I'm actually giving away this pair of White Thunder Air Jordan Forest yo What's good yo yoy what do you think of These Guys inside this box is a brand new pair Of Air Jordan 4s that could be one of The most popular sneakers of the entire Year possibly this is a pair of shoes That I've been incredibly excited for Since it first got teased a couple Months back through Nigel Sylvester and Of course I had to buy a pair to give You guys an early review grab my pair Off of goat now it's not exactly the Colorway that I think you guys are all Expecting but it is a colorway that Looks very very clean and it's the exact Same silhouette it's just not the Nigel Sylvester collaboration and of course We'll get more into that later on in the Video but here we go this is the box for The brand new Air Jordan 4 RMS a Completely new Jordan silhouette it's a Modern restoration is what they're Calling it of the Air Jordan 4 the Air Jordan 4 Resto mod or Air Jordan 4 RMS So it is a a new take on a classic pair Of sneakers but here's the Box compared To a standard Air Jordan 4 box Definitely smaller and also the splatter Print is on the top of the box and not On the side of the Box not a huge Difference but there is a difference There just to show you that it is a
Completely different silhouette with Some Air Jordan 4 Heritage of course on The top of the box you do have that Splatter print in this sort of cream and Gray color you've got the Jumpman in the Center in green and you've got the fly Text underneath in black and it looks Like it's a fliptop box versus a Standard Air Jordan 4 like liftoff box Top which is not again not a huge Difference but it is a difference so I Just want to point them all out to you On the front of the Box you do have the Size tag Air Jordan 4 RM size 9 the Official colorway that I grabbed is Black light bone dark gray so obviously Not the Nigel Sylvester colorway which Comes in all green but uh I mean the Box Toop is green so it's kind of similar Looks like we've got the the goat thing Right here just the tag to let you know That you bought it from goat I'll be Honest with you guys the reason I bought This pair over the Nigel Sylvester pair One is because it's exactly the same and Two is because it was $600 cheaper the Nigel Sylvester pair at least at the Time that I was purchasing this shoe was $850 on Goat this pair came with instant Shipping and was $250 and I was like you Know what I'm okay with not getting the Nel Sylvester colorway if I can save $600 so that's what I did Inside the Box We've got this white paper that has 23
Printed all over it and then we've got The shoes themselves these are different I mean obviously cuz they're a new Silhouette but these are pretty Different they kind of remind me of like Van's half cabs at least to cut so like I said this shoe is a redesign of the Classic Air Jordan 4 modern redesign a Resto mod or an RM and uh because of That you really only have some details From the original Air Jordan 4s like the Original midsole and I guess the mudu Guard and that seems like that's about It the upper of the shoe is completely Redesigned of course the colorway that Everyone wants is Grandma way the Nigel Sylvester colorway that comes in like a Forest green and it makes a lot of sense That Nigel Sylvester is the first Athlete to get a collaboration on this Shoe because this is seemingly a Skateboard SL bike modification of the Classic Air Jordan 4 obviously he's Already ridden a lot in Air Jordan 1es And Air Jordan 4s but this is absolutely A pair that was specifically designed For sports like that I mean the upper of The shoe is incredibly well padded this Reminds me a lot of a skate shoe the Classic Wings on the shoe are gone you Do have what seems to be some sort of Wing inspired details like this this uh I guess this TPU panel right here and This little eyelid at the bottom of the
Shoe and then you also have your heel Counter you know what I'm kind of Excited about these I didn't think I Would be I thought I'd be excited about The Nigel Sylvester colorway because I Like Nigel Sylvester and I'm honestly a Hype beast but this colorway even though It's not probably going to be popular Whatsoever is very very clean and I'm Planning to actually rock this for the Next couple days and give you guys a Really in-depth review of how this shoe Feels on feet because it is a completely New version of the Air Jordan 4 it looks Like we also get a second set of laces With this pair a uh a gray set of LA es Huh where is there gray on the shoe okay Well you get a gray set of laces or Maybe in the out soole I don't know you Get a gray set of laces if you want to Switch them out I'm not going to um They're also flat gray laces these are Sort of more of a oval lace yeah man I'm Kind of stoked on these I'm kind of into These I didn't think I was going to like These but these are cool now it's going To be interesting to see what the Reception to these is going to be like I'm sure the Nigel Sylvester colorway is Going to fly like there's no question There because it's a big popular Collaboration it's going to do well but The real question is is how is the Air Jordan 4 RM going to Fair once the
