 is much more slanted. Check it out.
True to the original.
Those cement 3s are fiiire...Where did you cop them,rhe are one of my grails and I've been looking for them everywhere. I need them in my life man. Good reviews though keep it up
Plot twist, they’re reps lol
These are closer to the 1999 release not the 1989 release the OGs had a durabuck upper, which is what all 4s I believe had but they changed the materials because of how the durabuck cracks from age
Got mine and the red,black,white ones also..........can’t complain!👏🏾👍🏾❤️
Even the font of the NIKE AIR branding on the heel is jacked up which is why I didn't cop the retro '88. The True Blue's on the other hand they got the font right on the heel. I love the 2016 tech grey OG 4's. Absolutely love the nike air branding which is what I been wanting since I was ten years old. Beautiful shoe which I doubled up on.
im interested in how many people are gonna pick up the yeezys on Friday...
Wish they would keep the original form all the way instead of giving us the Jumpman tab.
Have you even wore those 2012's yet?
+Frank McCullough they too ugly xD
+Alex Diaz how because they dont have the og right u hypebeast
+KingKenny913 if you saw heskicks video is because of the quality.
Alex Diaz oh yea my bad
+KingKenny913 When you put the 2012 pair next to the 2016 pair it is almost impossible towear that 2012 pair again. I bought 2 pairs of the 2012. One the yr that it came out ( this is when I began following Jordan Brand after the " cement " 4 released ) for about 260 or so and the other in 2013 for 325. One new and one worn because I ruined the first pair by letting these fools in the mall clean them with their cleaners that really just took the quality further away from it. But now with this yrs release you look at those 2012's almost as if they were beaters. Crazy because when they came out everybody thought they were ill. But not next to those 2016. Matter of fact, I don't even think the shape of the 99's and the og's compares to the 2016. They look too bulky. It was about time for a " remastering "
( whatever that means ) of these. Salaam !
U forgot to mention that the 2012 retros was the first we seen the OG box come back in its original form with the black tissue paper which was part of the selling strategy for those...
Good call!
Good vid and I like the fact the materials are better. And to not have to wait on a ticket call. You lucky man to have a lady who is okay other your Sneaker habit. I had to get a secret storage for mines lol
+Young Den lol!
I have the maroon 6s in a 9.5 and I have them with a force field (prevent crease) and due to recommendations I went 10 on these.. What do you think? Right decision
These are my favorite 4's of all time
Classics!
was able to cop and I really like the quality of the sneaker. now hopefully I can get the master 12's when then come out next week
Another nice one
I'm so happy these are my second pair of Jordan's only started liking shoes( buying them) for a year and I got my first pair 3 months ago and I'm not disappointed these are my favourite 4's and my 3rd favourite Jordan
+Scott Hastings its a dope pare to have especially with it being ur second pair! some dudes have been waiting decades to own a pair!
damn the 2012 model still DS?? O.O
wear ya kicks bruh!
dope video
thanks for the links appreciate them every time weekend
🙏
So glad i sold my 2012s when i did for a premium lol. Cant wait to get my 2016 nike air 4s in the mail.
So people had a hard time getting these in stores? I was able to walk in at 12 and they had full size runs in all the stores. They're probably sold out now but damn it was stress free on release day.
Nike really capitalizing on the hype behind the Nike Air on the back, and how it differentiated the retro, from the vintage. It makes it way less dope imo
all nike shoes that is in the nike store is original right?even tho it said in the size thing made in china,made in vietnam and many else.reply pls
can someone explain why they did the nike on the outsole right with this one but didn't with the '13 88 3s?
1999s better..that collar height from the wing on the 2016 remasters is still horrible. All the 99s needed was speckles like the 2016s and they would be practically perfect to the OGs
speaking facts all the time love your channel bro!
Thx for watching!
In all honesty i never understood some of the names given to this jordans for example: the wht/blk/red 3s are called white cements yet its has no cement print on it. It has elephant print. Some people say its because of the grey on the print but it doesn't have the speckles the 4s have. Then theirs the white/blk/red 5s everyone calls those & the wht/red/blk 5s fire reds. Why do both have the same name? Why not call the wht/blk/red pair the Chicago 5s since it resembles more of a Chicago bulls color way. Its like saying the white cement 4s are another pair of Fired red 4s & the aqua 8s are a pair of black grape 8s.. How do these names get chosen anyway -_-
Nike Air Jordan 3s, my grails. Need to the 4s to complete the collection.
Did you wear your 2k16 4's before the video?
