Just got mine today and man, they look so much better in hand than the pictures. The leather is nice compared to what we’ve been getting. It’s a clean shoe.
Like Chris has said many times who's over at Jordan brand working on some of these retros they love and care for the history of the brand... And a release like this one shows it. I just love how this also has the metallic Jordan 1 feel too
Love the historical knowledge about Jordan Brand shared in this video - one of the things that sets you guys apart from other sneaker channels. Great video :)
I love them. Super clean colorway with a nice, dark green. The little sparkle they added was a dope touch and sets that color off nicely. The J4 is my all time favorite silhouette so these are a must for the collection. Love the matching box too.
Best review on these I’ve seen , others just talk about the shoe , not the history behind the oxidized color . Great review talking about the Jordan 14
YEY! THEY CHOSE MY QUESTION! Thank you for that answer, Jodi! :D I'll never get tired of 4's! Best looking Jordan from the retro line imo. As long as they build them right.
These are A1. I’m glad people are sleeping on them because I stand out wearing them. materials construction and comfort are above average almost a premium feel. I’ve always thought the 4’s looked and felt like a kids shoe but these feel and look grown with the attention to detail.
🔥👍🏼. The oxidized green Air Jordan 14 has a special place in my heart. This is a nice homage to that beautiful cw. Black lace swap would make these 4’s look even more 🔥👍🏼. The letter I’d get rid of is Z. It’s basically a rotated N. 🙃🤷🏻♂️
I would give up the letter X even though it’s a cool looking letter. Reason is most of the x sounds can be replaced, so fox could become focks and xylophone could become zylophone. So the general sounds could be preserved even with its removal even though the words will be spelled weird
They definitely remind me of the Columbia’s w netting , just oxidized green version very clean. I agree I prefer the netting but that’s the beautiful thing about the Columbia my 215s are still and I wear them often they’re still sparkling white .
1: Change the pre-yellowed midsole and the going yellow netting to the gray on the toe. 2: K, it's just a takedown model of C. 3: Chris and Odie with another awesome video.
i feel like the same reason they put blue dye in detergent is the same reason Nike puts the hint of blue in the whites, to make the illusion that when the shoe ages all the yellows still appear white because of the blue tint
Question of the day: Would you rather wear one sneaker model but unlimited colourways for the rest of your life or one colourway but unlimited sneaker models?
@2:01 Hey Chris! I totally agree with your point, but also wanted to add these Air Jordan 6 black and whites are the “ Reverse Oreos “ the 2010 Oreos had the Carmine Blocking with Black and white.. I think they might be based off that instead of the oreo 4’s.. but would love to still see that in 6’a form also
They are absolutely GORGEOUS in hand! Im glad they were getting hate earlier bc I was able to grab a pair. The subtlety of the color hints and attention to detail you mentioned made it an easy cop for me! So wait... In order to save the world we're goin with A*4s now? 🤔🤔
Just bought a pair 5 minutes ago. Love that the heal tab is leather cause sometimes when I wear J4s with shorts and cohort socks and I'm driving the plastic tab digs into my Achilles tendon.
Jodie makes an excellent point with eliminating “J.” The Roman alphabet didn’t have it or a W. I believe two Vs or Us were used to create the W sound (hence the term “double V” in French, and “double U” in English). Still, W has a lot of use, Hs are silent at times, so are Js, and C and K have similar sounds. As such, I contemplated eliminating the “K”, which is my letter strangely enough, as it is very repetitive. However, upon deeper thought, I settled on X. There simply isn’t enough use for this letter and the others have valuable uses throughout.
I really like these. We got these in at work and I like the metallic "nets" and even the partially aged midsole. That forest green hit with metallic is super clean to me. I know soft leather doesn't always mean the best quality but it different to touch. If I wasn't moving, I'd def grab these!
Thank you!!! I been sayin that. I sold my j4 white oreos bc i saw them on foot shortly after they came out and the netting was super yellowed already and it looked horrible. Once i saw how they aged horribly i sold for some profit while the prices were crazy high. But that green gunna make all the difference, also with the lil bit of aged midsole.
The best part about these shoes is Philadelphia Eagles fans finally have found a shoe that matches our “ Midnight Green”even down to the metallic just like our helmets, !!!!! These are so fire!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video as always! These are fantastic and realize their concept pretty much perfectly, but I'm sitting it out unless they stick around and get discounted. Editing the J into that Avatar clip got a good laugh out of me 😂 I was going to say Z could go if the world was in peril, but the thought behind picking J was so persuasive that I too will copy that lol.
I definitely agree with Chris they need to keep doing the sneakers well being 45 it's what made me start buying more of the Jordan 1's ,4's and 6's 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Air Jordan 14 "Oxidized Green" holds a special place in the history of the Jordan Brand. Released in 1999, the sneaker was designed by Tinker Hatfield, who drew inspiration from Michael Jordan's love for luxury sports cars. The Air Jordan 14, in particular, took design cues from Jordan’s Ferrari 550 Maranello, featuring elements like the Jumpman shield logo that mimics a Ferrari emblem, and the sleek, aerodynamic lines that reflect the car’s profile. The Oxidized Green colorway is relatively understated compared to some of the more vibrant colorways in the Jordan line. The combination of white leather, black accents, and the subtle Oxidized Green on the midsole and heel provided a clean, versatile look. This colorway wasn’t as widely celebrated at its release as some other Jordan models, but it has since become appreciated by sneaker enthusiasts for its simplicity and the story behind its design. The Air Jordan 14 was the last sneaker Michael Jordan wore as a Chicago Bull during the 1998 NBA Finals, often remembered for "The Last Shot" against the Utah Jazz. While that shot was made in a different colorway, the history surrounding the Air Jordan 14 adds to the significance of the Oxidized Green version. The Air Jordan 14 "Oxidized Green" didn't see a retro release until 2016, when it was brought back as part of Jordan Brand's efforts to reissue classic colorways with improved materials and craftsmanship. Its re-release was met with enthusiasm from those who appreciate its place in Jordan's storied career and the brand's legacy.
Within the last six months, I've gone from owning zero pairs of Air Jordan 4s to two pairs (Bred Reimagined and Military Blue), and this one's gonna be my third. This is an amazing colorway. So wearable, so clean. I think these are a sleeper pair and I hope everyone else thinks so too so that they're easier to cop. And to answer the question, I'd eliminate Q. We've been getting around that letter just fine with words like "acute" and "cue" for a long time, we'll be alright.
Won mine from SNS on may 24th. Didnt realize how early i got em. lol never really win shxt from them. Beautiful shoe in hand. Good luck to those going for them
Nitpicky but: I like the plastic wings over the leather but I do like the leather back tab. The J4 Royalty had that build combo and it was awesome! Love the metallic look on these.
I just learned that the AJ4 that Bug Out wore in Do the right thing was a sample n had perforation holes at the bottom of the tongue instead of net all the way down. They were samples before the OG dropped
I'd eliminate the letter L so people would have to come up with something else to give people when they beat them in something. Also I'd increase the amount of words starting with the letter X. Just through the letter infront of anything and say its silent to increase its letter usage.
X would be the easiest because the sound it makes can easily be replaced by a combination of two other letters or Z for the few words where X is at the start of the word. That's more thought than I should have really put into it but here we are 🤣 The shoes are cool too 😆
I cant agree that these came from the 14s. These are an old custom colorway of the 04 classic greens thru & thru. The release dates are almost exactly 20years apart too. I remember wanting to do this to my old pair years ago (like early 2010s) where i saw an ig post of these. A few people dubbed em the money greens. If nike dropped these 1st instead of the sb 4s last year, like swapped the releases, id pick them up. While i dont fw the pre aging on these, that yellow is how the classic greens age, minus the paint chipping
🔥 You can tell a real sneaker connoisseur from a hype-beast who collects only hyped stuff. Them other shoe-tubers are corny and all regurgitate the same generic info; with the same sponsor’s & endorsements.
Totally forgot about the the 14's until you pointed it out Idk if it would hit, but if they replaced the Jumpman on the heel tab with the Ferrari Jumpman insignia from the 14's I think it would be a cool call back
I wore the crap outta those oxidized 14’s back in the day. And come to think of it. The midsole did yellow after time and this may be the reason for that hit of sail on the midsole of these 4’s 🤔
Won the early SNS release of these and I love them. Reminds me of the metallic J4s they released a few years back. I think they missed out by not calling these the Jordan 4 Jade.
Damn!! I HATE how you do reviews so well you convince me to buy a shoe I was going to skip!! I both love it and hate it here!! So excellent
Ikr 😂 that’s why I picked up my pair because i wasn’t going to until night wing gave his opinion. Lol
Just got mine today and man, they look so much better in hand than the pictures. The leather is nice compared to what we’ve been getting. It’s a clean shoe.
How they not even released yet 😭
Like Chris has said many times who's over at Jordan brand working on some of these retros they love and care for the history of the brand... And a release like this one shows it. I just love how this also has the metallic Jordan 1 feel too

