 Today I'm going to be giving you guys a comprehensive breakdown of all the elements of the What The Air Jordan 4's. This shoe is inspired by all four original Air Jordan 4 colorways from 1989. And I'm so happy to tell you guys that finally now in 2024, we officially have all four colorways in a retro version with the Nike Air on the back. So I can finally make a comparison video for you guys of the What The 4's in the actual form. And because both of these sneakers have four different models incorporated into one shoe and each shoe is different. We're going to go one shoe at a time starting with the bottom of the sneaker and working our way up. And then we'll start with the next shoe and do the same process so you guys can see where all the elements come from. Starting with the outsole right here, you can see it has the same exact bottom as your bread Air Jordan 4's. When I put these two shoes side by side, you can see the colors and everything is going to be the same on the pattern. Now this one in particular, the gray is a little bit different. It has a little bit more of a, I would say, warmer tone to the gray. But at the end of the day, this is supposed to resemble the bread Air Jordan 4's. Now wrapping up to the side of the foot right here, you're still going to see that gray rubber wrapping around the front end of the toe, stitched right there in gray and then also right here in the middle of the foot also going to be similar to your bread 4's. But when it comes to the actual midsole and the paint colors, that's going to be identical to the fire red Air Jordan 4's. So you can see you have your black at the top with the white below and then your black right here in the front. You're going to have those same elements here on the shoe as well. When you put them side by side, you can see what I'm talking about. Now when it comes to the upper on this sneaker, it's going to be covered in all white leather, which is going to be similar to either the white cement Air Jordan 4's or the fire red Air Jordan 4's. But when you put these side by side with these other two sneakers, you can see that you have a smooth leather on these two models. And this one's going to be more of a tumbled leather. And honestly, it feels really premium and nice. I'm not mad about the execution on these. Now when it comes to the arm on the side of the foot and the eye stay at the front end, you're going to see gray with the military blue on the outside of the foot. And that's going to be identical to your military blue Air Jordan 4's, as you can see right here. Obviously, again, the shades are going to be a little bit different, but you get where they're going with it. Oh yeah, and by the way, there's over 30 different what the sneakers when it comes to Nike's and Jordan's. And fun fact, the what the SB was the first one that started all this madness. Now another thing to notice when it comes to these two shoes as well is going to be the mesh and the net. So you have that same military blue behind it on the mesh on the tongue and on the side panels on both the inside of the foot and the outside of the foot. And then you have your white rubber nets on the top of that. And that's going to be the same thing as your military blue Air Jordan 4's. But where they decided to switch things up is if you look at the inside of the foot when it comes to the plastic arms and the eye stay here at the front end, that's going to be identical to your white cement Air Jordan 4's. And as you can see with these two shoes side by side, you can definitely tell very, very similar. Obviously, the speckles going to be a little bit different and the color is just a little bit different on the shade. But either way, you get where they're going. Now when it comes to the tongue of the sneaker, if you look right here, you can see you have your classic Air Jordan 4 patch. Now if you flip the shoe around and look at the tongue here, you can see you have the red material. That's going to be the same thing here on the bread force and also on the fire at force. So honestly, it can go either way. It's up to you to decide whether it's from this shoe or that shoe. Now when it comes to the actual patch on the back end of the shoe, it says Air Jordan, you have a white patch with red text. Now this is where they switched it up. If you look here, you have a white patch with black text. And on this one, you also have a white patch with black text. And the only one that has a white patch with the red text is the white cement force. The patch is going to come from there. So you have multiple elements even on the back end of the tongue because on the white cement force, the material is black. Now when it comes to everybody's favorite part of the shoe and that's going to be the back tab. Here on the right foot, you have the same back tab as your white cement Air Jordan 4's as well. You're going to have the gray tab with the black text and the black speckle and everybody loved this hit. Now looking at the area on the collar and the materials, this is going to be more similar to your military blue Air Jordan 4 with that light gray. The bread floor does have a gray on the inside of the collar as well. But it's a darker gray, more of a cement gray. So I think this is more set to resemble the military blue force. Now this pair in particular also comes with an additional pair of all black laces, which makes sense because all these other shoes have either black or white laces standard with the models. So I can understand why they did that. Now looking at the sock liner right here, you have an all red sock liner with the black Nike Air. And that's going to be the same sock liner as your black cement Air Jordan 4's or the bread Air Jordan 4's, whatever you like to call it. So that's a full breakdown of the right foot. Now let's take it to the left foot and see how they incorporated the elements on that shoe. Hey yo, just real quick, I wanted to let you guys know we got a bunch of new merch on the website ShopDNAShow.com. Also, you