Are the Reimagined 'Bred' Air Jordan 4s Any Good? | The Complex Sneakers Show
Is it too early to start talking about the best sneakers of 2024? Absolutely, but that hasn’t stopped people from throwing around that distinction for the “Bred” Air Jordan 4 reimagined, which changes up a classic with a leather makeover. In their comeback episode, co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss the merits of the latest Jordan 4 retro. They also break down the hot year New Balance is already having, the lukewarm reaction to Devin Booker’s first Nike shoe, and the continued proliferation of fake sneakers.

What do you think is the best Air Jordan 4 ever?
bring back Full Size Run!!
I have to say IMHO it's a tie between the Grey KAWS 4 and the Fear 4 from the Fear pack.
Grey Kaws 4 is a strong contender
The entire OG set, Encore Eminem 4's, Tour 4's, UNDFT 4's, Thunder & Lightenings, and Lasers. Best 4's ever
Bred 4s with the nu buck
Set looks nice. But having the shoes be visible in the main shot would be cool
Gonna switch it up a little bit for next week.
Love the set, however colour grading makes it difficult to watch
Hepathitis colourway, JLP hands look weird.
Too much green
Wayyy too much green in the shadows especially. Thought I was the only one
@@mrotaveriaright at the 10min mark they looked ghost white
It looks ok on my iPad but watching it on the big TV everyone and everything has a nasty green tint.
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.
There was nothing wrong with the last set imo. Don't quite understand why it had to change.
Change is good
Change is good to get away from dementia
@@TheOneGuyUKnownot always
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.
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.
The carpet is bad for a sneaker show. Not able to see the sneakers clearly.
The set is good , the carpet is definitely horrendous .its making the set look like a jungle
Need a black “off white” carpet 👍🏼
Matches the atmosphere, I love it. It’s hard to see obvious green shoes but better than a grey concrete flooring
@@ChartistGammonhypebesst
Brandon heard you don’t even worry they gonna have that ovaries changed by the next episode prolly
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.
I agree but the chemistry is peak with these three. Even when their takes aren't as good, the product is quality.
@@JawnNawva one hundred percent on the chemistry.
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
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 🙌🏼
Great new set, color grading is weird, kinda miss the desks. Welcome back 🏆
Welty getting called out in his New Balance D riding is hilarious
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.
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
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.
always happy to see these guys back!! hyped for this season!! 😎🤞
Definitely need complex sneaker spotify lists
Finally, only show that I love from complex finally uploaded!!!
Good take Welty about buying kids real or reps. I must agree that it is not practical to buy kids expensive sneakers.
I agree with Matt when it come to taking away the sneaker of the year, their should be archival picks
Glad to have the show back hope we all have a great year
loving the change of the set. Wishing you guys good luck and good sneakers in the new year!
Love the show guys keep this one alive 💪🏽
So good to have you guys back! dearly missed!!!!
Great podcast !!! Sneaker talk is always a vibe
love the set, would love to see a lot more sneakers though
always happy to see these guys back!! hyped for this season!!
Greatest set for a sneaker show….miss them this holidays
Awesome love the podcast the other energy HAPPY FRIYAYY!!!
lol Welty knew them Taylor lyrics without hesitation. Good job playing it off . Good show you guys .
Yo…thank God you guys back…love the new set and you guys are GOATS…that’s it before I get emotional.
I’m crying from happiness. I was just wondering about this show yesterday
AJ4 Reimagined blows the OG away. Plain & simple.
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!
Matt Welty: this generation's Urban Cowboy
The undefeated nikes should make the list. I need those.
Can you please add a framed picture of Welty in a fitted?
I am beyond grateful to see & hear you gents in 2024!
I like that the set kinda has the full size run set feel !! I seen that coming!! Good start to the new year though
Can we get Zach Galifianakis as the first special guest on the new between two ferns set
you guys are busy enough but taking this show on the road and making it like a 2 hour show just talking about sneakers would be super awesome! im such a fan guys!
Hope we can do that some day-would love to pop out to different cities.
This platform is dope and I’m happy with the new changes. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN
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.
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. 😮💨
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.
@@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
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.
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
@Complex @ Matt Welty - come down to the Houston Rodeo in March!
Glad to have you guys back. I’d say maybe add more sneakers in the background behind JLP. Maybe on top of the foliage and on the sides. Maybe special pairs from each of you.
