Air Jordan IV “Pure Blue” Customs By FRSH Footwear

The transferance of one historic Air Jordan colorway to another model has been a popular theme for sneaker customizers over the last few years. The Air Jordan VI seemed to be a popular choice, with classics like ‘Bordeaux’, ‘Hare’, and ‘White/Cement’ being reconstituted onto the Air Jordan VI, but have we seen anything like this? Meet the Air Jordan IV ‘Pure Blue’ designed by FRSH Footwear; using the tonal-white Air Jordan IV ‘Silver Anniversary’ as the base, FRSH grabs hold of the Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’ and places it onto its lineal successor, with details like the Jumpman on the tongue (notice the removed tongue label), the blue midsole that spans half-way on the medial edge, and of course, the elephant print on the toe. What’s your judgement on these customs? Check out the gallery below and let us know what you think.
Dope concept. Personally not a big fan of the 3's so I kinda like the concept on the fours. I do agree that the elephant print needs to be worked on though. All in all good job.
These are pretty dope but they also look too fake as well.
dope
...cleanliness counts. Well done.
Look like samples of the flight 89 that were on nt a few years back
Dope, I think you should release them as a new shoe for 2013
Guarantee jb drops these and the earths axis will tilt and all hell breaks loose. All you people hating on the elephant print know if they dropped you'd be all over them.
@Lilmr81 BS.., the cement print isn't done well, if these dropped they would have the Jordan cement print..that's it.. nobody said they wouldn't cop.. read better
@pippowz9 First off maybe you need to read closer, second off how bout you blog something informitable instead of talking shit. The elephant print is painted on of course it's not perfect. I'm sick of you clowns who just look for someone to talk shit too.
@Lilmr81 Your the clown bro. Your buggin out because people said the elephant print isn't done well, which it obviously wouldn't be unless you had the actual material. And if Jordan Brand did drop these then the elephant print would be done nicely, and yes, people would be on there hands and knees to get these... The True Blue CW is sweet and from what i've read, ur the one whose starting shit.
@Lilmr81 @pippowz9 talk shit?I don't need to talk shit..U said everyone will jump over these shoes while ppl write that cement looked poor executed, and that's true imo since it's painted on doesn't mean it can't be done better than these ..
oh, ..nice concept
No, please these just don't work. they look chunky
I had a funny feeling people were goin' to say "these look like fakes" hahaha. Basically, just tryin' to promote the AJ III "True Blues" onto an AJ IV. That's why I customize Uptowns, cuz there's no end in sight as to how many colorways can be done to 'em. "C.E.O." SBM Customs
I always said they should put a red Jumpman on the Military Blue tongue, and take away the grey mudguard. But as for these they look fake. The cement print needs to be redone. They're straight though.
shits wack..keep the true blues on THREE'S please.. customs need to die like new jacks, hypebeasts, and resellers
That's one of the best concepts I've seen. But I could never wear this in public cause it looks like some fake ass joints you see on fake Jordan websites.
These are sweet, get a professional to do up the elephant print and these would be perfection
these are real nice looking..only problem is the elephant print...but overall still a dope lookin colorway for the 4s
Well done! Now I will see all the bootleggers make these and try to sell them online and in swapmeets.JB should make a 3.5 remix.
The idea was nice, but the print is off. Looks to much like TB3 , it would be nice to see maybe elephant print on the midesole, or somewhere else.
I think these are pretty Dope. I photoshopped a pair of Black Cement 4's with Elephant print for a design contest on 23jordan forum, I believe it was. That was about 3 or 4 years ago. Nice to see the concept come to life.
these are clean
another "original" idea smh
If that elephant print was legit, I'd like these a lot more than the barrage of sample 5s we've been seein.
wow these are jaw droppingly fresh
no elephant print does not look like the real ones but i think it looks pretty dope like that.
i am in agreement that the elephant print is ass but still this is a sick sneaker
LMAO looking like Fubu's.That cement print is awful
OMG THESE ARE SOOOOOOO SICK, Absolutly love them, and i hate tb3's. but the 4's look hella HARD!!! JUST DO IT NIKEY
GayAF.
elephant print on a IV?! Damn good idea!!
Pretty cool
i dont like customs but good lord these are gorgeous right here jb needs to take not or hire some of these customisers
If these would even come out, this would be a classic in my opinion.
I think this concept was dope but its not my cup of tea. 3's & 4's are the highest on my list (yes, even above 11's) and this concept is dope i just dont know how i feel about this merger.
look nice, a little better job on the elephant print and these would be amazing
mehh they kinda look like flea market joints nice concept tho
Nice concept, but keep the elephant print with the 3s
these are hot! only thing i see wrong with them is the elephant print on the toe box. but other than that these are hot! 9.5/10.00
Love 'em.
Like the feel......just dosent seem "home" on the 4s tho.....nice concept tho!
I think the elephant print kind of ruined it love the concept but it just doesn't look right on leather.
Sick!!
