Probably because those are weak to me lol

I was looking through some rubbermaid storage containers this weekend that I had not yet put away since we moved and came across my baseball cards.
After removing the first few sets I noticed a Jordan box at the bottom. I had totally forgotten I used the box from my first pair of Jordan's (OG Jordan 5 Fire Red) to store some lose cards.
I faintly remember using black marker to darken up the box top. I havent seen any old pics of me wearing my first few J's so this is a nice find.

Haven't took these out in a few years. Needed some oxygen.

The new mold does wonders on 5s.

Definitely the midsole. Changed it

That's for sure. The fact they look so good combined with actually being comfortable makes the draw of this shoe impossible to resist. I wear them in the rotation for a couple weeks or so, put them back in the closet for something else ... and then end up pulling them out again another couple weeks later.

Ya the new midsole is much more supportive and sculpted feeling, got some decent arch support.. Also much better cushioning. If you put the black metallics on one foot and fire reds on the other it’s a very noticeable difference between the two..

I think the PU insole helps a lot.

I think I saw/read somewhere that the new PU midsole is softer to help with crumbling issues down the line.

Wish they did the same with the 4s. Those midsoles indestructible and uncomfortable

I think it’s the case with the 4s too… maybe it’s the more recent pairs?

Actually, I think the harder "modern" midsole was what helped prevent crumbling (no longer open-celled). Not sure what they've done to soften the recent retros. AM3 as well, and even recent Trainer 1 chlorophylls are pretty soft on foot.

The cool grey 11s too. Dunno what compound they use for those midsole cuz the 96’s don’t crumble

I would rather have shoes that last forever and feel like bricks when you wear them than the other way around.

I can see where you're coming from, but I prefer comfort, and from experience with OGs, if you wore them, they didn't crumble for 15-20 years or more. If people are just storing them in perpetuity, I can see why longevity is more important.

wonder how phylon midsoles would change the look? Probably wouldn’t be able to be used as performance with phylon with visible air, but comfort would be great, and they’d last.

Exactly. Especially now when they'll re-retro a model long before it crumbles. And even if the soles don't disintegrate, they glue gives up the ghost, air bags deflate, other materials crack or yellow (depending on the model in question), etc.
