This past Monday, Sneaker News showed you an upcoming Air Jordan Force Fusion IV that featured the popular Laser feature that was introduced in the earlier part of the decade. Mark Smith’s Laser Project resulted in an awe-inspiring collection of classic Nike silhouettes and soon it made it’s way onto the midfoot strap of the Air Jordan XX and then later on two limited colorways of the Air Jordan IV. This upcoming fusion adopts the Black/Varsity Red colorway and does its best to get every possible detail down, but the restrictions of the Air Force 1 midsole do not allow this Fusion to take on the black/medium grey midsole from the original version. An interesting concept in the eyes of Jordan fans and a must-have for AJF collectors, the Air Jordan Force Fusion IV Black Laser should be a hit once it drops. Check out the extra detailed shots after the jump and let us know if you think a white/red laser pair – like the original version – would be just as nice (or even better). via MS.

EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont hate the fusion idea like most people here, i just think they over do certain stuff that makes the shoe look complicated IMO. a different sole would make them look better. not bad though. i can dig it
July 29th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
The blue midsole is doo-doo.
July 29th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
IKN about this one, but just like the colorway and design.
July 29th, 2010 at 2:43 pm

Just when i thought my day couldn't get any worse. I see these horrible shitz. SMH
July 29th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
yea
July 29th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
I agree.
July 29th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
i dont get why they have to keep doing this why not just use the normal jordan 4 sole that we all like instead of making this they just charge you the same amount either way

It’s ok to not like fusions, but a lot of you dudes just sound like hypebeasts. Somebody give me a VALID reason as of to why fusions are so awful, please. These are beautiful; there is nothing wrong with fusions.
July 29th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
My personal reason, There is no purpose for them. JB should just release a retro of the Jordan that is being fused with the Air Force 1, If they have to, then use the laser colorway on the AF1 and call it the laser air force ones like they have 3M air force ones and leave the Air Jordan alone.
Next thing you know, JB is going to butcher the 7s, the 11s or whatever other number they haven't used yet, I just got a horrible thought of JB using the Space Jams or the Raptors, or even Olympics to make this hybrid. Thats going too far.
Yeah, they definitely shouldn't charge Air Jordan prices for hybrid Air Jordan/ Air Force 1s.

I don't know why the "black" sole is actually a dark blue. That's the same black sole that comes as an option on the MX iD Forces in NYC, and it's not black at all. Totally ruins the shoe.

But w/o fusions lames dudes used to cop fake OGs in wild color-ways. So i guess cheap fusions are necessary on some awful level to help squash the bootleg epidemic…
July 29th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
They are nice, i like them.
July 29th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Stop crying. If you don’t like don’t cop and move on. Besides these aren’t even targeted towards sneakerheads really. They’re for people who don’t really care about sneakers. I kinda think an AF1 in this colorway would have potential.
July 29th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
I'm not complaining, I'm not going to buy them. I'm just saying what I think about them.
Yeah J Brown, I guess it does help with people buying bootlegs, but why do these cost as much as a retro? Fusions aren't cheap, Retros are 150-175 now, which I believe should still be 120 and maybe 140 for premium Jordans in my opinion. Fusions cost 144 dollars, only 6 dollars less than regular retros. I guess if it were the real laser IVs most would be copping and it would limited pairs, quickstrike Space Jam nonsense, , but I'm not a fan of the IVs so I wouldn't get them anyway.
July 29th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Most definetly not a hypebeast but I like these fusion there are some that are horrible but these are the beat one I don’t like the choice of sole for the sneaker but I like the lasers on it
July 29th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Think about this. Maybe 500 "sneakerheads" won't like em, will complain and b!tch about how real sneakerheads won't mess with em….or maybe they won't SAY that, but that'll be the point they're making when they make the same comments as above……and just like FLiP said, 200,000 regular dudes who don't care one bit about sneakerhead crap will buy em and actually wear em alot……..so there is purpose behind making these. They'll sell.

Blue Midsole…WTF???
July 30th, 2010 at 3:10 am
meh. still not sold on fusions.
July 30th, 2010 at 9:41 am
Its indevidual taste dat counts. Fuck what other think.
July 30th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Garbage.
July 30th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Personally being a sneaker head for about 7 yeas and actually owning a pair of the laser IV’s all that hypebeast stuff goes out the window. Being a sneakerhead doesn’t depend on having all retro or OG’s its simply about looking , loving and charishing the shoes you wear. These fusions aren’t bad and I’d cop . Not 2 show off but cuz they’re nice and gives a nice taste of the originals.

Actually, these will probably be $160. I bought the red AJF IV's when they came out last year, bought them from the Nikestore cause that's the only place that had them. (Well HOH had them too), but it ended up costing me about $180 with shipping…..I hate it cause now I don't know what to buy….Flint 13's, Cool Grey 11's, or these…..what to do-what to do-what to do……

true that
August 1st, 2010 at 2:03 pm
The only thing wrong with the fusions is the sole, but thats what everyone likes about the forces. Jordan retros dont look good with a 1.5 inch sole, it just looks weird! I would love to get thse and would, but blue sole?? hmmm what! !??! how does blue go with the shoe??
August 5th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
All Fusions Are Baaaddd Meaning good!!!
