I recently came across the New Balance RCP-280 replacement insoles. Replaced my Reimagined BRED 4 insoles with those and now the shoes are extremely comfortable.

[@Lee-ic2yn]

Thanks for that

[@Keepemstrait]

putting comfortable and jordan 4 in the same sentence is disrespectful

[@joemaggio6806]

My bred reimagined are super comfortable. Obviously it’s not going to feel like a yeezy or other premium foam shoes but it’s not supposed to. I guess it comes down to what you prefer on feet

[@veryproudfatherTN]

@@joemaggio6806Not true. The Reimagined Bred 4’s, and SB 4’s are comfortable. I could wear my Reimagined Breds all day without any problems at all.

[@playingindies6730]

Depends on what you grew up with, foot shape, overall size and shape. I am short, I don't weigh a lot. I have narrow feet and I find the upper of the shoe very important for the comfort. It has to have its own shape, not a glorified sock. And the modern runners do not offer that, at all. While older models, especially basketball models, do. So yes, it happens that a retro basketball shoe is more comfortable for me than a more modern runner with a modern midsole. However, thanks to my narrow feet I don't have pinky toe issues. A Jordan 4 fits me like a glove. Like its designed for feet like mine.

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

I've never had any comfort problems with 4s. Some people must have weird feet I guess.

[@bren70403]

For $215 retail price for the MB4’s the leather quality is suspect. Nike could have done a much better job

[@rayrawket]

Thankfully I don’t have this problem so much at 35 I’m decent with em. Some are on the more uncomfortable side depending on the era they were made and leather texture as you stated but for the masses I hope they do the ones going forward with justice I know we say we want true to OG but they can do better at least on the comfort with these shoes

[@Okay_Seante]

Agreed 💯

[@jasonwolfe3252]

A Ma Maniere 4s are very comfortable. Fire Red 4s are the most uncomfortable.

[@Eddiewinkicks]

I don't own the a ma maniere 4's but I've heard mixed reviews!

[@Zockanumber1]

The fire reds are awful. For the most uncomfortable pair I've worn the toros take the cake though

The hoodie you have on is going to go perfect with the oxides green 4’s

I got rid of all my Jordan 4 size 11.5 and got size 13 so much better

[@j.r2633]

Love the last video when you did this I was hoping you would do another video like that

[@DylanLey]

Great breakdown!

[@veryproudfatherTN]

I checked out the Military Blue 4’s and tried them on. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Materials are crap, quality control is horrible, and it’s not comfortable like my Reimagined Bred 4’s and SB 4’s. Nike really let us down on this release. I don’t care if it’s an, “OG” sneaker/colorway. I’ll wait for the Navy blue SB’s. PASS!!! The Reimagined Breds are still my SOTY.

[@drippinkicks]

L opinion your pair was prolly 💩

[@veryproudfatherTN]

@@drippinkicks You shouldn’t have to worry about quality or comfort for a shoe that expensive. Nike/Jordan brand has been f#cking up for year’s while raising their prices. Over it.

[@drippinkicks]

@@veryproudfatherTN good point, those pairs should never exist but for ppl with perfect pairs we love them

[@Ab_Wolf]

I bought my first pair of Hoka Cliftons, now every sneakers is like walking on bricks.

[@hexamortis1410]

Why not just put the same insoles in all the 4s? Jordan weird AF. And yes the leather makes all the difference in 4s. My cements from 2012 have that flat leather and they are so uncomfortable, however I like them compared to other cements bc the others have tumbled leather and the creasing is atrocious on white. But my Blk Motorsports have tumbled leather and idk why but they have a Ton of cushion throughout and they are as comfortable as older SB dunks

[@vincenttyler4667]

This sneaker is SOTY and the only imperfection is the insole but I don't care because I use MOVE 🤷 insoles anyway 😅

[@grapeeggplant3863]

Idk about comfortable but they donr bother me by any stretch of the imagination.

