It’s been quite a day for Sneaker News and the Air Jordan. We’ve already confirmed and showed you a sample of the Air Jordan X Chicago, brought you a look at a nubuck sample of the Air Jordan III Black/Cement, and confirmed the Air Jordan IV as the next Doernbecher Freestyle Air Jordan shoe. To cap off an exciting day, here’s a look at a sample of the Air Jordan IV in the White/Cement colorway, slated for an early 2012 release. This sample version features grey speckling on the midsole instead of the original black seen in the ’89 original and ’99 Retro. Sources say that the release version will also featured the black speckling, but it’s interesting to see these in another light, is it not? Check out the extra shot after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Air Jordan updates as they develop. via yotecity.

quality looks kinda bad
June 14th, 2011 at 9:47 pm
Let the hype begin!!
June 14th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
wow im disappointed
June 14th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
thank goodness this was only a sample..
June 14th, 2011 at 9:50 pm
cant wait
June 14th, 2011 at 9:51 pm
Wow !!! I'm not really liking the cement pattern … I guess i need to wait for better pics. Still loving them tho
June 14th, 2011 at 9:52 pm
the good: retroing a classic shoe
the bad: cheap looking leather
the solution: copping that good old pair of og cement 4s lol
June 14th, 2011 at 9:52 pm
damnn that leasther looks cheap! =[ hope this stays a sample and JB steps it up a little bit
June 14th, 2011 at 9:54 pm
Glad these are samples, because I'm pretty sure the cement spots should be black.
June 14th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
What is up with the cement color and the spekles . ?
June 14th, 2011 at 9:58 pm
Tough..but I would prefer the breds
June 14th, 2011 at 9:58 pm
leather looks shiny like the cement 3's
June 14th, 2011 at 9:59 pm
I'm in awe. That's all I can say. Chicago X, then this! Did somebody finally had the balls to fire Gentry?
June 14th, 2011 at 10:00 pm
First Chicago Xs And Now White Cement IVs
Big Year For Sneakerheads .
June 14th, 2011 at 10:00 pm
I am so excited for this shoe (well not that sample, but the real one)…already counting down.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:00 pm
They don't look as nice without the black speckles.
Hmm, I REALLY hope the go with the OG and these remain samples.
(Side-note: Whats the deal with all these samples of OG classics getting ruined today? First NuBuck Blk/Cements and now this.)
June 14th, 2011 at 10:00 pm
I like that they r showing us the different midsole, but they always need 2 stay as og as possible on these retros. Cant Wait for these!!!
June 14th, 2011 at 10:01 pm
Altered versions of shoes like these and the nubuck III's are cool to have just cuz there rare and different but they shud never pass the sample stage.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:01 pm
Copped!
June 14th, 2011 at 10:02 pm
Wow the cement isnt even good quality:/ Oh well imma still cop
June 14th, 2011 at 10:03 pm
Oh My! Please let these be a VERY EARLY SAMPLE. Quality on these looks horrible
June 14th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
No its not fucking interesting it all, its awfulk, a disgrace to these beauties, i have a pair from 99s and to see this makes me sick. Nubuck 3s and this type of cement print have all been seen at my local gas station sold by "billy kickz" (dead serious)
he also has some pink and orange jordan 11s for sale, are you gonna make that next JB??!!
why the fuck would this even cross their minds? this is an awful idea. it is horrible. NO NO NO.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:05 pm
The white/cement colorway just goes so hard. One of my favorite colorways for 3s and 4s.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:05 pm
Hope JB makes the speckles darker. You can barely even see em.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
I hate getting teased like this.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
dope shoe overall, one of my favorites but i'm hoping the sample is getting more touch up work.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:11 pm
o boy here we go…
June 14th, 2011 at 10:14 pm
weak sauce. but they will obviously be better. the threes this year are quite good. these wont fail.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Wtf no black speckles jb always fucking up a classic this better not be the finished product
June 14th, 2011 at 10:16 pm
i hope the quality is better.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:21 pm
i really wish jordan would put better quality on this
June 14th, 2011 at 10:29 pm
leather looks crappy
June 14th, 2011 at 10:30 pm
Wow talk about a HUGE day
June 14th, 2011 at 10:33 pm
They can't be the samples they look so…. Variant-ish!!
