As if it wasn’t enough for Jordan Brand to hit us off with three of the four original Air Jordan III colorways last year, they brought back the classic goodness as close as you could get to having ‘NIKE AIR’ on the heels thanks to a dope new/old box featuring the Three’s signature Elephant print and a removable top. It’d be a welcome addition to all the Air Jordan Retros to see their packaging reflect one of each model’s unique characteristics (especially after the death of the Retro Cards), and the Air Jordan IV Retro ‘White Cement’ coming with a speckled and ‘Flight’-emblazoned box is a step in the right direction. They’re a perfect representation of the Four and look great with JB’s new box label, so rather than asking if the box was done well, a more relevant question might be, how many Jays should come in these kinds of boxes? Many consider the series to have peaked in the earlier years; would you want to see special boxes for all of MJ’s Chicago Bulls sneakers, or should the entire set 1-2011 come in a package reflecting the shoe’s design? Let us know when you click through to see more angles and stick with Sneaker News for more in advance of the February 18th release date. via Air-Randy

January 9th, 2012 at 3:15 pm

the shape and quality of the shoes looks like something you would see in chinatown
January 9th, 2012 at 3:20 pm

January 9th, 2012 at 3:22 pm

January 9th, 2012 at 3:24 pm
nice quality on these
January 9th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
How nice. My size too lol. Def scooping a pair next month.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
I was reading other websites and apparently it's cement/grey the colorway and not tech grey
January 9th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Thing is though, they shouldn't be a "representation of 4's" they should be 4s! As they were, same materials cuts molds logos everything should be the same if not better if theyre charging more. But hey Ho that would ho against Nikes maximum profit minimum effort buisines structure.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
Im the realest dude in the sneaker game right now! I got the most knowledge about J's! I am the god when it comes to this shit!!!! Anyone who disagrees i while bury you and your career!!
January 9th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
…….a definite purchase …..i'd like to see what a premio AJ4 or even a premio AJ6 would look like ….
January 9th, 2012 at 3:41 pm
JB definitely fixed the color and cement spots from the initial samples we seen the last few months..
it's looking really good w/ the added spots on the wing and the heel area, VERY VERY NICE!

