Air Jordan IV “Red Nubuck”

Not long after bringing home a Gold Medal, Jordan Brand athlete Carmelo Anthony showed off his latest top-shelf additions – a ring of Air Jordan IV colorways that at this juncture were just a PE/special edition made for the star athlete. Not even a peep regarding a release has been made, but in light of the recent confirmation of the Air Jordan IV ‘Thunder’, it’s safe to say that anything’s game at this point. More recently, Carmelo Anthony, who just finished a nice weekend in Puerto Rico promoting the game of basketball while giving back to the community, was spotted wearing the most energizing of his Air Jordan IV stash – the tonal red colorway that drew instant comparisons to the much-coveted Air Jordan V ‘Raging Bull’. These are clearly built with nubuck materials (like the Cavs IV) rather than the aforementioned suede, but does it matter? These would fly off the shelves in an instant. Let’s hope this public sighting is a step toward a release, so in the meantime, let us know if you’d cop these Retros in the comments section below.

These magma! Melo isnt doing them justice though. They look like boats and he chokin the ish out of them.
These 4's are sexy..there is just enough black & white to off set all the red suede.the raging bull 5 goes alittle harder but these are nice!
These have to come out they made spizike thunder lookalikes and they made a red based spizike like these
Daaaaamn, those are clean. Too much red for me... but still Fresh!
I'd prefer red suede, but begars can't be choosers.
midsole should be black with icy bottom but I want them either way
@Fresh3000 They did that to the DB 3's though... O_o
Damn will they stop toying with us showing all these pics and just say theyll release within two years, I'll be cool with that
Please please please please release ! . . . . I honestly would rather these Red Nubuck 4s come out than the Thunder 4s
these are sposed to be the "23rd anniversary" jordan 4s, i read in a forum a couple months ago
@GrahamAgee That's what the Cav 4's were made for! "The Shot", The 89 playoffs vs. the Cavs, "23" years ago! Sheeesh! Stop gassing these people up on here! Those are a PE for Melo.
@GrahamAgee I hope they come out this year then
LOVE these.Hope they release
These are just so beautiful.
Release these please, very nice kicks
Melo rockin heat In Puerto Rico!
Carmelo u just showing off now but damn I really need these
What happen he "Quick Strike" anniversary 4 that had yet to be Revealed to us?? Could this be it... Should be sued though... BUT I ain't complaining! As I stated on my previous comment please release them!
@crownmeking314 The "Cav 4's" were the 23rd anniversay shoe. It celebrated "The Shot" Michael made over Craig Ehlo in the 1989 playoffs to eliminate the Cleveland Cavaliers "23" years ago. Knowledge is Power my friend!
@Lusinmader I own the cavs & I know why they released the cavs! I was hoping for something more celebrating the 23rd anniversary of the 4 it's self... But hey I guess u told me! Thank you :)
Drop em already... Sheesh!
Def cop if released! I would change the laces to black though.
I need those baaaaaaaddd
I'm not the biggest fan of the IVs but these are nice
Suede would look better though. Nubuck is nice, don't get me wrong, I actually prefer nubuck most of the time, but if these release, they should be in suede, in the exact same CW as the Raging Bull CW.
I wish they had cement print like the fusions they did a while back. I know ppl hate fusions but these were ill http://www.simplysneakers.com/wp-content/gallery/2009-04/jordan-force-fusion-aj4-red-cement-2.jpg
@JulianScottRock what you like man, who gives a f*** what other people wear. Besides, "shoes come in all colors, shapes and sizes just like the people who wear 'em." "Guess what, Fusions are sneakers too… they may be horrendous, but they are shoes." http://www.sneakerfiles.com/2011/05/28/discussion-hate/
@"C.E.O." Seems like you misunderstood his point. I don't think he was hating, I think he was just stating his opinion on what he would like the shoe to look like should they ever be released to the public.
@JulianScott Those were one of the better Fusions that they pulled off.
would have been better with the laser, but release them.
omg please bring these out! red = my favorite color, just another grail to put next to my raging bull 5s!
i wud cop if they would release em..
I would be on em! They look similar to the red suede jordan/forces! Would love to have these.