June 14th, 2011 at 10:33 pm
I love the fours, my favorite. Wish they would give the people what they want better material and nike on the back. If the material was barter I wouldnt mine.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:33 pm
must cop but I hope the speckling is black and not like the pics
June 14th, 2011 at 10:34 pm
NEW COLOR-BLOCKING FTW #NOT #FAIL how can JB eff the cement 4s this much
June 14th, 2011 at 10:37 pm
Uh OH…..Where the hell is the splatter marks? They better not leave them that slightly darker grey.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:38 pm
i have to see the whole thing in order to decide whether to cop or not
June 14th, 2011 at 10:42 pm
looks good but can he take better pics?
June 14th, 2011 at 10:44 pm
first !, the first time i actually got first, but anyways i cant wait for these to droop speckles or not
June 14th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
this sample wack. keep it true to the OG and that $150 commin ya way JB
June 14th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
plz no grey specks looks bad
June 14th, 2011 at 10:48 pm
They're trying to make us mad.
June 14th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
the leather looks bad…..but it is a sample…let's hop JB puts the same amount of quality in this they they put in the cement 3s
June 14th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
Just a sample so no need to trip….still hyped that these are even coming out
June 14th, 2011 at 11:11 pm
FUCK YEAAAA these and the DB 4s…. AND the total foamposite max…. 4 now im satisfied nike good job
June 14th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
Is it really? The first time you got first? Gratz……….
June 14th, 2011 at 11:28 pm
alot of these people need to type in OG cement 4s if they're not really upset. this is wayyy off from the 99s, and it looks like a fake. idc if its a sample, its retarded
June 14th, 2011 at 11:34 pm
Before reading comments I saw the shoe and thought. Quality sucks and I guess everyone agrees.
June 14th, 2011 at 11:38 pm
it's just a SAMPLE ! once these come out the quality will look better and there will actually be a cement pattern..instead of the 'shit' displayed here
June 14th, 2011 at 11:49 pm
Preach brother!
June 14th, 2011 at 11:58 pm
Well, yes, but if JB were to put better quality on J's (Retros) that would mean people would play ball in 'em; not for casual wear. I mean, do you expect me to believe that people would play basketball in some brand new FRE$H AJ's, when they're afraid of creases, scuffing 'em up, getting 'em dirty, etc?
June 15th, 2011 at 12:18 am
How has no body thumbs down this comment…
June 15th, 2011 at 12:19 am
these would look hard if the speckles were red!
June 15th, 2011 at 12:29 am
WTF!!!??
have you even seen white cement 4s why would it be red?
June 15th, 2011 at 12:31 am
The grey parts sorta look photoshopped
June 15th, 2011 at 12:32 am
kinda bad? lol
June 15th, 2011 at 12:34 am
Or black. Like they should be!
June 15th, 2011 at 12:51 am
leather looks like high quality construction paper.. hope they final result doesnt look like this.
June 15th, 2011 at 12:58 am
i hate this comment what is wrong with u people smh
June 15th, 2011 at 1:31 am
Hope they don't release them like that
June 15th, 2011 at 2:57 am
Honestly this is just a "Sample" as the description says so there's no reason for everyone to react as they are. AND, Im sure even if JB did release these. We would still copp them just because it's a classic shoe. But i pray they don't come out like this.
June 15th, 2011 at 5:40 am
It Looks So Plastic, Hopefully Since Its A Sample That Will Change.
June 15th, 2011 at 6:39 am
Epic fail.
June 15th, 2011 at 7:12 am
everybody is freaking out that these are the ones coming out. they are not! did you not read the article? its just samples. oh someone i heard about already copped the black cements for this year from a guy with hook ups and they arent freaking nubuck or whatever
June 15th, 2011 at 7:55 am
Of course the leather on this looks cheap guys. Does anyone remember the last post of this? Synthetic upper. What a rip off! If they ain't leather, I don't want them. Shame….
June 15th, 2011 at 8:31 am
i love 4's but it doesn't take much to crease them up
June 15th, 2011 at 8:59 am
If this is what the final product looks like I swear I will pass. We've all been waiting since 99 for these to come back, but these look like absolute shit. I won't spend 150 on these things. I hope JB gets it right.
June 15th, 2011 at 9:42 am
you might be the most retarded person I have never met
June 15th, 2011 at 9:44 am
Gentry made it so the shoes still have meaning because they arent gettin retroed every other year. The fours are some of his favorites so he want s them to stay preserved and keep their legacy. I dont mind waiting 10+ years, it just better be good quality..
June 15th, 2011 at 10:04 am
Anybody notice the grey outsole underneath the black? Speckles are one thing – just a shading issue, but that's a completely different colored bottom.
