Hello, you can definitely recommend the Air Jordan 4 Retro Bred Reimagined 2024, do they run smaller or bigger? At least real leather like my Reebok Omni Zone "Deep Brown"
I thought I was the only one, bro I regret buying those in a 9. My big toe and pinky toe are in hell when I wear those but my black cat 4s in the same 9 feel way more comfortable just weird.
The design of Air Jordan 4s are awesome, but I do agree that the comfort varies depending on the model name. That is the thing the Jordan brand needs to focus on is being consistent with the shoe sizes and comfortability.
This is so validating. So i’m not the only one experiencing a different fit and experience within the same model but different colorways. My theory was the material always has something to do with it.
Agree about the Crafts (both the White Photons and Olive Greens) , folks always trying to talk smack about the big J4 crafts but outside of the j4 Pine Greens and the Reimagined Breds, the Crafts one of the best J4s for comfortability. I'd even add wearability for their neutral colors
Reimagined 4s are all day shoes and that blew my mind. I only intended to be out for a few hours, ended up wearing them for about 13 hours and was perfectly fine. Never would have thought it possible with an AJ4.
I am not into yellow shoes much but the first yellow Jordans looks great! Also, I think it’s ultimately what you are wearing that works and compliment every pair of shoes. The mid grey hoody and socks with the dark green sweat pants.
The older I’m getting, the more Jordans are starting to kill my feet! I wore my university blue 4’s for the first time in a while the other day and damn near screamed after wearing them for 2.5 hours. Shits crazy! Reimagined 4’s don’t feel too bad on feet so far tho.
This is the best Jordan 4 video ive seen. i literally spent my entire weekend breaking in my 2024 Reimagined 4s, and thought to myself. "My gad, these are killing my feet" lol. Ive got a toro and green glow 4s as well, and those are even more uncomfortable! Make it make sense! Great job on the vid Eddie!
The amount of variations we’ve had over the past couple decades, as far as the silhouette for the Air Jordan 4 has been crazy. The best pairs in my opinion are the recent sb/reimagined or the ‘99 silhouette
My oldest daughter got my the Laser 4 with gum soles. People forgot about that shoe but wore them daily for roughly 8 hrs to work and 5 yrs later they are still comfortable, they just crease a little plus I'm a 10 and she got those in a 10 1/2 and got me the 13 Cap and Gown (which I traded for the Ray Allen, couldn't do the patent leather on the side panels)...great video as always my guy...
Thank goodness Jordan Brand is taking after the SB 4's shape and comfort-wise for upcoming J4s. I don't care if it ain't accurate to the OG shape, as long as the fit feels right AND comfy like those then I'm good. That removal for better foam (Weartesters confirmed someone from Jordan Brand confirmed this was the case) instead of the usual forefoot air unit on the SB 4s really made that shoe.
Man, you’re absolutely right. Although I don’t think any 4s are comfortable. Sizing is and always has been all over the place on these things. You ever have midsoles crumble on 4s, or do they stay okay as long as you wear them a couple times a year?
Depends on the climate! I’m in Southeast Asia and the climate is unforgiving due to humidity. People who haven’t worn their 2018 bred 3s or 2019 breds 4s are now seeing crumbling.
Glad I saw ur vid. I actually started grabbing 4s again just recently starting with the craft olive and then the bred 4 RIs. Was considering going back for some older pairs but now I think I’m just gonna look forward and stick with the newer shape/fit. 😉
I think it’s a quality control issue and it varies from sneaker to sneaker. Because my Lightenings are some of the most comfortable shoes I own. My UNC 4’s are the worst most uncomfortable pair in my collection.
I was bout to say the same thing. I believe it just varies on different pairs of 4's while going through production cause all my 4's are comfortable tts, my least and only 1 might be the "What The Four" and it's not that bad.
so glad they’re using the SB 4 shape for all 4’s going forward. bought the red cements when they came out and they’re unbearable, then i got the reimagined breds and it’s a night and day difference. cant wait for my military blues to come in
You sneakers looks brand new man.. How do you keep them so clean. I guess you rotate a lot? Loving the lace swap on the 2019 bred 4's btw. For me, the worse pair of 4's I own (comfort wise) are the AMM. Those are pinky toe killers. And the best for me are Sb's, bred's, olive and purple canyon.