Collab ation hype is died down like when We're getting colorways like this a Colorway that doesn't have Nigel's name Attached to it it's just purely a Modified version of the Air Jordan 4 Traditionally modified versions of Classic Air Jordan sneakers have done Badly like they they usually maybe will Sell out the first color way that's not A collab but then after that they just Bomb and I do think that's probably What's going to happen with these I Think that these shoes maybe this color Way if it drops after the Nigel Sylvester colorway might sell out or Might be difficult to find but any Colorway after this is going to be a Sitter in my opinion I don't think People are really feeling modified Air Jordan sneakers that being said I do Appreciate that Jordan brand is trying Something different I think one of the Biggest problems people have with Jordan Brand right now is the fact that they're Just purely leaning on Nostalgia and While in a way this is leaning on Nostalgia because it's an Air Jordan 4 It is a pretty interesting update to Take specifically catering towards Skateboarders and bike riders and things Like that so it is a very cool shoe and I'm excited to rock this shoe so let me Throw these guys on feet let me see how They feel let me wear them around for a
Couple days and I'll come back to you Guys with a full in-depth review of the Air Jordan 4 RM all right so I've Got a Brand New Pair of Shoes to show you oh Those are nice so I have been wearing These so that's why they look a little Bead these are actually a new version of The Air Jordan 4 which I know that you Know and love oh I see that now right so This is a more um skateboarding bike Focused version of the Air Jordan 4 is Right off the rip which one would you Prefer I mean they're different enough For me that they're just two different Okay like you'd wear them in two Different situations for sure so I'm Going to try these guys on like I said I've already tried these on I already Know how they fit but just to give you Guys a uh I don't know just to keep with Like my regular review format I've Really scuffed these up like way more Than I thought that I would have and I've only worn them for like 2 days I Mean all day for 2 days but still now The benefit of these shoes is that They're $150 versus like 215 so they're Like what $65 cheaper than a s of air Fors oh that's the retail price for them Yeah the retail price sizing wise I'd Say they fit true to size I would say That they're slightly tighter than the Standard pair of fours because they're Like way more padded in the upper of the
Shoe especially around the ankle area And I've been wearing these for the last Couple days so they should have loosened Up a little bit but they're definitely Tighter they feel like a skate Sho they Feel like a half cab or a chucko or Something like that nice you have a nice Fit with that Apothecary tea we actually Just dropped the diamond plate Collection of socks which should be Available to the YouTube shopping tab on Your screen but it's fire not wearing it Right now but uh it is fire so you can Take my word for that yeah I really like These a lot the more that I've worn them The more I really like them what would You give them out of 10 um I think you Gave the Military Blues like an 88 and 1 Half yeah that sounds right cuz I was Going to say six or seven for these oh So they're a little bit lower bit but I Like but I still like them again sizing Wise I'd say true to size but they are Definitely more snug than a standard Pair of four so if you want you know a Closer to four fit maybe go up half a Size but it's it's really close it's Just more padded it's a more padded four But yeah with that being said back to The studio all right I've been wearing The Air Jordan 4 RM for the last couple Days and I've got a lot of thoughts About it but before we dive into any of That let's first talk about price point
Because this shoe is not priced like a Standard pair of Air Jordan 4s a Standard pair of fours is like 210 215 Maybe 220 depending on the the Collaboration but in this case this shoe Starts at just 150 and I mean when you Compare it to a standa pair of Air Jordan 4s that's really not a bad price Because it's essentially the same shoe Especially from the tooling down the Only real difference is the upper and Even then it's not like a huge Difference I mean the material quality At least on this colorway I think is Actually better than the material Quality on the white Thunder 4S which Honestly is kind of wild to say and you Know something else it's wild that was a Terrible transition I'm actually giving Away this pair of white Thunder Air Jordan Forest one of you guys all you Need to do is follow me on Instagram and I've made sure to leave a link to my Instagram in the top of the description Below and then get your core badge Through Instagram so follow me and then Click the link in the description of my Instagram to get your core badge and Your enter super easy to do and I'll Pick the winner and message them through Core in a week so make sure to follow me On Instagram download your core badge And you are good to go for the giveaway But getting back to it unless you're
