Are the Reimagined 'Bred' Air Jordan 4s Any Good? | The Complex Sneakers Show

[@Complex]

What do you think is the best Air Jordan 4 ever?

[@gregfilmsstuff8886]

bring back Full Size Run!!

[@askaboutme8257]

I have to say IMHO it's a tie between the Grey KAWS 4 and the Fear 4 from the Fear pack.

[@oyedotuno9014]

Grey Kaws 4 is a strong contender

[@stussy1993]

The entire OG set, Encore Eminem 4's, Tour 4's, UNDFT 4's, Thunder & Lightenings, and Lasers. Best 4's ever

[@chukwuemekaduruji6793]

Love the set, however colour grading makes it difficult to watch

[@mrotaveria]

Hepathitis colourway, JLP hands look weird.

[@nak5eno616]

Too much green

[@bornandraisedinCali]

Wayyy too much green in the shadows especially. Thought I was the only one

It looks ok on my iPad but watching it on the big TV everyone and everything has a nasty green tint.

Thank you to the team at Complex for posting this video today! I was just told that I have a non cancerous brain tumor which I did surgery for yesterday. This video has really brightened my day!

[@drewdistefano4267]

Welty was on defense mode this episode. How many times did he reference that he likes stuff the others dont like and they like stuff he doesnt like

[@vincenttyler4667]

I love TN's. Where they on sale at 😅

[@ianm81]

Set looks nice. But having the shoes be visible in the main shot would be cool

[@brendandunnecomplex]

Gonna switch it up a little bit for next week.

[@venkateshjaiswal1612]

The carpet is bad for a sneaker show. Not able to see the sneakers clearly.

[@oyedotuno9014]

The set is good , the carpet is definitely horrendous .its making the set look like a jungle

[@PadreDePato]

Need a black “off white” carpet 👍🏼

[@A_78939]

Matches the atmosphere, I love it. It’s hard to see obvious green shoes but better than a grey concrete flooring

So then keep the set the same on YOUR viral podcast

[@sweetgregt]

Ya'll this lighting and coloring ain't it. Everything is so yellow.

[@ApostleRashad]

I have a suggestion. Each one of y'all should have your top 3 sneakers of the year on the back wall that you rearrange throughout the year. By putting up, removing or staying with the order.

[@TheShoemmelier]

When it’s a full wide shot, the wood panels, dark green background, and colors on the carpet give it a 70s vibe. When it’s a close-up on Welty and Dunne it looks fine. The lighting on the close-up on JLP looks off from side to side. Look at the difference on his face and hands when he moves around.

[@meshboysummer]

Great show. Not the biggest fan of the lighting/color palette though. It puts a green hue over everything that just kinda puts me off. Idk if there's a way to add great lighting effects without making you all look jaundiced lol.

[@whykid]

Gotta protect Welty and Brendan at all costs. Welty has been dropping truths after truths every episode, even on FSR (too bad that's ended). His analogies are GREAT and stance on certain things deserve praise. Brendan's non-bias attitude has always been so good for discussions and debates and needs to get more credit on that. Joe, well JLP is JLP but sometimes I can't help but feel major FOMO, try hard, and hyping a lot of things that mainstream media pushes like Welty and Brendan are supposed to be agree with them can be kinda corny imo - almost reminds me of Ross Geller lol. But no hate though, these guys have been truly giving great perspectives since day 1.

[@JawnNawva]

I agree but the chemistry is peak with these three. Even when their takes aren't as good, the product is quality.

[@whykid]

@@JawnNawva one hundred percent on the chemistry.

[@mattkaminski1832]

Hyping those wack terra humaras was a bad take by jlp and jlp is my guy also not trying to hurt d books feelings is a bad look

[@liampaschen4328]

love the set, would love to see a lot more sneakers though

[@SpacelyAdams]

ngl I miss Trinidad James

[@MFSHECKS]

Im good with the set changing and all but i just hope the og podcats vibe prevails, no new format. And the carpet it’s just a little to wild, need to tone it down. Glad to see you guys again 🙌🏼

[@Yesyou_]

Welty getting called out in his New Balance D riding is hilarious

[@scottyderouen4696]

Good take Welty about buying kids real or reps. I must agree that it is not practical to buy kids expensive sneakers.

[@ianm81]

100% agree on DBooks shoe. Not releasing in PHX, being limited and then moving onto other color-ways before letting people having them in hand is a head scratcher.