Man Win you was rt on point I love 4s but tbh I rarely rock my 4s if they make em like the pine green 4s that would change the 4s are so ingrained in my past from the spike lee commercials with Mike just brings back so many good memories 👍🏾 keep bringing the quality content ✌🏾
jordan 4s are probably the most uncomfortable ive ever worn, which is why I own 0 pairs of them. I had military blacks and just gave them to my brother. Love how you showcase the mid sole cushion. I just stick to my 3s and 11s. That's it lol
The exact same story with me & 4’s.. Have been a rollercoaster ride for years.. Every 4 I’ve had, I’ve sold.. The most uncomfortable Jordan.. Midnight Navy, wore them for hours at a party, stayed to a friends house, Put them on the next morning to go home & feet were crying.. Sold that day.. These 2024 Breds are comfortable.. ‘15 Oreo’s were comfortable.. Recent Fire Red were uncomfortable
I had the Valentine’s Day joints. It’s a sacrifice to wear because of the pain. I also have the fire red with spike on em. I keep them to sell because I’m afraid of them. I’ve avoided 4s for years but it sounds like they’re turning it around at the right time because those last 3 you showed are the best looking pairs I’ve seen… and I want em!
Red Thunders were super narrow too. I went up half a size and they still squeeze my pinkie toe. Bread reimagined I went true to size and they feel fine. Fingers crossed the Military Blue's and Fears keep that same slightly wider shape.
I'm a J4 guy myself and I have some of those pairs and I don't mind wearing most of them for an extended period of time. Usually I'm not doing a ton of walking in them though. Def my favorite Jordan style out of them all. I just get the same size with all of them and I'm good.
The first time I tried on a pair of 4s was in store at foot locker when the Motorsport 4s dropped way back when. I got my tts 10.5 and my feet were in agony, I remember loving the color way but I wasnt sold on the model yet, I sent them back and they brought out a size 11 and it was a lot better. I have no idea why nike and jordan tie shoes so tight out of the factory, or maybe I just have a tall foot, but loosing up those laces can affect the fit a lot. in 4s im going up a half size from now on, even the new ones. And I was able to cop half size up on Bred Reimagines for retail and they are gucci!
I’ve loved 4s for so long. When I finally got a pair years later I was jus so happy to have them, the thought of them being uncomfy never crossed my mind lol
I finally bought a shoe stretcher, Wow, it’s made a huge difference… practically no shoe is uncomfortable now- some of them have moveable pods you can move around to concentrate on certain parts of the sneaker..
@@victorgonzalez7258 jus went on Amazon, they had about 5-6 there.. I went w one of the better ones bet $25-50 but it’s a game changer.. especially w sneakers like SBs and 4s
I always go half a size down in Jordans but didn't for the breds because I have to go true to size in Air Flight 89. I got the new breds in my true size and they fit perfectly. I do find the '89 more comfortable. Because the collar is more padded.
That lace swap is tight bro! And I definitely hear you on the shrinking fit over the years. I had the Military Blues and the OG Lightnings back in 2006 -- and some White/Cements in 2011 I think? Also the Cavaliers in 2012... and the red Toros - All size 11.5 or 12. I grabbed the 2019 Breds in a 12.5 -- and they fit like 12s. All that said: the Toros are the only ones that I remember being actually comfortable. Everything else pinched across my forefoot...or dug into my achilles w/ the heel tab.This video is thorough! Peace.
The Bred Reimagined 4's are my 1st pair of Jordan 4's and I was a little worried about going true to size but it was super comfy. I really want to get the PIne Green's now. Thanks alot for the history lesson, it really helped me out. I have 1's and 3's and say that the 3's and 4's are pretty comfortable to me for the most part. Now wearing them for more them for about 6 hours in a different story. It's time for a little break at that point. ha ha. I would like to know what your most comfortable 1's are. Nice content!
Should look at the euro sizing instead of us. Much more precise. 11 and 12 are so subjective. Never the same size from brand to brand and even within the same brand. Great hoodie, what is it?
I agree, my Pine Green SB’s are like you’re not even wearing a pair of 4’s, so comfy. My Reimagined Bred’s are close behind, followed by my Photon Dust Craft’s. After that, my Military Black, Red Cement, & Thunder’s are all really rough on the pinky toes. The thing that helps me with those is to actually wear a thinner pair of socks.
Sizing is definitely all over the place. The black canvas 4s run extremely small to the point I sold them. Red thunder 4s also run small but not as bad as the black canvas.
AJ4/SB Pine I have daily used for more than 20-25km. like any of my other casual sneakers. Yes they are a bit heavier but overall on feet comfort is very good, no tightness or pinching of the pinky/big toes. Even on hot 38C degree here in Oz, the sneaker is tolerable in dry/humid weather. They are as comfortable as any AJ3's or Air Trainer 1's which have a low cut booty-like design.