watched other reviews of this elsewhere and noone brought up the stuff you did, great job as always
I love them. Super clean colorway with a nice, dark green. The little sparkle they added was a dope touch and sets that color off nicely. The J4 is my all time favorite silhouette so these are a must for the collection. Love the matching box too.
I like how no two videos ever feel the same or repetitive.
We try 😊
i was waiting for you to do these sleepers. i'm loving the consensus on these being quality and great looking.
Best review on these I’ve seen , others just talk about the shoe , not the history behind the oxidized color . Great review talking about the Jordan 14
YEY! THEY CHOSE MY QUESTION!
Thank you for that answer, Jodi! :D
I'll never get tired of 4's! Best looking Jordan from the retro line imo. As long as they build them right.
Will never not watch this guys video before buying a shoe just got mine today man you’re awesome!
Glad you like them!
One of the best releases of the year and I got mine early for below retail. Crazy times.
How?
How?
@@esmeraldasarabia278 They’re below retail on StockX. With tax, shipping, and fees I paid $11 more than retail at $215 with free shipping.
Color me excited. Quality materials over everything
I got these shoes. Didn’t really wear em much. But the more i do. The more I like them. So comfy. Leather is solid quality
LMFAO Nahhh he really said ion gaf about this😂🔥🔥
I LIKED THAT HAHA 🤣 HIS GIRL TOTALLY SAT THERE AND GAVE IT HER ALL 👉🏽💯🫠
Another great looking AJ4👍🏻
Been waiting for this vid