Getting a pair of Air Jordan 4s like These white Thunders for free I think That the Air Jordan 4 RM is a better Value but of course we'll get into that A little bit later on in the video let's First talk about the release of this Shoe now that's where things get kind of Interesting so this silhouette is Releasing first as the Nigel Sylvester Collaboration which should be dropping In the next week on July 20th there's Also apparently some early activations Happening where you can get a pair early I just don't know all the details for Those so those don't really count cuz They're not like wide releases but for Most people that's your first chance to Grab a pair of the Air Jordan 4 RMS if You want to grab this version the Non-collaboration version which like I Said earlier on in the video is Significantly cheaper at least right now Unfortunately there is no release date For this colorway which is really odd I Have a sneaking suspicion that it's just Going to drop randomly in the next Couple weeks possibly at the end of July Or into August maybe they'll announce it On social media maybe they won't I don't Know exactly what's going to happen but There is no solid release date for this Shoe as of yet that being said if you do Want to grab a pair of these early I've Made sure to leave links to this shoe
Through the YouTube shopping tab on your Screen and I've got to say for the last Couple days that I've been wearing this Sneaker I've been really impressed like Way more than I thought I'd be whenever Jordan brand creates a new version or Variation of one of their popular Classic Air Jordan retro sneakers it's Not always the best and that's not to Say that they're unwearable or bad shoes People just don't like them as much yo What's good damn mid review I'm Literally you want to say hi to the Camera yo yo hey well I've got you what Do you think of these guys I like the Nyro colorway call me a hype Beast right For me too me too I like this colorway This colorway is not bad but it it's a Good shoe but it has to have the right Colorway totally there's some that just Look so disgusting and then there's some That look dope the Nigro one is fire and That one I wouldn't mind having it if I Could well we're probably going to be Able to get it for retails yeah not you I'm sure you paid resell to get it early But did I did shout out to guys for the Impromptu collab But getting back into the shoe so I Think it'll be really interesting to see What happens with all the newer Colorways that are not Nigel Sylvester Collaborations when they release how They'll be received we'll have to just
Wait and see but uh I think there's a Lot of potential here and I think um Depending on how the Nigel Sylvester Collaboration goes this Sho could be a Hit or not who knows speaking of the Nigel collab I don't think there's a Huge difference between that shoe and This shoe I think the only real Difference is the colorway the fact that There's mini Nike Swoosh and also bike Air on the heel at least from what I can Tell from images so uh in this review I'm going to review essentially the same Except with a different color way but With all that being said let's dive into The materials that make up the Air Jordan 4 Resto mods starting off around The toe with the sneaker you've got this Light tan mud guard the material does Feel a little bit thin but surprisingly Premium for what it is in the price Point I couldn't really tell you how Nice this weight actually is but I would Assume it's probably just your standard Air Jordan suede not the nicest but not The worst and actually comparing it to The material used on a Santa pair of Forest it's definitely thinner uh I Don't know if that means anything but it Is a little bit thinner for sure Continuing up on the sneaker you get to This surprisingly soft black tumbled Leather on the toe of the shoe and then Just above that you've got this black
Newu material that rounds off the bottom Of the tongue moving back on the shoe The IE stay comes in this black Ballistic nylon material it seems like The tongue also comes in that same Material at least most of the tongue and Then the eyelids to the shoe are Actually embroidered for added Durability they're not metal they're Just a sort of embroidered circle around Where the eyelid hole is again so they Don't tear out or anything like that Especially because at least from what I Can tell this shoe is specifically Designed for biking or skateboarding or Action sports that require you to have a Slightly more durable shoe weaving Through the eyelets you've got these Black oval laces you've also got a set Of gray flat laces if you decide to Switch them out but I don't see anyone Really doing that I just don't think That that would look that great on this Shoe especially because I don't really See much gray on the sneaker at the top Of the tongue you've got this tan tag Which replaces the standard Air Jordan 4 Tag it comes in Suede and it features The Jumpman and the flight Tex Embroidered in Black a pretty Interesting change between the Air Jordan 4 RM and the standard Air Jordan 4 is not only the material used on the Sock liner of the shoe it's sort of this