Wow, kinda surprised you find the lightning 4’s uncomfortable. I’m an 11.5 and kinda have the same build and I find my pair on the roomier side. I think the most uncomfortable pairs for me are the thunders, red thunders (pinky toe killers), black cats, cool greys and fire reds. The breds, the metallic pack, and almost every 4 that came out afterwards definitely run more true to size and have a roomier fit.
This is a spot-on video for the Jordan 4s. Got rid of the Thunders immediately, kept the Lightnings. Bred 4 2019 is OK. Military Blacks hurt my pinky toes so bad, I just chucked them somewhere. I have the SBs and now new Breds. Gotta say, the new BREDs feel way more comfortable and I went down 1/2 size b/c that's what was available on SNKRS. The one sneaker that was really comfortable to me was the Green Glow 4s from 2012.
Great sizing video! It’s unfortunate Jordans are as expensive as they are, many times are limited, and the sizing is a rollercoaster. This video is an eye opener to all the other videos saying Jordan 4s are always TTS 🥴
I’ve literally heard the only comfortable 4s in history are the SBs, BRED Reimagined, and the Craft 4 Olives. Some people even claim the Olives are more comfortable than the BRED Reimagined due to having softer materials.
I love the Lightnings, bought a pair as I was just starting my Jordan journey. I'm in between a 12.5 and a 13, normally a 12.5 in lows and a 13 in highs, and it was my first pair of 4s. I got it in a 12.5 and damn it, they are practically unwearable for me. Of course I have worn them and suffered, cause sometimes fire brings pain, but I will eventually have to get a 13 and retire the 12.5. Love the SB4s though, those I could wear all day.
Thanks for this video. Actually worthwhile information. I have almost all of them but I’m interested in the Thunder/Lightning pack and now it looks like I must go up to sz15.
4s hurt my heat and i felt the pinching on the bone of my big toe. I recently sold my unc4 and white oreo's maybe a year ago. But while i had both in my collection I owned a pair of black military 4s and man i regret letting those go bc that pinching/rubbing against my big toe was gone. The military blks were such a beauitful shoe too. Now i lowkey want to cop the olive crafts.
Love the video bro. All I can tell is that my Green Glows from 2012 are more comfortable than the Breds from 2019. However, the Breds from this year are a huge upgrade and surely one of the more comfortable Jordan 4s. The Jordan 3 does ist best in my opinion.
Thought i was crazy, every pair of 4's i have is sized different. Have to either go up or down half a size. Sucks ordering online cause you never know what youre going to get
All my older 4s from 2012 are sz10.5 I’m an sz10 I get 10.5 for lil space for my toes to breathe fit is perfect I never had an issue with my feet hurting. The lightings I got both sz10 & 10.5 them things hurt my feet so bad I sold both shoes. The Travis Scott’s 4 sz10.5 no problem I just got the breds that came out last week sz10 the best fit with comfort. To me. This shoe size over the yrs all over the place. Pure madness. This is why I wear Kobe’s & running shoes mainly now. Lol
most retros are uncomfortable. the tech wasnt there compared to nowadays. a good insole replacement does wonders. once i put an insole in there, it could rock them all day. also the white laces on the bred 4s look nice. i always used a black or grey lace, but the white, i might have to try.
I never owned a pair of 4s until last year because of how i always heard they were the most uncomfortable and even passed on past raffle wins like the Military Blacks. I finally bought a pair which were the SB 4s and then grabbed a pair of Columbias as well. Still havent pulled the plug to wear the SBs but my Columbias and Reimagined breds are both ok as far as comfort but definitely feel different. I switched the insoles in the Columbias to a dr Scholes sole but agree that i probably could of sized up a half to an 11.5 but no real complaints
Honestly when I first started buying Jordans I was bit iffy on the 4s. They have great colors but the shaping always threw me off the more I looked at pictures of them. This is the reason why I skipped out on the olives at the last second. And of course there's the pinching problem that everyone talks about as well. Fortunately I won a pair of the reimagined breds in my size from the shock drop. I entered but I was indifferent about winning. The only reason I did enter was because I heard they would have a similar build to the SB 4s and that they weren't nubuck. After wearing these I have to say that they're now my favorite shoes to wear out. They're extremely comfortable. Now will I buy any more 4s? Probably not. The sizing is too unpredictable as shown in this video. I count myself lucky for getting a pair that fit true to size. My favorite Jordans are 7s and it sucks that I cant ever wear them for more than a couple hours because they're always so narrow.
