2012 will be another big year for the Air Jordan Retro, with the Air Jordan IV and X already confirmed for Spring season releases. There is without a doubt that the Air Jordan IV White/Cement Grey (or in this case, the updated ‘Tech Grey’) will be one of the most sought after Air Jordan Retro releases over the last decade, considering this colorway of the IV hasn’t seen the light of day since 1999. Here we have a video review of a sample pair of the Air Jordan IV White/Grey, so keep in mind that the released version may not be what you see here; the speckles on the midsole, ‘wings’, and heel-tab are either muted down or completely absent – a detail that should rile up a few comments from our readers and Jordan fans worldwide. Check out some additional video stills as well as the complete video below and stick with Sneaker News for more information as it drops. via MN.

Know these are just early samples, but makes you really appreciate the 1999's.
August 9th, 2011 at 1:08 pm
One of my favorite IVs hope they include the retro tag with the shoe.
August 9th, 2011 at 1:08 pm

August 9th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Awwww the cement isnt true to the OG, oh well, what can we do. So far, its samples. will they switch to the original as time goes?
August 9th, 2011 at 1:21 pm

August 9th, 2011 at 1:24 pm

August 9th, 2011 at 1:25 pm

August 9th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Say what you want, but I'm skippin the concords for the black/cement III's, these, and playoff XII's
August 9th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
2012 can't come any sooner been dying for these.
August 9th, 2011 at 1:31 pm
Dude said "Why it feel like plastic…?" LOL. Dude it the Magic jersey got no clue what "premium" or real leather is…
My question is, if you wanna know what the IV should look like all you gotta do is google that $h!t. There's like a million images of it on the web, JB don't got computers over there?
"Fresh out the womb" my @s$
August 9th, 2011 at 1:32 pm
Still one of my favorites cements spots or not, I'm still getting a pair
August 9th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
click straight to 2:40 for the 4s
August 9th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
shape sucks speckles are way off. NO DEAL
And just like the military blues and mars the leather will be trash
August 9th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
These are heat, i would buy them but i can barely afford to buy lunch for myself and my friends. I'm a failure, college drop out failure.
August 9th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
these will be my new Grails
August 9th, 2011 at 1:56 pm
i will be pissed if jb dont fix that cement. where are the black speckles!
August 9th, 2011 at 1:58 pm
I usually don't like complaining, but I hope THIS pair stays samples.
August 9th, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Dats okay bro, success is over rated.
August 9th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
a 2011 shoe???????? ok
August 9th, 2011 at 2:21 pm
these are SAMPLES, aint the finished product lol yall trippin too fast with that shit
August 9th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Co-sign..Looking nothing like the 99..Those grey dots are a waste…..
August 9th, 2011 at 2:30 pm
hell yeah thats easy to fix if you don't like this possible look they just need to keep that outsole the same the original outsole scheme is better
August 9th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Feb might b a cold ass month, but these are DEFINATELY SIZZLIN
August 9th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Will be copped 4 sure when they drop, unless they keep em like this, which i'm sure they won't.
August 9th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
learn how to use that camera bra
August 9th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
hey man, if your such a bawse…and wanna brag about getting shoes early, how bout you invest in a decent camera
August 9th, 2011 at 3:08 pm
I feel disrespected that this IDIOT is touching this shoe/has the first scoop on the sample
August 9th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
I'll pass if it don't have black specs. That's like releasing blk/cements with no cracks in the cement print
August 9th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
More like 2012 but ok
August 9th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
i hope these are just samples nd they change em, theres too much grey all the way on the bottom of the shoe…they still clean tho
August 9th, 2011 at 3:55 pm
those are not looking too good! but we shall see final mark up..right now on the fence. leaning toward the breds only for the iv!
August 9th, 2011 at 4:02 pm
Not liking the two tone grey/black combo or the non black specks on the cement. If this turn out to be another varsity red/infrared VI situation I wouldn't be suprised.
August 9th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
The design is the same, be happy it's not a 4.0
August 9th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
cant wait until february 2 get 2 pairs for me
August 9th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
im still coppin
August 9th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
PLEASE HAVE THE SPECKLED , ILL STILL COP BUT THE SPECKLE MAKES IT LOOK BETTER IMO
August 9th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
I'm honestly not trying to make a racist comment or anything, but I noticed on a lot of sneaker reviews. That many black people say Semen instead of cement.
August 9th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
I think I speak for everyone on this comment. The speckles HAVE TO be there.
August 9th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
they most likely will come in a similar box like the 3s
August 9th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
horrible focus on the cameraguy's part…
August 9th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Im gonna attempt to follow that tutorial of how to make your own logo that was posted a while ago. Hopefully i dont ruin them :\
August 9th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
i will def cop these joints for such…
August 9th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
first things first,
the OG's nor the 99's had "leather" on them, never. secondly, how does JB screw up black specs with purple specs? lastly, how the fuck you gonna change the damn sole color?
Hope these are the true meaning of "sample", or else my cash will go down somewhere else.
August 9th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
AMEN! bottom sole color disappoints me the most.
August 9th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
is the shape like it was from 1999 ?
August 9th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
aw damn the speckles really make this shoe…
August 9th, 2011 at 11:55 pm
And for us!
August 10th, 2011 at 1:18 am
i pray that they wont take the black speckles away from us… they wouldn't really do that? itd look like a fucking fake with out them
August 10th, 2011 at 1:36 am
Just drop em…fuck all the minor issues.
August 10th, 2011 at 3:35 am
lol yall wack for showing this! no i cant wait till next yr smh, can we get thru this yr first hah
August 10th, 2011 at 7:43 am
go buy a pair of fakes, def. closer to the '99 than these…
August 10th, 2011 at 8:47 am
AGREED!
August 10th, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Waiting for someone to complain about the official color being "Tech Grey" instead of Cemenet Grey"
August 11th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
shape is proper, but the missing speckles and the missing black on the out sole disappoints me
August 13th, 2011 at 12:23 am
They used a darker grey, the speckles are still the same it just doesn't show due to the contrast of the grey. I really hope these stay a sample and they STAY TRUE and return TO THE OG'S! These have been a long time coming, and holy grail for all!
August 13th, 2011 at 8:58 am
Exactly. They were never leather. And I guess it's cheaper to produce, but I wish they went back to the rubber dipped netting, rather than the plastic stuff they use now for the side vents.