Fuzzy almost felt likee fabric that Material is also on like the top quarter Inch of the tongue not sure exactly why They did that I don't love it visually I Don't hate it though to be honest but Maybe it's because you know the front of Your foot or your shin can rub on this Area who knows but uh it's there and It's incredibly well paded like the Entire ankle area of this shoe and the Tongue is really really well paded in Fact the tongue is paded all the way Down and the ankle area is significantly More padded than the standard pair of Fours the padding around the heel is Almost as thick as something you find on The Air Jordan fivs I mean it's really Really well padded and it feels really Good on feet like I mentioned when I was Trying this shoe on this shoe definitely Fits a little bit tighter than a Standard pair of fours but that's Because they just like blasted the heel Of this shoe with padding it's super Super plush super soft it's actually Kind of a almost like a memory foam Feeling padding which is really nice and Definitely provides a lot of support and I'm sure if you're skateboarding in These or biking in these it probably Feels great I did walk in these for two Days but I can't skateboard and I I mean I can ride a bike but it's not I'm not Doing what Nigel's doing so probably not
The best wear tester for this shoe I Will say though for day-to-day use like Going to the store or uh going to the Gym or something like that which I did Which most people I think will do in This shoe feels great another big change Between the Air Jordan 4 RM and the Standard Air Jordan 4 is actually the Hype so the standard Air Jordan 4 is Essentially a midtop sneaker but the Air Jordan 4rm isn't really a low it's more Of like a um a mid mid that's not really A thing it reminds me a lot of the Vans Half caps like the cut of this shoe is Almost exactly the same as the Vans half Cap and I've got to say that's one of my Favorite pairs of vans ever it's Incredibly comfortable the cut is Different you don't see a lot of it out There uh I think maybe the Nike Dunk Mids are the most similar thing in Nike Lineup but it actually looks really good Especially on feet way better than I Expected and personally I never thought That the Air Jordan 4 was too high but It's nice to have a more midtop slightly Lower option um especially if you're Doing more action sports you need more Ankle versatility and movement and I'm Sure you can make the argument oh no Your ankle doesn't have as much support In this shoe but realistically how much Support can an Air Jordan 4 actually Give you so I don't know but I'm sure
Nike had a lot of people actually test This shoe doing the things that they Specifically designed it for people like Nigel Sylvester who was seen wearing Versions of the shoe for months so I'm Certain that Nike test Ed this a Reasonable amount and uh I've got to say On foot as just a regular person feels Great rounding off the inside of the Shoe you've got a black insole with a White Jumpman there's no Nike Air text Or bike air text or anything like that On the insole it's very simple very Clean and then continuing back in the Sho of the midfoot you've got the other Pretty major change on the Air Jordan 4 RM from the Air Jordan 4 and that of Course is the removal of the Classic Air Jordan 4 wings and instead you've got This one large TPU panel that actually Wraps almost the entire way around the Shoe now presumably this TPU panel is Here for support again something that's Necessary when you're doing things like Skateboarding or bike riding or anything Like that and of course some of the Details on this TPU panel are inspired From the Air Jordan 4 like where they've Got these two isets on the top of the Tongue and the bottom of the tongue Those are both inspired by the Air Jordan 4 Wings areas sort of in the same Shape but not exactly the same they Feature elements from the Air Jordan 4
Like this triangular cutout here on the Air Jordan 4 and of course the Triangular shape of the bottom one is Translated to the Air Jordan 4 RM in the Same sort of rounded triangular shape But in addition to that there are some New surfacing details like this grid Pattern on the bottom part of the uh the TPU panel you've also got this what Looks like backwards triangular shape That features these gloss edges which I Think is kind of cool I mean it Definitely makes this feel like a modern Restoration especially because restomod Is a word that came from the car culture And so this definitely has some what Seems to be car inspired details like to Me that looks like an air intake and I Don't know if that's actually what it Was inspired by but that's what it Reminds me of so I definitely see some Some car inspiration in this shoe on the Medial side of the shoe the panel is Pretty much exactly the same except for These small ventilation holes towards The midfoot of the shoe which probably Do nothing I'm going to be honest with You I I don't even know why they're There I'm putting my finger in that area Of the shoe it's not like there's mesh Or anything there it seems like it's Just a wow just seems like they just put A thick panel there I don't know why That's there purely for Aesthetics I