They decently comfy if they are broken in and it's a pair with soft materials like suede or soft leather. My super beat 2016 white cements are very comfy actually and the Travis 4s with the soft suede were also comfy. Models like the 6s or 11s are way more unfomfortable than 4s. Also I feel you on the size 11,8 lol. I'm usually a 9 but if a shoe fits even slightly big I rather go for an 8,5. I hate it with a passion if I got too much room in the toebox
I have the union guava ice 4s. Maybe my fav 4s collab.. but I got them in TTS so I can barely wear them for a couple of hours before the pinching begins. Lesson learned - I’m definitely going a half size up on the Military Blue 4s this May.
First Jordan pair I every bought was the 2021 lightning. I had the same issue as you, pinching on my right pinky toe. Thought it was all 4s since the 1s I bought after are way more comfortable. Thanks for the video.
I can't even wear my Yellow Thunders. Brutal. Top of my toes getting pinched. Pinky toes getting rubbed raw. Something under the "lace wing" is digging into my lower instep. Most of my 4s hurt. Uncomfortable. I sold a bunch of them. Buttttt...I recently copped the women's Sulfur. WTF!!! Feels like my SBs!!! Go figure.
I recently got my first pair of Aj4's, the Ama, and they are pretty solid. I've worn them all day twice now and they aren't bad, I would probably go up a half size though, they are a bit snug from the extra padding.
Do gotta point out the UNC 4s first pair I had pinching. I cannot wear them due to the pain I experienced. Now I do have a lot Jordan 4s I rarely had pain but them UNC’s I just cannot
Also the insoles affect it slightly as well, jordan brand has like 4 or 5 different types of insoles, ranging from ortholite foam which compresses and bottoms out hella fast, to the dreamcell stuff we have seen recently that is a little more durable, and just an actually polyurethane insole, which are the best and takes the longest to bottom out. You never know which insole they are going to put into a given release, some times a collab has the worst insole they offer, then some times a mass GR has the polyurethane one, the comfort unfortunately is always a little different.
I know shape is important but i am oretty sure the insles are different on each of these. The SB 4s have zoom insoles like sb dunks have so they would definitely be comfortable
To me the most comfortable I have are the thunders, got half size up for sure and I have bit wide with mid-high arch feet. I dont know if I have the other factory on SB 4's, but mine aint even that comfortable (I just tried on tho)... its softer, maybe that's why people say it is, it has soft leather, almost like a designer sneaker calf skin. The padding inside makes em narrow and the layer(s) of leather on the side. Plus the side pieces at the end of the laces make the materials pull together, even sometimes lacing em loose it stays narrow Im not sure, but I feel like if u have flat feet is more uncomfortable because u feel the sides easier, because your feet being flat touches the midsole closer (almost feeling under side material more) If u have a normal mid wide feet with high arch, I think its the most comfortable, not sure if a too high arch will work, but with my mid-high arch it works half size up, cause it just fits fine and if its padding above it stretches overtime probably cause of the mesh/netting I would only go tts if u have narrow feet, even some people with normal feet should go up half size imo and imo if the shoe need to be full size up unless it has huarache (even and my only 1.5 size up), jordan 9 or like yeezy materials I wouldnt recommend buying, cause the heel slippage gonna ruin the whole fit eventually
The OG's that Mike wore on court and that were also in stores were way more comfortable than the retros we get today. I'd say the Sb's and the reimagined 4s are closer to how the OG's felt in terms of comfort.
On the 2024 bred 4s I actually should have went down a half size.. compared to my 8.5 size thunder yellows. I noticed they seem to run big. But that's just me .. I hear other people say go up wit the bred 4 2024
Here’s how I styled my Bred 4’s if you need some ideas or inspiration ua-cam.com/video/DvMCEdWQzfQ/v-deo.htmlsi=JZokoYeWriE0FfdT
What are those track pants you’re wearing in this video? 🔥🔥🔥
Hello, you can definitely recommend the Air Jordan 4 Retro Bred Reimagined 2024, do they run smaller or bigger? At least real leather like my Reebok Omni Zone "Deep Brown"
Let me just say, best Jordan 4 review on sizing.
Definitely
Agreed. No one does this.
He shoes are
So expensive and so uncomfortable smh
The most uncomfortable 4 is the 2020 Fire Reds, absolutely brutal.