[@npowell1981]

They may have called them “Industrial Blue” on the app, but the box says “Military Blue”. History will remember these as Military not Industrial

[@Eddiewinkicks]

Correct and agreed

[@dbking13]

I’m size 11.5 but I usually buy size 12. I never know what to get with 4s tho. If I get 11.5 they feel too snugged and 12 feels too big. I got 11 for military blue and I was surprised they actually fit good

[@Eddiewinkicks]

That’s wild, my feet would be barking in an 11

[@MG-qd6im]

As much as I appreciate Michael Jordan's accomplishments, sports and business alike, I have never been a fan of the shoes. I might be the only one, but to me they look dated, and the cult status is not appealing either.

[@Chicago_Jayhawk]

Yeah they are watered down. It's like people buying a new iPhone. The early on OG colorways like the 1 low Chicagos are the classics. Same with pretty much all Nike shoes--it's brand hype.

Just coming off wearing these(military 4’s) for a full day, not comfortable in my opinion but I never expect comfort from 4’s.

I knew once they announced that they’ll have similar makings of the SB 4, little by little it’ll start to feel less comfortable. Thanks for keeping us updated. Good work.

Why? Sb’s are built to a higher standard 🤔

[@lisfine]

@@jamalsalads Because capitalism.

[@Bamx3]

@@lisfineno . Has nothing to do with it . They said it will have the same shape , not the same construction or materials . Stop comparing these to sb4s , it’s a naive mistake . Sb4s aren’t the norm or standard for Jordan 4s

@@Bamx3 They should be compared to the SB 4 and we should be demanding that same level of comfort and all Jordans should be rebuilt for better comfort. The bred 4s were just as comfortable. Why can’t they all be?

[@vincenttyler4667]

Those metallic red 4's is the best non OG 4

[@Master_Blaster_84]

I like the retro futuristic design, but the quality,leather and confort is garbage, after I test them 30 min in house I made a return request...I never made a return so fast in my life and I wanted so bad a pair of these 😞 it was 4/10 for me the confort,worst quality...just hype are for these shoes,don't know how people from USA wear those,is tortures for legs,just for hype...if you are that guy to collect them and keep them in a plastic box or the original box are for you...but for me,I like to wear my shoes daily...the influencers and youtubers ruin the market with fake hype. Imagine paying 400-600 to torture your feet or keep them new in the box. PS now I know why the name is Jordan 4,because the confort is 4/10 😂 after 30 years they don't improve the confort and quality.

[@Dinerodreamss]

Most people don’t know one foot is bigger than the other foot .. so comfort is definitely something we need daily

[@Crs313]

This may be the best video u ever done!!! Lol. Perfect. Thank u. Can't wait for the style episode.

[@tha9thwonder]

Why do sneaker heads act like you can’t swap out the insole and increase a shoe’s comfort tenfold? Also yall say yall want OG specs then when you get OG specs you complain it’s not like a previous retro that was inaccurate.

[@Eddiewinkicks]

Couple things. We know you can swap the insole, but the shoe is $215. You shouldn’t have to do that. For the price it should be the least of your worries. Also, the specs. They did an excellent job recreating the shape. It looks amazing. No complaints there

[@NicM28]

I got mine yesterday thru online size 10us local release vnds w/ receipt. I already loose the lace but the right shoe has uncomfortable feeling. The mesh netting is pressing my feet so tight and cant even move a room. The unbalance feeling when walking is so unsettling. I dont know why it comes like that. For all other peeps out there planning to buy this J4 Industrial Blue 2024. You should upsize .5 or 1inch from your normal size.

[@NIQUEROSS808]

This is a breakdown that is long overdue for the ever uncomfortable 4’s.. Thanks brotha

[@stevenbaker8903]

I have the red cements and they are mad comfortable. I have Jordan 1s OGs Jordan 1 Mids, Jordan 1 Retro, I have the Jordan 6 Georgetown, Jordan 8 Playoffs, Jordan 11 lows, Jordan 12 Lakers GP, and the Jordan 13 Flint Grey and I have two pairs of the the Jordan Legacy 314. The most comfortable Jordan I have is the 13 next in line is the Jordan 4 for me.