i would rather have the box than the fucking shoes, the grey just isn't right, pass………………..
January 9th, 2012 at 4:00 pm
would rather have the box, the grey and the quality in general doesn't look white, pass………… Playoff XII's are much better
January 9th, 2012 at 4:01 pm
Damn they look like sex.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
Concord revenge!
January 9th, 2012 at 4:06 pm
We can complain about quality all we want, but nothing's gonna change if u keep buying the shoes. I don't plan on stopping, but Im not complaining.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:07 pm
Whats the point of complaining about the shoe vs box quality…you're either going to get it or you're not….end of discussion…they still going to sell out eventually with or without your opinion
January 9th, 2012 at 4:10 pm
cant wait to have em on my hands………….13 years of waiting for these……man time is lagging it
January 9th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
Hard to believe these where $90 12 1/2 years ago and now they are $160 plus. Damn JB and Nike are in rape mode. All retro's shouldn't be the same price. 1-9 should remain $10-20 less at least
January 9th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
I like how they got the correct cement grey pattern and shade on the box but somehow they couldn't do the same for the shoe itself
January 9th, 2012 at 4:51 pm
I remember last year if you criticized Air Randy or called his shoes B-Grades you'd get a million thumbs down. Glad people are finally realizing.
January 9th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
your a bitch ass nigga living with your momma
January 9th, 2012 at 5:04 pm
HOW THE FUCK DOES AIR RANDY HAVE THE NEW BOXES? i thought they made new boxes to prevent websites like this from pushing the b grades and fakes?
January 9th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
I love to see people sleep on kicks I'm tryna cop. Sleep well my friends!!!!
January 9th, 2012 at 5:24 pm
Why do people complain about the price of the shoes? It's 2012 not the 90's everything has gone up since the fucking 90's.. At the end of the day most of u complaint about it are still gonna end up copping the Dam shoes… Just live with it and move on to the next release.
January 9th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
2xpairs is calling my name! #fuckresellers
January 9th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Theyve changed it back to cement grey…New box says white/black-cement grey
January 9th, 2012 at 5:55 pm
Man you people can bitch about quality. You know why it doesn't change ? Because they're still selling out yo. Simple. They know they can sell a pair with pleather and sell out. That's our faults. I recall in 1999 the infrareds were to be reversed but the sneaker community complained to JB & Nike and they went back to the Original colorway design. Maybe if we speak out more they'll change it.
But any ways they look great. The box is a nice touch with the black paper & the speckles & grey look alot better here. Deff cop. I have my money set aside (y) Waiting for retail version pic
January 9th, 2012 at 6:03 pm
these pics look a lot nicer than the ones from the other day. the grey looks better lighter, and specks r on point. i hope the final product is around this look.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:05 pm
for sure, will never buy from him ever again.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:08 pm
nice but a little cheap looking
January 9th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Idk, still not sure yet if im coppin. I'm not really feelin these. I really want the nike air back for these.
Other than that, its a really good cop if you dont mind the jumpman.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:16 pm
I "while" bury you. Its I "will" bury you tough guy….smh
January 9th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
cool story bro
January 9th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
the cement print looks so horrible
January 9th, 2012 at 6:46 pm
i love this shoe forget the box
January 9th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
How dose the 4 run big or small
January 9th, 2012 at 6:51 pm
I've always preferred the jumpman on the 4's, it makes them look nicer. I'm starting to like the new 4's much better than those older ones. I'm not a sneakerhead so i really don't care about "NIKE AIR" on the back.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:13 pm
fuck air-randy
January 9th, 2012 at 7:22 pm
So u must be a virgin?
January 9th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
Am i the only one that noticed that on the inside of the tongue it says jordan upside down?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:24 pm
Jordan is the original sneakerhead shoe
January 9th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
are you retarded the Jordan fours always been like that so when you flip the tongue you see air jordan. We see who doesn't know shit about Jordan brand retros
classless ^
January 9th, 2012 at 8:38 pm
Thats a failure's comment. Sorry buddy.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
dont understand why people buy shoes earlier for more anyway.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
true to size
January 9th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
there should be hangtags
January 9th, 2012 at 8:55 pm
you're retarded
January 9th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
guys hes not kidding dont worry
January 9th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Nobody is talking about the OG type paper haha thats mad as
January 9th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
MAN..THEY SHOULD AT LEAST THROW SOMETHING EXTRA WITH THE SHOES WITH THAT PRICE…LIKE HANGTAGS RETRO CARD OR SOMETHING..SHXT IS RIDICULOUS SMH
January 9th, 2012 at 10:19 pm
will the 10s have this?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:11 pm
Hear me and remember this forever, if u complaining and still buying this shoe shut. Don't you get it by now, JB is about performance which equals quality. Ever since retros hit he scene what have we done, just walked in them, go to the mall, hangout, parties, clubs etc., we hardly use the shoe for its purpose which is basketball. I'm sure he thought if I'm putting good quality into these shoes so ppl can do this I might as well use less and up the price cause I know ppl will still buy them. We as ppl chose to make jordans casual shoes vs playing ball in them. Its a marketing stragety and if u were JB you do it too. How many of y'all really buy J's to hoop in, hardly that's why he has other jordan lines for basketball and just make the retro line casual gear. Why get mad over somthing we did and he took it and flipped it. If u want so called great quality get that old ass 99 model that's sure to cave in soon. Y'all complain about retro cards and at first we didn't givea shit and now since there gone they mean something. Come on man get over it and be happy that these is back.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:11 pm
Now for those who like this shoe like I do will purchase with no complaints, I like the speckles how they updated them to mimck the OG's smething the 99's didnt,. The grey looks close to OG unlike the 99's didn't but u know ppl hate to give props when there is something right but not like the way they want it to be. They bitch bout jordans not looking like OG's and complained back then and some now the 99's were too light but now the 2012's r too dark but want them to look like the 99's wtf, why not the OG's so now shoes should mimck retros huh? How dumb. the shape and mold is off really its a shoe things vary after 20 sum years damn. The nice box black paper what more d u need. I'm not a leather head so I can't tell u grades of leather and all of u can't neither, its about the shoe we want on our feet not the leather bcuz once we get them we just want t wear them and look good.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:18 pm
I'm gay ok!?!! Shit!
January 9th, 2012 at 11:22 pm
Yeah u guys literally suck my cock for these shoes! I charge u bitches a fortune for bad quality!!!!
January 10th, 2012 at 1:08 am
EYE CANDY ^_^
January 10th, 2012 at 2:03 am
HELL YEAH, FUCK AIR RANDY!
January 10th, 2012 at 4:32 am
paint will chip bad, the mesh will yelllow bad, leather will crease like paper. How do I know?
cause im mothafuckn psychic.
January 10th, 2012 at 4:39 am
Haven't bought a retro since white/red XII *pats self on back* and before that the fire red III. Most people I see wearing Jordans these days are 14 years old, no offense to anyone that still rocks them though.
I still have my old retros though and theres no shame wearing those every few times a year.
January 10th, 2012 at 4:41 am
A fool and his money are easily parted.
January 10th, 2012 at 5:03 am
yes, but it doesn't take a retard to know how fucking pathetic you bitches sound moaning about this shoe
January 10th, 2012 at 9:05 am
brah I feel yah. I dont get it why ppl hate on the jumpman so much. I mean if you had your own line of shoes. And your able to make then with your symbol on them, I think every person would want there symbol on the own product. I mean would you rather have a jordan coat, with the nike symbol our with the jordan symbol. I rather have the quality Of the OG THAN THE NIKE SIGN.
January 10th, 2012 at 9:34 am
retro 4's last time they dropped 115=125
then the shoes went to 150=163
but now 160.00=174.00 for some 4's no thank you
January 10th, 2012 at 10:18 am
Not when I could fuck your bitch.
January 10th, 2012 at 10:21 am
HAHAHA, the box is real cement grey while the shoes are tech grey.
What kind of joke is that?
I hope JB will release black cement 4s as real cement 4s.
PASS!!!
January 10th, 2012 at 10:35 am
bet u still get them tho
January 10th, 2012 at 10:38 am
Who cares about the box. People arnt looking at ur box when your rockin it.
January 10th, 2012 at 2:08 pm
U sound stupid telk me why these aint real cements. Dont say the 99's were cause the grey was never mentioned, the box said black/white. People just called the 9's cements dumbass you probably can't afford them so u got mad about a color the box says cement grey and besides these r truer to OG in color idiot
January 10th, 2012 at 4:58 pm
A fool with internet access thinks I give a fuck. HA!
January 10th, 2012 at 8:32 pm
yeah u can ''PASS''alright''PASS ME YO SHIT''.NIGGA
January 11th, 2012 at 1:42 am
For all those who say the netting is off on the 2012's look at the 99's on niketalk on page 87 or 88. Thr netting is just like the 2012's, both retros nettings are smaller then the OG. For those of u who is trying to acetone the grey to be like the 99's go ahead and fuck up the shoes. This grey is more OG not the 99's.
January 11th, 2012 at 1:58 am