They should be outlawed in most states, I put mine in a basket and sent them down the river
Yup as soon as I tried them on I put them up for sale immediately lol I love them for the og factor but if I can't wear them they gotta go lol
Man my fire reds had me thinking feet grew
I thought I was the only one, bro I regret buying those in a 9. My big toe and pinky toe are in hell when I wear those but my black cat 4s in the same 9 feel way more comfortable just weird.
Same, killed the top of my feet, don't have many pairs of 4s (new breds and white oreo/cement) love a Chicago colourway so was gutted to sell them on
The design of Air Jordan 4s are awesome, but I do agree that the comfort varies depending on the model name. That is the thing the Jordan brand needs to focus on is being consistent with the shoe sizes and comfortability.
This is so validating. So i’m not the only one experiencing a different fit and experience within the same model but different colorways.
My theory was the material always has something to do with it.
Agree. I have the same issue with dunk low as well. It's the same style but the comfort is so vastly different from one dunk low to another.
Agree about the Crafts (both the White Photons and Olive Greens) , folks always trying to talk smack about the big J4 crafts but outside of the j4 Pine Greens and the Reimagined Breds, the Crafts one of the best J4s for comfortability. I'd even add wearability for their neutral colors
I wonder if it’s the suede. The joker 4s are super comfortable too.
Reimagined 4s are all day shoes and that blew my mind. I only intended to be out for a few hours, ended up wearing them for about 13 hours and was perfectly fine. Never would have thought it possible with an AJ4.
I've seen a lot of videos about the size of the Jordan 4, but this is the best I've seen so far
THE GREATEST JORDAN 4 VIDEO EVER!! HANDS DOWN 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I am not into yellow shoes much but the first yellow Jordans looks great! Also, I think it’s ultimately what you are wearing that works and compliment every pair of shoes. The mid grey hoody and socks with the dark green sweat pants.

I'm only 27 but I actually noticed that I tend to prefer more stable shoes the older I get over super cushioned stuff
I gave up on 4s. Sold every pair I had. Didn’t have time for the guessing games on sizes.
Same. I hated to do it. 4s were my favorite silhouette by far but my comfort comes first
I changed the soles to a dr scholls float on air insert. 🔥🔥
This is a great video. People dont like to go into sizing too much as its subjective to a point. But details of the issues is relatable to others 👏
This is the best Jordan 4 video ive seen. i literally spent my entire weekend breaking in my 2024 Reimagined 4s, and thought to myself. "My gad, these are killing my feet" lol. Ive got a toro and green glow 4s as well, and those are even more uncomfortable! Make it make sense! Great job on the vid Eddie!
I rocked the thunders to Disneyland last year. My dawgs were BARKING
The amount of variations we’ve had over the past couple decades, as far as the silhouette for the Air Jordan 4 has been crazy. The best pairs in my opinion are the recent sb/reimagined or the ‘99 silhouette
Very helpful. 2024 Breds are extremely comfortable.

Not really…the pull tab sometimes cuts the back of my foot

You always doing the much needed videos on Jordan’s!!! Much gratitude!!! And the pain that us sneaker lovers go through to experience our nostalgia!!
It's about time someone said it! Wore my Taupe's once... and that was enough for me.
so glad they’re using the SB 4 shape for all 4’s going forward. bought the red cements when they came out and they’re unbearable, then i got the reimagined breds and it’s a night and day difference. cant wait for my military blues to come in
The thunder 4’s are the worst.. The midnight navys and red cements I could wear all day tho.
You sneakers looks brand new man.. How do you keep them so clean. I guess you rotate a lot? Loving the lace swap on the 2019 bred 4's btw.
For me, the worse pair of 4's I own (comfort wise) are the AMM. Those are pinky toe killers. And the best for me are Sb's, bred's, olive and purple canyon.
Deadass facts! My most cozy 4’s are definitely the SB’s
Man Win you was rt on point I love 4s but tbh I rarely rock my 4s if they make em like the pine green 4s that would change the 4s are so ingrained in my past from the spike lee commercials with Mike just brings back so many good memories 👍🏾 keep bringing the quality content ✌🏾

That’s the weird thing about 4s. On the outside it looks like it should never pinch on the inside.
Great content as always. 💪🏾

From my collection ... the best are the SBs by far. The worst are the A Ma Maniere.

I finally bought a shoe stretcher, Wow, it’s made a huge difference… practically no shoe is uncomfortable now- some of them have moveable pods you can move around to concentrate on certain parts of the sneaker..
