Yeah, those heel tabs are brutal on your heels if you're not wearing the proper socks. Jordan definitely put himself through the wringer playing ball in them

Hey everyone! question for you! Have you ever accepted Jesus as your personal savior from your sins? Please let me explain real quick... Jesus died for you! We have all sinned and our sins required a blood sacrifice, so God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to earth to die for our sins and make the sacrifice for our sins so we wouldn't have to! Jesus died for our sins, but He rose again from the dead and beat death! Our sins doom us to hell, but Jesus died so we could be saved! We must repent of our sins and place our faith in Jesus Christ! Will you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Call out to Jesus today and ask Jesus to forgive your sins and save your soul! Romans 10:13 - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

I currently play in college and I honestly still play in some old-school models I feel like some of the ball shoes now are dangerously light. I'm more of a mid top guy.

[@Dingus888]

Actually it's the shoes, not the testers. Nike uses different, stiffer PU for retro midsole on jordans rn than they did back then. The shoes were legitimately better leather and better PU midsoles back then. Wish I could have been there and into shoes at the time and felt og fresh PU jordans but time is a vicious mistress

[@owenyoung9645]

What I would give to wear a pair from back then

[@seanmichael8744]

That rear tab digging in didn't happen on the originals because they had slightly higher collar and the original materials were much softer and made the shoe way more comfortable...retros are just not made to play in

[@untouchableone1417]

One of my top 5 favs but strictly for fashion. If you wanna ball, work, or just chill try the Jordan 6. That is absolutely the most comfortable & durable Jordan shoe period & are also one of my top 5 favs.

[@NShomebase]

Most retros use a very hard polyurethane foam in the midsole. It's meant to keep its shape without the creasing lines you see on softer midsoles that are actually comfortable. This is what happens when fashion concerns overtake function.

[@ANTI_999]

Bro was roasting himself 💀

[@theviperroom23]

mj used to play in converses in college and said he prefers flat footed shoes, hence the AJ1 and AJ4 specifically, i guess the AJ3 too even though the 3s are comfortable. i love 4s and 1s but damn they’re just not good basketball shoes, were defs ahead of their time in the 80s tho

[@markylapointe]