June 15th, 2011 at 11:27 am
So….the cement pattern looks weak as h3ll yo. the material is suspect also. if this sample is really what JB is releasing easy pass for me.
June 15th, 2011 at 11:29 am
Lol gentry is a dirt bag. If he liked 4's so much he wouldn't have made them the worst made retro in the line up. All the 4 retros after the oreo's and the 99 cements have been cardboard crap with an even worse shape. Military blue's=terrible pleather and shit shape. Mars=same shit. And retroing shoes year after year is not a bad thing at all. Keeps supply high and scares away resellers. Plus if you have to wait 10+ years all giddy like omg they are releasing again and end up getting a peice of shit then that really sucks. Adidas makes the stan smiths and superstars every year as does nike with af1's and dunks and they still "have meaning" what ever the fuck that means. A shoe with "meaning" no shit its meant to be on your foot.
June 15th, 2011 at 11:38 am
I'd buy these if JB made a solution to that stupif crumbling midsole problem..maybe they could fix that first before selling new AJ4s…
June 15th, 2011 at 12:23 pm
looks like a cardboard shoe
June 15th, 2011 at 12:24 pm
hype is when someone raves about a restaurant and then you go there and it was just okay. nobody is really raving about how good this shoe is they are just showing you pics. we all assume that the quality will be just the same as any other recent JB release. so what hype are you referring to?
June 15th, 2011 at 12:25 pm
obviously this is your first time seeing cement 4's, its ok. bless your little soul…
June 15th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Mess them up so Yall youngster get them crap so them real heads have og or the 99
June 15th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
werd, looks like a plastic model of the IVs…12 years and we get this?!!
June 15th, 2011 at 3:43 pm
the new 4s might be synthetic i know the 3s were
June 15th, 2011 at 3:50 pm
You're right Tim. That's a major aesthetic change…get it right JB! Gentry, where is the quality control??!!
June 15th, 2011 at 4:52 pm
These look terrible…. If they wanna sell em they better up that quality!
June 15th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
Jordan Retros are done for…quality is lacking and the price tags continue to climb…fuck hype
June 15th, 2011 at 6:49 pm
Call me what u like, cuz IDGAF! I'd expect some thumbs up for this investigation: http://sneakernews.com/2011/02/02/jordan-brand-po… so far the AJ IV's & X's are coming true, but can we expect more???? AJ V "Grape/Laney" Pack: http://www.sneakerfiles.com/2010/08/19/air-jordan… is just doesn't make sense quote, "… this is only a rumor, but the pack is set to release on July 2011."? Yeah, now who's the retard? Just tryin' to help sneakerheads out and try to support anything positive on this site, cuz it wasn't for me on here, that AF1 iD option would've never even happened!
June 15th, 2011 at 7:49 pm
LOOKS LIKE PLASTIC, AINT GETTIN MY MONEY FOR THESE
June 15th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
the word SAMPLES means something to ya'll.
June 15th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
why would ppl ball in j;s if the material was better?????
June 15th, 2011 at 8:48 pm
you're an idiot i dont know what to say. JORDANS ARE FOR BASKETBALL. not for casual wear trying to show off a pair that 80 other kids probably have in the mall (apart from certain pairs that are meant to be for casual wear). Dirty hypebeast… its people like you that disease the sneaker culture.
June 15th, 2011 at 8:51 pm
i see patent leather? lol between these an the "nubuck' black/cements, i dont know if i want to be a jordan enthusiist that year. bad quality all around…
June 15th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
The quality looks horrible. The leather looks like pleather and the cement speckles blend in with the grey! WTF!? Not a good look IMO, I hope they just put these out to fool us like the nubuck 3's lol.
June 16th, 2011 at 1:34 am
the cement better be like the original with black dots… not this grey on grey crap
June 16th, 2011 at 2:41 am
I have to make a hard choice, Concord 11 or Cement 4? I'm young and don't make money so don't say you got a long time to save up. I have to pick one
June 16th, 2011 at 12:28 pm
church is in session. well spoken.
June 16th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
I'm alright with the BS leather how about fixing the paint chipping problem that s&*^t bothers me !!!!!
June 16th, 2011 at 11:04 pm
Please don't ruin my favorite shoe
June 18th, 2011 at 8:21 pm
Lance Woods, Gentry is perserving profits, not for the collectors. Don't be a tool. I've been collecting since 94 by the way.
June 19th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
stfu