Everyone loved the 2012s before they decided to remaster them. Now everyone hates the 2012? LOL
Hahahahah I'm with you pal. I remember 2012 release like it was yesterday. I just copped a pair of vnds 2012s for under a buck 60. Glad I did it these don't even have the shape or cushioning inside the shoe like the ogs do. If I'm paying 240 I want an exact shoe like the original. To each their own though I'm not hatin.
+Manny Fontenette YES !!! I feel the same. I've never owned or held a pair of 99's, 89's but the 2016 pair definitely looks and feel better as far as materials go. The 2012 pair was what made me start buying Jordan Brand and it was the shit back then. Can't even look at those anymore without thinking they look bootleg. More like beaters now. Worst part is I bought a pair for 325 in 2013 that is still DS. Guess its going to have to stay that way for display in my closet. Salaam !
They've just got to the point where they're too unaffordable for me. Seems almost every year the price goes up $5-10. Not too mention if you don't have a good relationship with the footlocker, finish line employees in my area and pay them extra you're not getting your hands on them, its a real shame
They are suppose to be releasing the 88 3's again this year for Memorial weekend per @Kustoo
i chose the 30 instead of these. mainly because i started watching when MJ was already wearing the V AND i think the $220 retail is ridiculous because they use the same leather they used on the alternate 89 which is mostly synthetic just like the Maroon VI. only other shoe releasing this year that i'm truly need is the blk/red XIIs.
You’re not paying for the materials, you’re paying for the name
yo my pair has a little splatter behind the back tab. is it jordan brand quality control? or is it fake. cuz othr than that the shoe is legit
Hey I'm looking to sell mine how much will you think the price will rise in these???
will these crack easy? most of my 4s did
That's exactly how J's with the "jumpman" in place of what is supposed to be "Nike Air" feel to me... Knockoffs. Keep all retros true to form, Nike!!!
I camped 10 hours for these. And in the US, they are so available! Damn it! At least it wasn't macdonalds leather haha
I will never buy a 3 4 or 5 without it having Nike air on back.
sorstudios Facts In 3 4 You Can Get Them Jumpman Tabs Replace Into Nike Air On OG Colorways That’s What I Did To 2012 IV Fire Red
Nowadays the players that were signed with companies like Nike are making performance sneakers. Unless you play basketball every day you need good looking casual sneakers. That's why us younger sneaker heads wear Jordans. We also look to people like you who set the bar on sneaker fashion.
I would like the jumpman a lot more if AIR was below the jumpman
I just payed 275 au for a pair of dead stock in box 2012 Jordan 4 white cement next for me are the bred 4s
McDonald's quality hahaha
+King Jeff (KD35) lol, been using that term for years now haha
Apparently people say the 2016 quality is not that good my pair is amazing with super soft leather but the pair i got to sell had worse leather
Dope vid Hes! I just made a video on the 2016s and they're straight fiiiiire!!!
Cement 4s…all time classic Jordan.
Honestly I just got them since I like the look of them
he said the 2016 WC4 makes the 2012 pair look like replicas😂😂😂
Exactly
Best sneaker of all time
I kind of like the jumpman on the back better
I never did mind the jumpman personally either
+Hes Kicks especially to save 30 dollars
Isn't the quality on those two 3s the same?
What's the quality difference on the 3's???
the speckles is bit too much in my opinion. gladly sold mine
im a hypebeast but i still copped because its soo dope. how can anyone pass on these.
First man I really like your sig classic game and probably one of the best ever. I did pass on these like a few handful of people did as well. 240 is just too much for a retro 4. The only way I'm paying that much is for a retro 11 because it is more durable and will last a lot longer.
+P4p775 $240 dam. See I always pay under retail. I paid $178 for these
+Alex Diaz damn what do you have a plug or get really great discounts for being a big spender from these retailers? I mean I would really cop if these were one of my grails, but like heskicks he didn't even double up cause of that price tag. I'd rather spend it on XIs .
+P4p775 go on eBay. Sometimes you find gift cards around $200 for $170. It's crazy good
+Alex Diaz naw no point of that. But I get what you mean you could save an extra 30$ on release day. Might as well try to get a air on a winning bid for retail like I did.
The 2012 lookin like the GS pair lmaoooooo
Sux can't wear these til 2019 ... Played outtttt
Soooo truuu
Lol I had a vid on that topic actually
You have it posted or you squashed it? ... It's a double edge sword , people complained to make more make more so everyone and their mother gets the shoes...but now they are unwearable because 3 dudes in the room got the same heat lol
Looks like a replica because of the specks? No, the specks on the 2012's look a lot more like the OG 4s than the 2016s do. Of all the problems with the 2012s, the specks are not one of them. Back in 2012-2013 Nike was building these shoes more like toys or collector's items than wearable shoes.
ima wear them like 1 time n put it away. I hate wearing the same shoe as someone else
Love the lV's and especially the close to the original treatment, but I am never dropping $220 plus tax, vote with your wallet.
