How can you not see it on feet? One is durabuck and the other is like suede or something. That alone is a big difference.

My 1999 everyday pair on feet.
I feel like the new cushioning is worse too. It's just harder. I can't tell with these because they were sole-swapped with a newer midsole.I see your '19s in the back. How does the fit/comfort compare to the '99s? I understand there's a huge diff in wear, but overall, what are your impressions? I think changing to closed cell PU really ruined the cushion on retros. Personally I'd prefer the long term crumbling and yellowing midsole to the paint chipping and hard PU, but it is what it is.
I’d rather they go back to comfortable midsoles and release the shoes every 5-8 years. Then we could just wear them and not have to worry about 15 years down the line.I feel like the new cushioning is worse too. It's just harder. I can't tell with these because they were sole-swapped with a newer midsole.
I think the newer retros are more narrow going towards the toe box. Also The 99s stab your achilles more with the back tab.
I'm the opposite when it comes to which midsole to use. I'd like them to use midsoles that last longer just so I can wear for an extra 5-10 years.
Nikes never were the best when it came to comfort for me, other brands were always more comfortable. Nike just kills them on the look/design, that's why I buy them.
2012s possibly better than 2019s. 2019s feel like *** but the NA saved em
I definitely agree about the OGs cushioning.Thanks for taking the time to respond. Back in the OG days I recall Jordans being top notch in terms of comfort and tech. I remember being so fascinated by visible air and feeling the cushion on each step. That said, I never wore anything else so maybe I was deluding myself....heh.
That’s my point as to why they’re so expensive.Those do have Nike Air lol

I'm sorry, but I just HAD to POST a picture of the OG's.
I had to remind everyone should MOST definitely NOT be paying resell, for ANY Jordan 4 retro. Hell, not even retail honestly.
What about 2015-2018 was better than what we're getting now? Maybe you can hit up the Jordan 1 thread and explain how the new 85 mold is off? I'm not a huge 1 person so it doesn't pop out to me, but interested in the details. All of the diff versions of the 1 still confuse me with the "OG" versions vs. the "OG 85"....Very strange to me.
