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 😁

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!

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!
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🙌🏽

Our pleasure!
Imagine if we got the same tooling for this to the reimagined bred 4s, that would've been even better!
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.
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!

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.

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!
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.
These are so fire I need em 😩 and dope to see rose anvil getting some recognition 👍🏼
Hers another $300+shoe that I will never be able to attain also I skate in all types of shoes I even skateboard in flip flops
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!

@@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
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.
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!
If I could afford, then I would buy one to stock and one to rock! You are the best channel out there for this KZread genre. 🎉
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.
Hell yeah Chris tell them resellers where they can go!! Keep up with the dope vids man 🔥🔥🔥
I always appreciate my mans skate knowledge. On point
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.

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 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.
I've been waiting for this review especially about the quality of the leather and other materials! Thank you!
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!!!!
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
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!!!!!!!
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
These are CRAZY, hopefully able to cop this weekend
Hope I can grab a pair. Awesome review as always 🔥🔥🔥
I haven't been excited for a long time, but man, these Jordan 4 SB's look sick af! 😍 🔥
I love your knowledge in shoes and skateboarding
One of the best shoes ever. Thanks for the review 🤙
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!
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
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.
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
These look amazing. I have been really looking forward to them coming out. I just hope I can get a pair 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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
Love your knowledge for sneakers 👍
100% cop for me. Three words I love to hear from Chris, “damn near perfect!” 🔥
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 ✌🏻
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
You get more than a review on your videos; a bit of history lesson too which is great!

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
@WearTesters
Жыл бұрын
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.
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.
Saw this guy in a documentary the other day . AND 1 documentary.. awesome that you were recognized man !
Great review like always, these look really nice 👌🏼🔥
Great content as always! My go to for new release info. LOVE these so much I paid that resale price too lol ouch…anyways, excited to get these in and will be rocking these until I wear a hole through the toebox lol Now we need a new Military Blue 4, Jordan Brand!
White or off-white, bit of gum outsole showing, colored accents and some kind of very light neutral tone to finish it off is a great formula As for the rubber suggestion, I think a lot if not most skaters do still prefer suede there, unless it's maybe some really strong AND grippy rubber, but I also would love the look of rubber, especially if it's more matte than the surrounding green bits. I wanna see more Chucks/Nizza/sk8-hi MTE 2 rubber toes around too, on that note. I'm kinda surprised we don't have regular sk8-hi's with it, even oldskools would be cool.
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
I really like these a must cop Great detailed review guys
Awesome review, these look amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
Great history lesson! Trying to cop these for a friend.
That sloped slimmer toebox makes these 4's look way better.

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

I had all the Jordan/ Nike SB shoes you mentioned in this video except the Koston x Jordan pairs, Chris. Resellers and hypebeasts to blame. Easily the best looking is the Jordan 1 phat and probably the Koston x Jordan 1, and least is the Flipsyde. Function wise, the P-Rod 9 Elite x Jordan is the best for skating among them all seeing as it had podded Zoom bags, and was slim enough to properly feel the board and had decent cushion to not feel sore after. I’m not sure if they were Met bags but cushion-wise they were the best amongst all the Jordan x SB sneakers. The Flipsyde joints were quite weird on the foot to skate since they didn’t have the usual low cut silhouette and cut up the back of your ankles because of the thick heel tab but man did the soles on ‘em last for a long time. Brings back a lot of memories from ‘09 when I only just started collecting Jordans when I switched from AF1s and RBX x G Unit shoes. 😂
Literally the best shoetube channel on the platform.
These are great. The colors used really compliment each other
Awesome video as always

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
Great video as always! I don't want to be a prisoner of the moment and the last thing I should do is buy yet another Jordan IV, but these feel like a must have.
Great review !
Been lucky on Snkrs lately but missed on the reimagined 3's so crossing my fingers for these.
I used to skate in Jordan 4s back in the day. To me this is the ultimate collab.
I've decided to make these my resell pick-up this year
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.
Right on time, just got EA on these!! 🙏
Definitely a half-assed skateboarding shoe, if I was actually getting these for skateboarding I’d be a little disappointed but nonetheless they look great.
Always making knowledge born appreciate the history lesson, I want these but if I don’t hit I won’t shed a tear. Great video as always.
When you said “These are damn near perfect” I could only hear Stallone as Judge Dredd saying “I knew you’d say that” lol😅. Very very dope and clean shoe . Definitely a cop. Great review as always 👑🏆