Where did u get the shoe stretcher from bro?
@@victorgonzalez7258 jus went on Amazon, they had about 5-6 there.. I went w one of the better ones bet $25-50 but it’s a game changer.. especially w sneakers like SBs and 4s
I always go half a size down in Jordans but didn't for the breds because I have to go true to size in Air Flight 89.
I got the new breds in my true size and they fit perfectly.
I do find the '89 more comfortable. Because the collar is more padded.
Ive owned 4s since 1999, 10.5 since then with 0 issues, about a pinky width of room at the end. Has never changed for me. Weird
Bro this is what I was talking about.living comments to other UA-camrs thank you homie.
That lace swap is tight bro! And I definitely hear you on the shrinking fit over the years. I had the Military Blues and the OG Lightnings back in 2006 -- and some White/Cements in 2011 I think? Also the Cavaliers in 2012... and the red Toros - All size 11.5 or 12. I grabbed the 2019 Breds in a 12.5 -- and they fit like 12s. All that said: the Toros are the only ones that I remember being actually comfortable. Everything else pinched across my forefoot...or dug into my achilles w/ the heel tab.This video is thorough! Peace.
I don’t like a lot bit this I have to give my positive feedback! Thanks for the rough honesty, I was wondering if I was getting crazy..
I feel like my Jordan 4 read cements are the most uncomfortable, and they came out 2023.. i almost stopped buying 4s
The Bred Reimagined 4's are my 1st pair of Jordan 4's and I was a little worried about going true to size but it was super comfy. I really want to get the PIne Green's now. Thanks alot for the history lesson, it really helped me out. I have 1's and 3's and say that the 3's and 4's are pretty comfortable to me for the most part. Now wearing them for more them for about 6 hours in a different story. It's time for a little break at that point. ha ha. I would like to know what your most comfortable 1's are. Nice content!
Should look at the euro sizing instead of us. Much more precise. 11 and 12 are so subjective. Never the same size from brand to brand and even within the same brand. Great hoodie, what is it?
I agree, my Pine Green SB’s are like you’re not even wearing a pair of 4’s, so comfy. My Reimagined Bred’s are close behind, followed by my Photon Dust Craft’s. After that, my Military Black, Red Cement, & Thunder’s are all really rough on the pinky toes. The thing that helps me with those is to actually wear a thinner pair of socks.
Sizing is definitely all over the place. The black canvas 4s run extremely small to the point I sold them. Red thunder 4s also run small but not as bad as the black canvas.
AJ4/SB Pine I have daily used for more than 20-25km. like any of my other casual sneakers. Yes they are a bit heavier but overall on feet comfort is very good, no tightness or pinching of the pinky/big toes. Even on hot 38C degree here in Oz, the sneaker is tolerable in dry/humid weather. They are as comfortable as any AJ3's or Air Trainer 1's which have a low cut booty-like design.
I loved the “LS columbia” and the most recent “Pure moneys”
Wow, kinda surprised you find the lightning 4’s uncomfortable. I’m an 11.5 and kinda have the same build and I find my pair on the roomier side. I think the most uncomfortable pairs for me are the thunders, red thunders (pinky toe killers), black cats, cool greys and fire reds. The breds, the metallic pack, and almost every 4 that came out afterwards definitely run more true to size and have a roomier fit.
Just got the Wet Cements as my first Jordans. Should've went half a size up, they're pretty narrow for wide feet.
I'm glad I got the reimagined 4s. My first J4s ever.
This is a spot-on video for the Jordan 4s. Got rid of the Thunders immediately, kept the Lightnings. Bred 4 2019 is OK. Military Blacks hurt my pinky toes so bad, I just chucked them somewhere. I have the SBs and now new Breds. Gotta say, the new BREDs feel way more comfortable and I went down 1/2 size b/c that's what was available on SNKRS.
The one sneaker that was really comfortable to me was the Green Glow 4s from 2012.
Raptor 4s and Fiba 4s
Great sizing video! It’s unfortunate Jordans are as expensive as they are, many times are limited, and the sizing is a rollercoaster. This video is an eye opener to all the other videos saying Jordan 4s are always TTS 🥴
I’ve literally heard the only comfortable 4s in history are the SBs, BRED Reimagined, and the Craft 4 Olives. Some people even claim the Olives are more comfortable than the BRED Reimagined due to having softer materials.