guys can click on any of the links of the product tag just below the video here if you're watching on your mobile devices. I can't wait to see you guys rocking the gear. Have you copped something? Make sure you post it on IG so I can see it and then I'll repost it. Alright, let's get back to the video. So first things first, when it comes to the hang tag right here, this is actually going to be something that we don't see on the original colorways. And it's going to be the opposite, flipped, reversed or whatever you want to call it. Typically it's going to be all orange with the clear branding with the text. This time it's all clear with the orange text. Now starting with the outsole on this shoe, this is going to be your same color pattern as your white cement Air Jordan 4's. When you put these two shoes side by side, you can see that they definitely have the same pattern. And again, the grays are going to be a little bit different. Like I said before, this gray on the What the Force, it's got like a little bit more of a warm tone to the gray. And then on this white cement 4, it's a little bit cooler, has a little bit more of a blue undertone to it. Now wrapping up to the midsole, honestly this is something that I was kind of surprised by. Because we saw that they didn't do the same midsole and outsole on the other foot. But when you put these side by side with the white cement Air Jordan 4's, they also did that same element here on the midsole as well. So you have that cement gray with the black splatter and then the white below it. And then you have the same thing here, obviously as the OG. And that wraps all the way around the side of the foot, as you can see right here. So in my head, I would assume since they did the black cement Air Jordan 4 and then the fire red Air Jordan 4 on the midsole, you would assume that they would do the military blue on the midsole on these since they did the white cement Air Jordan 4 on the outsole. But again, who knows, maybe I'm tripping, maybe I'm just overthinking it. Now when it comes to the upper and the materials on the what the Air Jordan 4 is, you're going to have that same idea like we saw on the other one. You have the all white leather all throughout the sneaker. And then on here, like I said, you could resemble that to either the white cement or the fire red 4's. Either way, you're going to have that all white leather and it's going to be tumbled and it's going to be nice, honestly. Like I said earlier, it feels really good and I'm not mad at how they went about the execution. But hear me out, hear me out. If they took the all white upper from those two, you got two other options. You got the gray mudguard from the military blue 4's that could potentially have ran on the front on this foot or they could have did an all black upper like the black cement Air Jordan 4's on the left foot. What would you have preferred? Let me know down below in the comment section when it comes to that design aspect. Now when you're looking at the plastic arms and the eye stay here at the front end of the shoe on the outside of the foot, you're going to see the black arm with the red eye stays right here and that's going to be just like your fire red Air Jordan 4's. Now when it comes to the mesh and nets, they did the same concept like they did here. You had the military arms on the outside with the military blue mesh and net behind it and they made that match with this. So I like how they kept that consistency when it comes to the outside being the fire red and they use the same mesh and nets of the fire red all throughout the left foot. Now when it comes to the arms on the inside of the left foot, you have the same arms as your black cement Air Jordan 4's. You're going to have that all black arm here with the gray eye stays at the top and bottom. And again, the grays are going to just be slightly different when it comes to the shade. But that's definitely one dope element that I liked about the shoe, how they used each arm from each of the four models since you got four different arms technically, you know, left, right, left, right on both sides. Now like we talked about earlier, these come with a standard pair of all white laces and additional pair of black laces that you can switch out if you wanted to do that. And then on the tongue, you're going to have your all white leather with your white Air Jordan 4 patch. You're going to have your blue jump man in the black text. Now it's going to be same as your military blue Air Jordan 4's. And then going to the back side, you can see you have that same blue when it comes to the fabric on the back end. Which like we talked about earlier on the other pair, how we said it could be the red from the fire reds or the black cements. Now after I look at these, it starts to make me think it's probably from the black cement on the red on the back end of the tongue of the right foot. Now when it comes to the square patch behind the tongue that says Air Jordan, you have a white patch with black text. And if you look at the military blue 4, you're going to have that same patch. The black cement, the same patch. And the fire red 4, the same patch. So really the white cement 4 is the only outlier when it comes to that white patch with the different text. Now looking at the color of the shoe, you're going to have that same color as that red on the fire red Air Jordan 4's. And this is the only 4 that features the red color. So that's pretty easy to identify. Now when it comes to the sock liner on the what the 4, you're going to have an all black sock liner with the red text and the Nike Air. And then also you have the same black sock liner with the red text and Nike Air on the white cement 4 and on the fire red 4. So again, you can decide whichever one you want to say it comes from. So after seeing all the elements of the what the Air Jordan 4's, what do you guys think about this shoe? Do you like the shoe more? Do you like it less? Did you already know all these things?
