Disclaimer I'm not hating on the Fire Red 5 from 2020 it's one of my favorite shoes in my collection. That being said check out how wide the toe is compared to the Original same size but ones a pic from Ebay. Now I see what OG collector's mean by the Air Jordan line used to fit your foot like a glove

The OGs would have probably killed my feet as a wide footer.

I have a super narrow foot but the 99 4s I actually bought in a size 12 (I am a TTS 11.5) and they still fit hella tight on my toes. Weird fit on them.

Same man I was looking at my 2000 pair too. I almost feel like the really good retros they have put out, like this pair were more modeled off the 99/00 Nike Air Retros. That maybe why the infrared 6s still have the short tongue and look more similar to the 2000s than the 91s. Same with the new 4s they're closer to the 99s than the OG's.I have always wondered if there any truth to it.

General consensus is the Fire Red V retro, but can't go wrong with either IMO.

I was one of the lucky ones who got a good pair of each. I’ll say, I’ve worn the 4’s once and I wear the 5’s a bunch. The 5’s fit better and are fun to wear.

really? Can you go into more detail?
I have the cement, bred 4s. I don’t have any 5s. Don’t like any of the color ways except fire red. Always wondered if I was missing something…

I wasn’t on NT yet when the 5’s came out, but a bunch of people posted in the Fire Red 4 thread about mismatching shoes due to poor quality. My 5’s just fit better than my 4’s. They feel almost half a size too small.

Honestly if you can get a clean pair of 4s go that route.

2020 FR 5s are one of the best retros of all time imo. Shape on them is good and the quality is outstanding on them. Especially in these times. There's just about no way you'll be disappointed with them. They are awesome.
The 4s had some really bad quality control issues. Many of the pairs are butchered. If you look at what you are getting on Ebay or a site like that you can find decent pairs but it's not really close imo which pair was executed better.
The 4s are also significantly more expensive. The only way I'd recommend that one is if you simply like 4s way more then 5s. Even then get the 5s lol.