Elon would have to change the name back to Twitter 😂
The quality on this shoe is awesome! The tumbled leather is great! Definitely have to double up especially if I can get them below retail
copped these. love them!
Had to get a pair, one of my most anticipated pick up this year!
These are super clean! Definitely copped for $200 shipped 👊🏾
They definitely remind me of the Columbia’s w netting , just oxidized green version very clean.

I'd probably pick sb dunks unlimited colorways
intresting insights bro!
you are my fav chanel to watch after working

We went over the product description for the shoe per Nikes own words in that review. You may have missed it.
These look super clean, way better than the industrial blues imo
Love these, grabbed them early and under retail 😊
Chris never misses with these reviews!💯🫡
great content as always. That question for the comments was so left field, they got to come up with better questions lol
They are absolutely GORGEOUS in hand! Im glad they were getting hate earlier bc I was able to grab a pair. The subtlety of the color hints and attention to detail you mentioned made it an easy cop for me! So wait... In order to save the world we're goin with A*4s now? 🤔🤔
As with any Jordan 4/hyped shoe, they get tons of hate initially but then they suddenly "grow" on everyone as we get closer to the release date lol
Love your reviews... Now I want theses 💯
just got mine today and its most definitely worth the buy. also they are my first jordan 4
Love the detailed review, and I think I like these more because of it.
Got mine yesterday when I say 🔥 they fire
These guys are the best. Knowledgeable and entertaining
I passed on the military blues and got these...love how the green looks when light hits it.
Just bought a pair 5 minutes ago. Love that the heal tab is leather cause sometimes when I wear J4s with shorts and cohort socks and I'm driving the plastic tab digs into my Achilles tendon.
got them in hand right now! such an underrated pair
This is one of those 4’s that will last the year and only need a wipe down. I love the materials.
Any Jordan 4's should last atleast 1 year imo
@@Will-qn3cy Frr I still be rocking my 19’ bred 4s
@Will-qn3cy yea if you wear the shoe all year I have my fire red 4s from 2020 worn 50+times and look damn near ds still

I’ve been super excited for these since I first seen them, also oxidized 14’s are my favorite 14✌🏼
They have already dropped in the U.K. and got mine yesterday. They are 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Great video!:)
The netting yellowing will match the aged sail eventually & look ok
Thank you!!! I been sayin that. I sold my j4 white oreos bc i saw them on foot shortly after they came out and the netting was super yellowed already and it looked horrible. Once i saw how they aged horribly i sold for some profit while the prices were crazy high. But that green gunna make all the difference, also with the lil bit of aged midsole.
Nice colorway and quality can’t go wrong with these.

