Hender Schemes’ Air Jordan 4 homage is getting a lot of attention lately, and rightfully so. The premium all-leather re-creation of one of Michael Jordan’s most iconic silhouettes is a sight to behold, especially in the premium tan color that exudes a tasteful luxury. And if you’re going to pay a cool grand for a pair of sneakers, you have a right to wear them into the ground, just know that the Hender Scheme 4s don’t look too pretty if you do. Here we see a picture with the toebox showcasing an aesthetic of a pair that lost a fight with a lawnmower, as jagged cuts and dirt create a nightmare of a situation. The real question is, what happened? We are all proponents of the “wear your kicks” movement, but with a full-leather construction, your shoes will begin to re-form – think of a leather wallet taking shape of your rear end over time – and your $1,000 shoes will look like any other beat pair.
