Countdown AJ4 vs ‘99 AJ4 Comparison Video


We just posted the black/cement grey Air Jordan 4 “Countdown Pack” video on Tuesday, and a few days later SneakGeekz has made a comparison video. Tons of people are upset and have been complaining about the differences. Hopefully this video will help clear the air on any questions you may have. Comparisons are always nice, so check out the vid now and feel free to discuss your thoughts in the comments section. Countdown Pack AJIV vs 1999 AJIV retro…fight!!

    man they messed up with these. all they had to do was make them like the 99’s and add the jumpman. is that so hard to do?

    IM STILL GONNA SEE ALL OF YOU WHO SAY U AINT GETTIN THEM WIT THEM ON SO KEEP IT REAL.

  13. ^^ agree with Real Talk….you can complain all you want, but in the end, if you want IV’s and can’t afford 99’s, you’ll drop the loot for these….although it’s a shame you gotta waste money on them ugly ass 19’s.

    Everyone keeps talking about the weight of the shoe….any and everyone here who’s ever held a fake pair knows the big difference is the weight, especially on a fake that actually looks good (fake Raygun SB’s are a good example….asthetically they look real, but they’re a bit “light.” I know this cuz I got burned on a pair before I knew what was up….) Also, someone commented about how these looked fake….which all ties in what I’m about to write a book about lol.

    About a month ago I ordered a pair of FAKE III’s off a site I KNEW was full of $hit, just to see what garbage I’d get in the mail, and to do what we just seen in this video…to do a side by side comparison, only in this case between a “real” shoe and a “fake” one. The III’s cost about $50 (LMFAO)…and I fully expected to simply never recieve a package from that company, or to get something so f*cked up I’d just laugh and toss em in the fire pit….$50 was cheap enough to take a chance at not getting anything…..well, two weeks later I got em….the box was TRASHED LOL, and the retro card was a poorly made copy, BUT!! guess what, the III’s look/feel 99.9% LEGIT—APART from being “light.” I did a side by side with my other III’s (These fakes were the black/cements, and mine are the retro Fire Reds, and they’re real of course) and apart from the shape of the tongue at the very top, the biggest difference is they are a bit lighter than the legit ones….actually, it’s the exact spots your man was talking about….the ankle padding in the fakes is thinner than the real ones. It was the same results as you just seen in this video….small diffences in some small places, but overall the same shoe. After doing my little experiment, my guess is Nike’s using alot of different production plants all over the place to make kicks, and some of these “real” retros are being made with the EXACT SAME materials/parts, and in the same plants, as the kicks that find their way on some of the sites that sell “fakes/variants.”

    The point of this is, it’s a real shame that kids are gonna dump over $300 to get these thin, weak ass IV’s that are most likely getting made in some crappy sweatshop that’s pumping out other crappy J’s that get sold on fake sites….but honestly, we’ll never know the truth.

    BTW, I gave the Rayguns and the III’s away to some kids who could give a f*ck less whether they were “real” or not…..I do NOT rock/support fakes at all, so PLEASE, if someone was gonna flame me for buying fakes, don’t waste your time…..I got em to do the comparison, not to actually wear lol.

    this is rediculous! The biggest reason why everybody is in a huff is because they obviously look like something is wrong with them. as for people getting them anyway it will only be because there is a quality change or at least they put Nike air on the back (or at very least have the word air)

    I don’t think this will be a popular collection anyway… now next month is another story

    omg! will you people just relax for a minute. Wait until they come out see them for yourself…get them from a LEGIT store not wrapped in plastic wrap and ducted tape in the mail. ok. Then make your decision.

    woooo-sahhh. c’mon say it with me….

  18. EnameL!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING FROM THE GET-GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME DAMN COMMON SENSE!!!!!!

    maybe HE is Air Randy LoL
    na but dat wuld make sense
    cuz he startd puttin out vidz
    almost exactly after AR got
    shut down. maybe im wrong
    but datz just wat i thnk LoL

  20. There a beautiful shoe. But honestly. What killed it for me. Is the lack of the jumpman. The weight and all that bullshit I don’t fucking care. And the thin collar blah blah blah blah cry cry cry whine whine whine. Just that cosmetic alteration kills it for me. Without the Nike Air on the hell and the Nike with the swish makes it a funky ass shoe for me.

  21. Yo LOL at what Corey siad, nows theres going to be some kind of conspiracy that this guy is Air Randy jajaja