I love the Lightnings, bought a pair as I was just starting my Jordan journey. I'm in between a 12.5 and a 13, normally a 12.5 in lows and a 13 in highs, and it was my first pair of 4s. I got it in a 12.5 and damn it, they are practically unwearable for me. Of course I have worn them and suffered, cause sometimes fire brings pain, but I will eventually have to get a 13 and retire the 12.5. Love the SB4s though, those I could wear all day.
Ive got same problem with lightning. What size are you running with SB4s?
@pjespluto I wear a size 13 in those. At this point I pretty much get a size 13 in everything, unless it's a dunk low or a J1 low
@@Silver_ghost_ss What about j 3s?
@pjespluto usually 13 in those too, though I do have the pine greens in a 12.5. They are fine for a while but still not an all day shoe for me
Thanks for this video. Actually worthwhile information. I have almost all of them but I’m interested in the Thunder/Lightning pack and now it looks like I must go up to sz15.
4s hurt my heat and i felt the pinching on the bone of my big toe. I recently sold my unc4 and white oreo's maybe a year ago. But while i had both in my collection I owned a pair of black military 4s and man i regret letting those go bc that pinching/rubbing against my big toe was gone. The military blks were such a beauitful shoe too. Now i lowkey want to cop the olive crafts.
Love the video bro. All I can tell is that my Green Glows from 2012 are more comfortable than the Breds from 2019. However, the Breds from this year are a huge upgrade and surely one of the more comfortable Jordan 4s. The Jordan 3 does ist best in my opinion.
Agree 3s all day
Thought i was crazy, every pair of 4's i have is sized different. Have to either go up or down half a size. Sucks ordering online cause you never know what youre going to get
All my older 4s from 2012 are sz10.5 I’m an sz10
I get 10.5 for lil space for my toes to breathe fit is perfect I never had an issue with my feet hurting.
The lightings I got both sz10 & 10.5 them things hurt my feet so bad I sold both shoes.
The Travis Scott’s 4 sz10.5 no problem
I just got the breds that came out last week sz10 the best fit with comfort.
To me.
This shoe size over the yrs all over the place.
Pure madness.
This is why I wear Kobe’s & running shoes mainly now.
Lol
most retros are uncomfortable. the tech wasnt there compared to nowadays. a good insole replacement does wonders. once i put an insole in there, it could rock them all day. also the white laces on the bred 4s look nice. i always used a black or grey lace, but the white, i might have to try.
Where are those green sweats from?
Those are the Everlane joints. They're actually on sale right now pimp.
I had a pair of J4 Winter Edition. Very confortable, true size and versatile
The blue pair?
I never owned a pair of 4s until last year because of how i always heard they were the most uncomfortable and even passed on past raffle wins like the Military Blacks. I finally bought a pair which were the SB 4s and then grabbed a pair of Columbias as well. Still havent pulled the plug to wear the SBs but my Columbias and Reimagined breds are both ok as far as comfort but definitely feel different. I switched the insoles in the Columbias to a dr Scholes sole but agree that i probably could of sized up a half to an 11.5 but no real complaints
Got the 2019s and 2024 breds, the comfort factor has increased immensely
Honestly when I first started buying Jordans I was bit iffy on the 4s. They have great colors but the shaping always threw me off the more I looked at pictures of them. This is the reason why I skipped out on the olives at the last second. And of course there's the pinching problem that everyone talks about as well. Fortunately I won a pair of the reimagined breds in my size from the shock drop. I entered but I was indifferent about winning. The only reason I did enter was because I heard they would have a similar build to the SB 4s and that they weren't nubuck. After wearing these I have to say that they're now my favorite shoes to wear out. They're extremely comfortable. Now will I buy any more 4s? Probably not. The sizing is too unpredictable as shown in this video. I count myself lucky for getting a pair that fit true to size. My favorite Jordans are 7s and it sucks that I cant ever wear them for more than a couple hours because they're always so narrow.
Midnight Blue was horribly uncomfortable as well. I sold them on and got some Bred Reimagined, these are surprisingly comfortable.
They decently comfy if they are broken in and it's a pair with soft materials like suede or soft leather. My super beat 2016 white cements are very comfy actually and the Travis 4s with the soft suede were also comfy. Models like the 6s or 11s are way more unfomfortable than 4s.
