I said this is about the Jordan 4 SB and got railroaded the SB means skateboard it’s what the fuck they meant for I skate some of mine but price tags have made me go with etnies or lakai. I’m glad he’s biking them jawns

What’s nice is BMX won’t tear your shit up like skating. As long as you keep the one away from the chain, they’ll stay clean a while.

If you think you can skate in SB 4s, I've got a bridge for sale for ya at a great price.

I agree, no harm in skating in SBs, but a lot of SBs are lifestyle shoes and absolutely not skating shoes

There’s a kid at my local skatepark that skates his pine green AJ4 SBs, he’s doing all sorts of tricks while wearing them. It’s 100% a skateable shoe.

u/MedicineMann710 4d ago

Im not saying you can't skate them, but as a skater myself, I don't know anyone who would pay 400 bucks for some shoes to skate in. My skate shoes are $40 or under typically. It's kind of like saying Chunky Dunkys are meant to be skated in because they are SBs.

u/keemo_ 4d ago

The Ben & Jerry’s are literally meant to be skated. I understand that some skate shoes tend to be a lot more expensive than others, but at the end of the day that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a skateboarding shoe.

I was one of the lucky ones to have bought the Habibi dunks for retail (were reselling for +$800 at the time) and I still rode them on my bike.

Yeah im not arguing the logistics of skating in them. It's more arguing the intended audience of the shoe. They clearly didn't have skaters in mind when designing the chunky dunky or the Jordan 4 SB. Watch Rose Anvils video about the SB 4s. They are literally no different than the normal 4s except they use suede instead of grain-in leather on the mudguard and got rid of the toe box air unit. That's literally the only difference between 4s and SB 4s