[@inalaboyy]

Love that Brendan’s getting Aussie exclusive TNs.. Tides go hard asf. Need to get someone from Australia on the show. Sean McDowell would be great as he designed the TN, he’s doing a trip to my city (Brisbane) & another to Sydney for TNs

[@arthurman6129]

I think the purple and green hue in the lighting is a bit too harsh. I understand that those are the colours of the new set but it’s lighting the hosts’ faces and hands (very anaemic looking) in a very unnatural way. In the long run it’s probably worth tinkering to make the lighting look a little more neutral.

[@cthearamedia]

i like the set but it makes the skin tones kinda green

[@THEsoulquarian]

I got the 4’s from 2019 and prefer them over the leather version. Still think the leather 4’s are dope and definitely going for them.

[@kalbataofficial]

Great new set, color grading is weird, kinda miss the desks. Welcome back 🏆

[@ahkeem_thedream]

1. Not the biggest fan of the new set. Feels too ‘produced’ if you will, and less like I’m dropping in to your work day to hear what you guys are talking about like the old set. The new set feels like you guys are now trying to make a hit tv talk show, which is fine if that’s the goal obviously! 2. Joe I’m totally with you on the magmas. Just got my pair from the beaspunge drop. Brendan and Welty are wrong. As soon as the snow and salt are gone, we getting fits off crazy you heard.

[@wp-theillest1987]

I really couldn’t wait for this….BECAUSE THERE IS NO MORE FSR-we need an hour and 45 mins…..more abt the sneakers tho….I would pay a small fee for that.

[@djlawler9925]

I think the leather Jordan 4 bred are fire. Are they better than the original suades? No but I think they are still a very very good shoe and a must pickup. The leather makes it better for someone who really wears their sneakers, easier to clean and maintain and just looks better worn than suade. And it’s fine if most people don’t like them because then they are easier for me to get more than one pair. Wear what YOU like not what others think are good or not.

[@jesusakakingoftheairmonarc3278]

He said decent cowboy boots are $300! More like $1,000 minimum

[@zanemontego8090]

I’m with Joe with the Magma colorway of the 1906. I was with the Lava one at first but that ruby red midsole just catch my eye more than the silver. IDK how the purchase experience was for you guys on the Spunge website (if you went for them that is). But it left alot of people disappointed and wondering why they didn’t get a password to enter the store. And for those that did say the shoes were sold out while it was in their cart and checking out. 2 days later I found the password in my spam folder SMH and SB said on his IG story that there won’t be a New Balance web store release …utterly ridiculous. My opinion, this shoe drop was worse than the GANNIS 1906. 😮‍💨

[@ahkeem_thedream]

Managed to cop a magma size 12 on site. Had the password from the email but a ton of Twitter sites posted it as well. Password became functional right at 12 pm.

[@zanemontego8090]

@@ahkeem_thedream I found the password from a comment on IG. 20mins later there was only a size 10 left and after one click it was sold out. LOL

[@hiruys]

How many times will Welty say "ubiquitous" this year? Can he break his own record? Start counting.

[@francisfarley2231]

Instead of the plants we need sneakers as the backdrop. And get a different carpet lol

Mustache is gonna be waiting another 5 years minimum for the nubuck pair. Bro Bred 4s are a must cop for me regardless the materials used.

[@Moe_Lester_fromUptwn]

With swoosh? absolutely

[@daymarinkovich]

Old set was better. Specifically the lighting. Also why all the quick jump cuts? Highly edited and an overly done set is not why we like this show. It’s about the conversation. Keep it simple.

[@albertoascari9390]

ONLY LOSERS WITHOUT PERSONALITY BUY FAKES. And it doesn't matter if it's a 7 year old kid... Why it has to be the replica of something else? There are hundreds of options in every brand , always available, hundreds already discounted Why is alright to buy that fakes? Is never alright horrible takes from that guy.. Also what's the hate for puma or Veja... Like I don't understand why you want to see everyone in the same shoes... Horrible takes.

[@chirstophersmith6923]

New sit is def giving between two ferns vibes, I like it tho… Zach Galifianakis come on the show lol

[@wp-theillest1987]

I am super disappointed on this take on the RI J4….that’s a no brainer. That shoe will age crazy (well)….years from now, that shoe will look like a sample. ESP if the leather is done correctly….y’all are bugging, and perhaps out of touch w/the “people”…Complex panel will def have that top 3…esp CK

[@Phamousillday]

The set is nice! However, I could be wrong but I only saw Reebok and Nike shoes, could you guys add other brands?