Also I feel you on the size 11,8 lol. I'm usually a 9 but if a shoe fits even slightly big I rather go for an 8,5. I hate it with a passion if I got too much room in the toebox
I have the union guava ice 4s. Maybe my fav 4s collab.. but I got them in TTS so I can barely wear them for a couple of hours before the pinching begins. Lesson learned - I’m definitely going a half size up on the Military Blue 4s this May.
same encounters, rn rockin J4 sb's
Thanks for the review, which is very helpful for me ❤
First Jordan pair I every bought was the 2021 lightning. I had the same issue as you, pinching on my right pinky toe. Thought it was all 4s since the 1s I bought after are way more comfortable. Thanks for the video.
Infrared was tight but my bred 4 was right 4s are not consistent so you are definitely right brother
Out of about 44 different 4's over the years I've only ever had any tightness in was my 99' Columbia's, pairs from 04'-06' and the 2018 Singles Day.
I wouldne be mad if you made a "Most uncomfortable Jordan model ever" video
2012 cement 4s were brutal
I can't even wear my Yellow Thunders. Brutal. Top of my toes getting pinched. Pinky toes getting rubbed raw. Something under the "lace wing" is digging into my lower instep. Most of my 4s hurt. Uncomfortable. I sold a bunch of them. Buttttt...I recently copped the women's Sulfur. WTF!!! Feels like my SBs!!! Go figure.
The premium Jordan 4s are comfy the ones that retailed for 400
I recently got my first pair of Aj4's, the Ama, and they are pretty solid. I've worn them all day twice now and they aren't bad, I would probably go up a half size though, they are a bit snug from the extra padding.
Do gotta point out the UNC 4s first pair I had pinching. I cannot wear them due to the pain I experienced. Now I do have a lot Jordan 4s I rarely had pain but them UNC’s I just cannot
Also the insoles affect it slightly as well, jordan brand has like 4 or 5 different types of insoles, ranging from ortholite foam which compresses and bottoms out hella fast, to the dreamcell stuff we have seen recently that is a little more durable, and just an actually polyurethane insole, which are the best and takes the longest to bottom out. You never know which insole they are going to put into a given release, some times a collab has the worst insole they offer, then some times a mass GR has the polyurethane one, the comfort unfortunately is always a little different.
I know shape is important but i am oretty sure the insles are different on each of these. The SB 4s have zoom insoles like sb dunks have so they would definitely be comfortable
Been wearing them since the 90’s and I gotta say never had a problem with the pinkie- 3’s and 6’s do crush the pinkie far far worse.
I thought the thunder 4s were way more comfortable than say military black or midnight Navy 4
Got the Craft 4’s and Reimagine Bred’s which I have not worn yet so I’m glad to hear your views on how they fit
To me the most comfortable I have are the thunders, got half size up for sure and I have bit wide with mid-high arch feet. I dont know if I have the other factory on SB 4's, but mine aint even that comfortable (I just tried on tho)... its softer, maybe that's why people say it is, it has soft leather, almost like a designer sneaker calf skin. The padding inside makes em narrow and the layer(s) of leather on the side. Plus the side pieces at the end of the laces make the materials pull together, even sometimes lacing em loose it stays narrow
Im not sure, but I feel like if u have flat feet is more uncomfortable because u feel the sides easier, because your feet being flat touches the midsole closer (almost feeling under side material more)
If u have a normal mid wide feet with high arch, I think its the most comfortable, not sure if a too high arch will work, but with my mid-high arch it works half size up, cause it just fits fine and if its padding above it stretches overtime probably cause of the mesh/netting
I would only go tts if u have narrow feet, even some people with normal feet should go up half size imo and imo if the shoe need to be full size up unless it has huarache (even and my only 1.5 size up), jordan 9 or like yeezy materials I wouldnt recommend buying, cause the heel slippage gonna ruin the whole fit eventually
that’s crazy af… because the Thunders broke in nicely for me and the Crafts are fkn firecrackers on my feet.. just like the AMM4
MJ is the goat for the simple fact he balled out in 4s. They are only wearable for about an hour
The OG's that Mike wore on court and that were also in stores were way more comfortable than the retros we get today. I'd say the Sb's and the reimagined 4s are closer to how the OG's felt in terms of comfort.
Love the video info. Thought I was only 1 noticing the feel frm then to now w/ 4s
I got a size 12 in the yellow thunder. It’s a lot more roomier than the red thunder in size 12 in my opinion.
On the 2024 bred 4s I actually should have went down a half size.. compared to my 8.5 size thunder yellows. I noticed they seem to run big. But that's just me .. I hear other people say go up wit the bred 4 2024
This has me so nervous about the upcoming Military/Industrial blues haha. Never had 4s before so I guess it'll be a gamble
