The Drop
The Jordan 4 Retro SE "Paris Olympics Wet Cement" (FQ7928-001) rolled out as part of Nike's 2024 Olympic celebration, channeling the iconic cement-print aesthetic through a sleek monochrome lens. Designed to honor Paris as the host city, this SE variant swaps the classic speckled midsole for a tonal grey treatment that's equal parts sophisticated and street-ready. It's a Olympic-year exclusive that leans into heritage while keeping things frisch genug for the modern rotation.
Resell Verdict
Currently trading around $325, this one's holding steady in the $248–$624 ask range with 143 weekly orders—solid volume for a recent drop. The Olympic tie-in gave it initial hype, but resell's leveling out as supply catches up with demand. Not a moonshot flip, but a reliable mover if you copped at retail; margins are decent for patient sellers willing to wait for post-hype scarcity to kick in.
Fake Tells
- ▸Midsole speckling: Reps botch the wet cement texture—authentic pairs show subtle, irregular speckle distribution, not uniform spray-paint effect
- ▸Jumpman stitching: Check the tongue and heel tab for clean, tight threadwork; fakes often have sloppy or misaligned logos
- ▸Box label: FQ7928-001 SKU must match across box, size tag, and inner label—counterfeiters frequently misprint or use generic Jordan 4 boxes
Who It's For
Perfect for collectors chasing Olympic exclusives and wearers who want OG Jordan 4 DNA without the loud colorblocking. Works best as a versatile beater that dresses up grey joggers or tones down louder fits.
Sizing & Fit
True to size for most, though the leather upper can feel snug out the box—common wisdom is to go up half if you've got wider feet.
