Nah word. These ****s feel like they’re made of wood on the inside.

 

[MJO23DAN]

I need to find a way to widen the toe area in mine. They make shoe stretchers, but do they make wideners

Most shoe stretchers have the ability to widen as well.

if you find a way, provide instructions. my toes and heel almost always bleed out

 

[nickname.esco]

Man. I literally don’t wear em or really any of my 4s anymore.

Metallic purple the only comfortable ones

100% metallic purples are really comfy. **** I should've grabbed those metallic oranges, but the prices on them ridiculous. oh well

I tried to wear my fr4s out to dinner last night barely made it 30ft to my car had to walk back in and change into some dunks lol

The netting on my pair really yellowed

It’s ****ing absurd dude.. MJ spent a season balling out in the OGs and the crap they give us now is unbearable to wear to dinner. It’s upsetting to say the least.

I really don’t want to off my pair because I absolutely love this colorway and I was lucky enough to get a pair with decent quality control and toe boxes that aren’t disgusting.

 

[TooOlfForThisIsh]

I can wear mine for a few hours if I remove the insole. Agreed that it’s ridiculous.

Like, if you could go to a store, try shoes on, and get your size then I’m not worried about size consistency. But Nike wants to sell everything on line and doesn’t keep enough inventory to allow you to exchange…

 

[iTookanL]

Aftermarket boost insoles helped a ton with these and they're actually good now

Fingers crossed when the 4s (HOPEFULLY) get the High '85 treatment albeit with a few less discrepancies, the 4s will not only return to the way they looked in '99 (let's be real they're never going to get that '89 look right) but they'll also be more comfortable too. My Fire Red 4's were beautiful but all it took was me walking out to the car before going to college to realize I wasn't going to last walking around campus in them. Ended up selling them because they were never gonna get worn due to them being pinky toe killers.

 

[Girl Thats Jules]

^^^^ I agree too, I don't see them ever looking like 1989.

It would take a true miracle to even get them looking like 1999.

I think they've gone so far with this crap that a huge chunk of their consumers would think that the 89 shape was ugly and messed up for no reason. They would cry about the change.

Just like the kids who like varsity red over infrared on the 6s.

Well I hope JB still does right, or mostly right, by their long term consumers and makes the 4s into what they should have been the last 2 decades now. If the kids don't want em who cares? The '19 Black Infrared 6s, the best iteration of the colorway since the 2000 release, was the easiest double up of my life. If people really passed on that release because of the Infrared accents not being varsity red, they're fools but I thank them because it made them an easy purchase.

 

[Girl Thats Jules]

I definitely agree with you, just trying to forecast what's probably gonna happen.

Trust me, I hate this new generation as much as anyone.

 

[rafbuddy]

Imagine tying a plank to your foot. That’s what these fire reds feel like

 

[SteveSteve72]

Damn! I haven’t worn my pair yet. It suck’s hearing that they’re uncomfortable

 

[perfectchaosrei]

We have to realize that a) most people who buy sneakers are not die hard sneaker obsessive b) plenty of people buying sneakers now were not even alive when MJ played or were too young to care c) as a result people have no clue what the proper shape should look like because they’ve never seen the shoe that’s now pushing almost 40 years old

I know when I got into sneakers (2006) I had no idea that the aqua 8 that I got in 2007 weren’t 1:1 with the originals and I didn’t care until the 2015 retro came out.

 

[BabyKiller138]

Saying any Jordan retro isn’t comfortable, is like saying water is wet. Some are more forgiving than others. But, I don’t don’t find any of them truly “comfortable”.

 

[headdetective]

OG 13s were pillows

 

[headdetective]

You said retro though, so what I said was moot.

 

[BabyKiller138]

I say this as a man pushing 40 and a bit overweight.

 

[James_O]

I mean besides shorts and joggers, the skinny/slim jeans are the best way to show off your kicks

Actually no pants is the best way to show off your kicks

I have a pair of Epic React 2’s that are super comfortable. But my silhouette of choice is the AF1 which I find not particularly comfortable.

My fire red 4’s with the insoles in cut up my heals, gave me blisters and cramped up my feet with less than a mile and 3 hours of wear.

Unwearable, not uncomfortable.

 

[thenewjs23]

I need to find a way to widen the toe area in mine. They make shoe stretchers, but do they make wideners

You need a set of new feet!

 

[Kierris]

Y'all should probably size up in 4s.
