Michael Air Jordan 4 — Black/Red/Cement
Like the Black Cement 3, I know a lot of people were going in with the intent to double-up. There's a lot of sentimentalism and not just hype, but I personally didn't have that attachment. Entered the Footlocker raffle only, didn't put the effort in additional head starts, didn't wake up for the SNKRS release. Didn't have a pair on release day, and figured I saved money, but today (Sunday) I went to the mall, and there was a leftover in my size.
Didn't take long to appreciate the execution of this pair, despite it not being true to the OG shape. No glue, no misalignment, stitching is complete. There is a certain nostalgia with old shoes and how they were constructed with the production and design limitations of their time. "The Shot" is a moment most shoes can't compare to, either.