[@wp-theillest1987]

Need those croc sneakers….I have vowed to never wear crocs…BUT THOSE!….must have

[@BookerT69]

No lie besides air pods the Salehe Croc is one of the best things I’ve ever bought

[@RobDieselll]

on fakes, half the time parents are buying them for their kids cause they themselves are into sneakers and not the kids. Especially considering age its very rare to see a 3rd grader into sneaker culture.

[@nbk978]

No matter the age - paying resell is insane... just get decent reps

[@dalereid4199]

The set is all kinds of wrong. The plants are too small in scale. The arch is 2022 pandemic decor and it’s too small in scale againSlat walls with no purpose. Black chairs when there’s no other substantial black objects in the space. Change it guys get a real designer to do it.

[@sessionsx]

Love the show. But you guys gotta do something about the lighting. Everyone's face was shiny. Look at everyone's nose. Idk couldn't stop seeing it.

[@kimberley6763]

I’m not a fan of the set. A little too retro 70’s for my taste. Also, I like Welty’s takes but, sometimes, he comes across super pretentious and that can be a tad off-putting. Glad you guys are back!

[@netiquinho1]

Damm that's a terrible light setting. And Welty's hipotesis about main stream fashion and music are very strange. The guy really believes his own vision of the world it representes everybody else.

[@CarteWork]

The thing most don't see is. The bred 4 is durabuck which is synthetic nubuck, fake leather. This is the first and maybe the only time these will have real leather. Just talking breds

[@ianc.4092]

I refuse to pay above retail for any pairs, period so I will enjoy the the pair of bred 4sthat was available for me. It looks good on feet and don’t really care about the what others think

[@L0RDCH0P]

Don’t like the new set tbh ❌ Looks like a 90s doctors office. Go back to the clean presentation office style with the desks. Lighting was better on the old set too, it’s too dim.

[@MrMcfly6]

First of all, they are “Black Cement” 4’s. Second of all, the leather pair is better than the original nubuck.

[@sjeverton]

Definitely need complex sneaker spotify lists

[@WilliamScott-u7h]

I love this show, but the new set is making me sleepy. I kinda liked how the old set made me feel like I might be watching the news lol Now it feels like I’m in someone’s basement 😬

Little surprised cos of Matt’s “WWJD?” bracelet that he’s not impressed with how Veja treat their workers and creation. Cos when I think about “What Would Jesus Do?”, jobs of dignity for the working poor and being good to creation, it’s up there, right? Like Matthew 7:12 is what Jesus would do, right?

[@adamneustaedter4820]

The Booker shoe special make-ups remind of when Nike did the Lebron Watch with the Lebron 15. A bunch of special colorways based on famous Nike silos and colorways. It's kind of a corny way to generate a buzz about a sneaker. Doesn't Book have any cool stories to tell on his own shoe?

[@wade_county]

he has a boring personality so this is the only way to generate hype for his shoe. none of those colorways are saving that shoe.

[@rexkicks_270]

The set is not bad I like it but need the lighting to be adjusted ✌🏽

[@RubenSeoane-v2u]

Bred 4s if I’m feeling like JLP. White Cements if I want to do the right thing. Surprised the Military 4s weren’t mentioned on the show when running through Jordan retro releases.

Cool set. Just don’t wear colors that match cause y’all get lost in the decor… Wear different colors to contrast… Add more sneakers to the walls and it’s a wrap…

2024 bred 4s are actually samples from 1989 that never released . jordan wanted something different slightly lighter and went with the durabuck that we all know instead of the tumbled leather we got in the black cement 3s. we had to wait until the air jordan 12s to get older black tumbled leather jordan .

[@mrt10352]

I sold my extra pair of Bred 4's, still have another with 2 wears, they are overrated, crazy as it sounds I'd pick my fire red 4's over the bred's. Even the Lost and Founds are over rated. My 2015 Chicago 1's are my go to every time. Fire shoe!

[@Papertryl]

The undefeated nikes should make the list. I need those.

[@humbereyesmx]

I've noticed Joe never likes to see the outside picture. His opinion is always correct to him. It's 3 of you guys, different inputs should be discussed and not just cut off someone (Welty) for disagreeing. Sometimes the truth hurts, this guy just tries to not get in trouble for speaking the truth about a brand/sneaker. New set looks nice, maybe a little too green.