Price is tough but u gotta pay to play nowadays lol
I did the same. I'm on a budget. Lol 240 no way I'm waiting for the next XIs to release this holiday.
P4p775 Good decision.
+kicksreason yeah bro that's the only shoe I will be dropping that much on. These 4s don't even have the shape or the cushioning like 99 or og. Well I guess air Jordan's bank account got remastered again.
Yeah you know how it goes.
Don't you youtubers realize that if you take into consideration of inflation it's not that much more. Why don't you RUclips reviewers ever make that point??
Can I please buy these off you for retail? I was gonna cop these as my first Jordan that isn't a 1. but I couldn't. ill pay shipping.
or if you have other 4s or 5s for sale and bring us some more outlet videos 😃
+Zeiad Elkhatib I have a size 11 pair if you want them for retail and shipping.
+Edris Hashemyar I'm sorry man I'm a size 10
+Zeiad Elkhatib I Have these A Size 10 And Bred 11s
+NOT A RANDOM How much ?
If anyone has a pair of the 2016's in a size 12 that wants to trade for some SBB's that are pads, you add. LMK
If you don't have a shoe connection you won't be able to buy any hyped shoe for retail.
Unlace a ds Jordan 4. The lace lengths are uneven. Jordan brand messing with my mind
Cement 4 with nike has history, those ugly ovo are a waste of money
ovo's are ragedy garbage trash lol
People be complaining about a $60 price jump?! If you can't spend $60 more on a pair of jays then you shouldn't even be buying Jordan's. So I suggest stop whining and go earn $60 some how.
Exactly, extra $60 is fine for me
Apparently you don't care about quality products pal. If I'm paying 240 for a pair of remastered shoes that should be even with the original silhouette you don't think I should get what I paid for??
+P4p775 I'm not saying about a price jump without any quality increase. I'm talking about the community kept on telling Jordan brand to up the quality. See what I'm saying? Look $160 "McDonalds quality" now $220 OG feel, the plush leather, and true to form. So what i'm saying is that people were whining for better quality but aren't willing to pay the price.
+Jasson Zambrano no these don't have the cushioning or the shape the OGs or 99s had, more
Like an 80 dollar increase after taxes. People are complaining cause that's steep price compared to just last year. That's why they're called "remastered" I expected to get OG everything.
they toke the Nike off to make jordan brand stand away from Nike.what the big deal.i got the 30's
I wish JB would've done this great executing the 2019 black cement 4 release. I doubled up on the 2016 white cements and the price just didn't matter to me because the white cement 4 is the best Air Jordan of all time!
The McDonald's leather never looked good. I prefer the creases.
No one has ever liked or replied to any one of my RUclips comments :(
Thx
hey
"Super GR" and I still couldn't cop haha
I find it hilarious that people find the simple design of the Cement 4's fire and call the Jordan XXX ugly!
The Jordan XXX is definitely one of my favorite Jordans by far!
DeNzOO7 30’s = 👎
40 years ago :O
What does super flawless mean?
Google it
If you dont get what it means then you are prob new to shoes.
So for example, someones skin is flawless (no wrinkles, no pimples, smooth, perfect all around.) that will go the same for shoes. No wrinkles, its smooth, looks very clean.
+Micah Balmores "super flawless" idiot...it's either flawless or not
real talk micheal jordan really to give a fuck who cops his shoes sad thing i still buy and collect
are these still avail
+Matthew Drake no
check description
Sold out
Simple. No nike air on the back then not Jordan's. They are replicas. Even if made and endorses by Nike and MJ they are not real Jordan's. Sick of people telling me they have RE released original jordan I , II , III and I see them with the jump man on the back I laugh. Not real jordans
Nike Air's please...uh huh, thanks :)
I don’t a damn about the leather just wear the damn things.stop putting shoes in tupper ware and rock those things if not give them to a kid who doesn’t have them .
Quality is still not good the Columbia and Oreo 4s have better quality
The leather is not as soft on either of them pairs
Tumbled leather on those tho
Why tf do people acc believe that these are leather !
Why's are they big guys ?
Do you even wear your shoes Hes? I'll take em off your hands and use them for what they're made for lol
Copped for £70
mcdonald's quality hahaha
hey Lieutenant Dan loosen up those kicks,jk hes