Guess now again this heel tab is only Inspired by the Air Jordan 4 it's not in Any way shape or form an Air Jordan 4 Heel Tab and it really is just a Continuation of this TPU panel wrapping Around the back of the shoe in fact it Doesn't even go all the way down the Back of the upper obviously it comes in The same TPU material it's got this grid Pattern you've got the Nike Air branding In gloss black which I actually think is A really nice touch I think on Nigel Sylvester's collab maybe says bike air Or something like that which is super Cool not going to lie but on this shoe It says Nike Air and I kind of like that They did that I didn't go for a standard Jumpman it makes it have some OG Nostalgia to it however they did add a Jumpman off to the side right here in Gloss black and Jordan brand actually Did something similar on the Nita Chanel Air Jordan 3s where they had a little Jumpman on this little tab kind of Hanging off the side of the heel tab of The shoe so it's kind of a similar touch I don't mind it I think it's cool of Course like a standard Air Jordan 4 you Have the same sort of pull tab area Except significantly smaller and one Thing I've noticed as I sort of played With this uh TPU panel is that it feels A lot like the paneling on the Nike SB Air Jordan fors it's very soft it's very
Stretchy significantly softer than a Santa pair of a Jordan fors which would Make sense because this is again a Skateboarding biking Focus shoe so a lot Of these details actually line up with That I'm actually kind of surprised that The first colorway of the shoe wasn't Like a Nike SB colorway like why didn't They do a Nike SB one and a Nigel Sylvester one that would have been crazy If they Dro two collabs at once like the Nike SBs and the Nigel sylvesters maybe The next Nike spba Air Jordan 4 is going To be a Resto mod I don't know that Would be sick I would be so down for That but either way there are definitely Details on this shoe taken from the Nike S SP Air Jordan 4 is for sure then we Move down on the Sho with the pretty Standard feeling Air Jordan 4 midsole And outsole tooling I mean from what I Can tell it's unchanged from a sandard Pair of fors I don't know if they added Maybe an extra air unit in the for foot Or maybe removed an air unit like they Did with the Nike SBA Air Jordan fors I Couldn't really feel the difference Between this shoe and the Air Jordan 4s At least Under Foot obviously on this Color way it all comes in this Monochromatic tan of course you've got Your visible air unit there in the heel And then moving to the out soole of the Shoe you've got some more tan rubber on
The traction pattern you've got a black Panel on the midfoot and then a black Panel on the for foot and of course your Little tan Jumpman right there in the Center but at this point let's talk About comfort and overall I've got to Say that the Air Jordan 4 Resto mod or The Air Jordan 4 RM is one of the more Comfortable Air Jordan fours that's Mainly because it's very well padded Around the ankle I mean it's definitely More padded than a standard pair of Air Jordan fors and it feels more secure on My feet which is probably what they were Trying to go for it's very similar to a Standard pair of fors I didn't notice it Difference I think that the Air Jordan 4 Nike SBs are the most comfortable pair Of Air Jordan 4s personally I don't Think these were as comfortable as those At least under feet but they did feel Good especially on the upper of the shoe Breathability not great but it's not Great in sandard Air Jordan force and I Guess because there's less shoe on the Top my ankle breathe a little bit better So maybe it's a bit more breathable I Don't know so while right now there's a Decent amount of hype around the Air Jordan 4 RM because of the Nigel Sylvester collaboration I wouldn't be Surprised if over the next 6 months the Shoe kind of Fades Into Obscurity and This silhouette eventually becomes an
Outlet sitter I don't know if that's What's going to happen I really wouldn't Be surprised in fact I think that's the Likely outcome but who knows but I will Say if you're interested in this shoe Whatsoever for 150 bucks I actually Think it's a great shoe and I think You'll really enjoy wearing it Especially if you go skateboarding Especially if you go biking or if you Just like the way it looks I think it's A really good pickup and after the last 3 days of rocking it I'm going to Continue to rock it I really like this Shoe a lot I'm going to leave it by my Door it's going to be an everyday Sneaker for me and I mean shoot when you Compare the price point of this shoe to This shoe it seems like you're getting a Lot more value from this shoe obviously The hype is with this shoe and if you Want to spend an extra $65 to get this Shoe over this shoe nothing wrong with That but uh I think this is a really Great pair of Air Jordan 4s I wouldn't Overlook it but hey at this point that Pretty much wraps things up thank you so Much for watching let me know your Thoughts on the Air Jordan 4 rm's in the Comment section down below also don't Forget to follow me on Instagram to Possibly win a pair of Air Jordan 4 White Thunders like a month before they Drop again links in the top of the