Glad they’re back!!!!!
The only shoe podcast that matters! Best Wishes Gentlemen!
ngl I miss Trinidad James
Dang took over the FSR set 😢love the set tho 💯
Welty quoting Delicate (Taylor’s Version) was not on my 2024 bingo card but I’m so here for it !!
I like the new set. That green, purple & wood frame on the walls definitely a clean look. Idea here..I was wondering if you all ever thought of bringing on a fan to interview on The Complex Sneakers Show?? I think it will be pretty cool. Of course I volunteer to be the 1st! Let's make it happen 🙏🏾!
The new set looks great guys. More causal setup, like it!
The boot talk was a surprise for me. Can't wait for the whole crew to have a full boot cam at least for one episode. My personal recommendation would be a pair of Tecovas.
new set looks crispy. love it!
I loved the speed cats. Come on.
this is great, i miss trinidad & the editor but i love la puma too
Matt and Brendan's Fortnite bit at the end was gold. JLP to Matt: "You think if people go to a Travis show it's like playing Fortnite?" Brendan: "You've never even played Fortnite, buddy!" Matt, trying to answer Joe's question: "The other day, over the weekend, I was..." Brendan: "Playing Fortnite?" 🤣🤣🤣 - so glad these guys are back!
The set looks vintage Welty with the outfit to go with it
Joe with the flex of the watch.
I like the set. Gonna grab the reimagined breds. I live in rainy PNW this ones for us 😊
The boys are back in town!
JLP between two monstera. Great to see everyone back. IMO I might need one pair of reimagined black cement iv
Pancakes are good for you. All syrup set aside, would be sweet to see some cool LEDs in the set backdrop. Also, the reimagined black cements are amazing quality surprisingly. I remember trekking around in Europe with my 2012 Bred 4s 10 years ago. Loved the nubuck ones, but not mad at the leather pair at all!
finally back baby
Welty probably out here listening to Creed and Nickelback
The set is not bad I like it but need the lighting to be adjusted ✌🏽
Sneaker of the year over here it’s the military blue 4s no doubt 💎 thanks for all the great content guys! Keep doing what you do
Re watching after I hit on the breds on SNKRS ❤
Shoutout Matthew J Welty
Can you please add a pic of Welty’s jumper in background?
completely agree with whelty on travis schott
Need those croc sneakers….I have vowed to never wear crocs…BUT THOSE!….must have
No lie besides air pods the Salehe Croc is one of the best things I’ve ever bought
Nice set guys..
That's wrong, I love the Puma Mostro. I just both both colorways that released on the 13th. I hope PUMA re-releases the RPT & Urban Downhill too. Come on guys, show Puma love. They make some great shoes!
THANK U GOD!!! U GUYS ARE BACK!!!! I WLD LOVE TO MEET YALL!!! APPRECIATE U GUYS!!
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.
we back baby!!
Instead of the plants we need sneakers as the backdrop. And get a different carpet lol
Shout outs from Welty to the Texas king of country George straight, never would have guessed that Welty listens to country music
i like the set but it makes the skin tones kinda green
OG BREAD 4S IT LEGENDARY 💯🔥🔥
I dig the Answer 5s & the Shaqnosis Boks. Team Reebok
No matter the age - paying resell is insane... just get decent reps
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.
With swoosh? absolutely
Love the colors of the new set. Keep it up with the plant presence.
Military blacks are dope. Just wore mine today.
Welty is definitely the JJJound guy
need a pair of retired j's hanging on the wall from the laces. also lots of wall space to feature some rotating artists.
I’m here to hear about this Salehe 1906 release
ubiquitous - Big Matt Welty Vocab word
Set looks nice. Dim lighting is weird.
He said decent cowboy boots are $300! More like $1,000 minimum
The set is nice! However, I could be wrong but I only saw Reebok and Nike shoes, could you guys add other brands?
I appreciate the foliage on the set the carpet like others have mentioned is tough for sneakers.
I think the set should either look alike a back storage room of a sneaker store, or a custom sneaker set up like where you can sew your sneakers and paint them. I think it would be interesting to have a guest do a little custom sneaker when they come on there also while you guys are talking.
If Matt wasn't on the pod I doubt I'd still watch. I love he's since of humor😂