Mine will be delivered today. I can't wait.
i just know that when the netting start yellowing it’s going to look so good on these. we need a oxidized purple 4

Awesome review once again, thanks.
The interior lining is the same material as they did on the wizards threes which I love.
The green is done so nicely. Lockdown wings and back tab in leather 🙌. Insert Jim Carey "I like it a lot" cutaway.
Another great history lesson from Professor Nighthawke! These look like a cop to me. I don't mind the sail.
Great video. Love the history behind the 👟 in connection with the 14. My favorite channel. Thank you both!
I got them, my first ever J4. They are cool ain't gonna lie
most underrated pickup of 24’ imo
Won mine from SNS on may 24th. Didnt realize how early i got em. lol never really win shxt from them. Beautiful shoe in hand. Good luck to those going for them
Mine just came in the mail today. Green my favorite color anyway. Had to grab them.
Love your reviews 🤗🤗🤗
I like these a lot. Actually like them better than the Military Blues
Nitpicky but: I like the plastic wings over the leather but I do like the leather back tab. The J4 Royalty had that build combo and it was awesome! Love the metallic look on these.
Super clean shoe. They did a really good job on this colorway.
X
Just copped this at JD for $120! Great time to be a sneakerhead!!!!
Just bought these on the Nike App for $119.70! Absolutely excited for these to arrive 😁
I'm getting rid of z. It can be replaced with S, X, or XY in the majority of cases so we wouldn't even miss it.
I just learned that the AJ4 that Bug Out wore in Do the right thing was a sample n had perforation holes at the bottom of the tongue instead of net all the way down. They were samples before the OG dropped
I love the history of the shoe model cause I didn’t know some of things that happen after 1999.
I have mine on now and they feel amazing 👏
I still like the Air Jordan 4 Oreo leather panels than the nettings. That's just my preference.
These are fire. But the Jordan 3 Retro SP Nina Chanel Abney are coming out on the 20th, and this economy Iol
I'd eliminate the letter L so people would have to come up with something else to give people when they beat them in something. Also I'd increase the amount of words starting with the letter X. Just through the letter infront of anything and say its silent to increase its letter usage.
The oxidized 14s looked black when I had them. One of my favorites of all time
Idk what it is, but I’m such a sucker for the leather wings and heel tab on 4s.
My pair of these is on the way. I grabbed these for under retail and paid a little less than I would have buying them from SNKRS.
Stock x ?
The new cuts are way better , the 4s are back. I’m waiting on the 5s now.
Grey mudgaurd off, it resembles the SB collbaoration from some time ago.
X would be the easiest because the sound it makes can easily be replaced by a combination of two other letters or Z for the few words where X is at the start of the word. That's more thought than I should have really put into it but here we are 🤣 The shoes are cool too 😆

🔥 You can tell a real sneaker connoisseur from a hype-beast who collects only hyped stuff. Them other shoe-tubers are corny and all regurgitate the same generic info; with the same sponsor’s & endorsements.
the only thing that keeps me from getting more 3s and 4s is the midsole paint cracking; feels like a handful of wears and the chipping starts 🙃
U either buying reps or need to lose weight 😂
Already ordered. I love green
The leather backtab is a major plus for me, might pick these up when the price drops a bit.
These are Beautiful!
this look way better than i expected
Leather wings, metallic hits, buttery leather, I'm in!!
I had the 14s oxidized one of my favorite shoes wore them all the way down.
Totally forgot about the the 14's until you pointed it out
Idk if it would hit, but if they replaced the Jumpman on the heel tab with the Ferrari Jumpman insignia from the 14's I think it would be a cool call back
