Im sure they wanted a plain look with just lil hits of gold like it looks, that's why they left the gold out on the back and removed the tongue tag. Imo they made it perfect, if they put the gold in the back (even tho it wasnt part of the concept) it would look like every other Jordan 4, they just wanted to give it a unique, plain, but premium look. Imo it would throw the look off if they did change anything, everything can be better, but some things are perfect the way they are and dont need no extra. Appreciate your honest review and personal opinion tho, keep it going!!
