Thunderstruck

I haven't been a fan of Brand Jordan retro issues the past few years. But this was one release I had to get...

The original Thunder Air Jordan IV that released in 2006. It was bittersweet for me because I was able to get the Lightning version...

But the Thunder was much more elusive & rare. With resale values hitting $400-500, I refused to bite...

So the 2012 release was a welcome site.  As far as quality goes, I was impressed. The past few IV releases were fulled with goofy shapes, piss poor quality (plastic-looking leather) & terrible fit.

I felt they did this one right.  Even the toe box looks on point. I still recommend gutting the flimsy cheap sockliners with replacement insoles.

Thunderstruck!