[@billybassman21]

I just changed the insoles in mine and they feel great. The ones that come with them are garbage.

Jordan 4s are my favorite, look wise anyway lol and knowing that the psg's are comfortable i will now pull the trigger and get them. I was afraid to cop and be disappointed. Thanks Eddy 🤜🤛

[@playingindies6730]

I prefer the darker one, so the newer one. Comfort is also perspective. I find this sort of shoes quite comfortable. But I have narrow feet. So I don't really get issues with width in Jordans like most people. I don't have that the toebox is too tight because of my narrow feet. This sort of shoes fit me extremely well. And a shoe that fits extremely well, in width and length, gets comfortable fast. But I also prefer the bit more firm ride. Comfort wise I do prefer the Air Flight 89 over the Jordan 4. The more padded sockliner makes them just perfect for my feet. Modern running shoes are not so comfortable for me. They are often wider, less stable and less padding in the upper. Retro running shoes are nice as well, like the 990v3, 2002r etc.

[@Eddiewinkicks]

great comment right here! If you have narrow feet you're definitely able to wear a wider variety of shoes, enjoy that haha

[@playingindies6730]

@@Eddiewinkicks yea many shoes people find uncomfortable for the narrow toebox, like J4's.. no issues at all for me Only shoe I cannot get right is the Adidas Forum. Size 42 us too small leaving issues on the top of my toes. But the 42 2/3 is too big. But with other shoes I can either fit perfectly or only need to add a thin insole that are built go catch sweat and such, basically a little sock layer.

[@FeherTiborChanel]

7.6 is a good point from you. Literally this industrial blue comfort is a garbage. Maximum points for me is 5.0. Red cement is not bad, but this blue is a brick.

No Jordan 4 is more comfortable than the SB 4....EVER. I never owned the '89 4's so I can't speak on those. I found the 2024 Military's comfortable tho

[@MDR1168]

For what they charge for Jordan 4, they least should supply a better insoles. I’ll stick to air maxes

[@Eddiewinkicks]

I agree on that, it's a big deal

[@IAmInfinitus208]

They really need to cut it out putting Dreamcell insoles and put actual Polyurethane insoles instead!

[@theradzone934]

Loving the A-frame hats lately man. I’ve switched to those primarily over fitteds due to, you guessed it, comfort.😂

[@burfside]

Dreamcell is better cause it’s thicker and more plush but polyurethane is slimmer and firm which isn’t good. My guess is that you just like firm insoles

[@billybassman21]

Really disappointed in the insoles on these, I my feet hurt so bad in them, put some better ones and they feel great.

[@BODominicanYork]

Great video! I think I may be the only guy in America that doesn’t have any issues with Jordan comfort. I’ve never had to change an insole. Dress shoes can cause hit spots, combat boots def have there moments 😂, but probably any shoe may have us barking after 8+ hrs on your feet 🫡✌🏽

Idk why people keep even comparing the SB4s .. I had them so I understand they have great quality but they are a special version of the shoe , it’s not the norm or the standard . We should really only be comparing the normal 4s cause we know the SBs have extra comfort that isn’t common to the Jordan 4

[@Eddiewinkicks]

Right, but my point here is that if they are clearly capable of creating a comfortable 4, why not make that the standard?

The problem at $215 all the materials of those gymshoes should be premium...... Also, the comfort shouldn't be a question or an issue 🤔

[@imQurnot]

Nice explanation of what affects the comfort. I've never worn any 4s because of their reputation. But I have the Breds and Military and plan on trying both. 3s are my favorite esthetically, but 7s and 13s are the most comfortable, in my opinion. And you're right...seeing Dr Scholl's when you look in the shoe is just wrong 😅.

[@nelson4869]

This is a pretty fair score for comfort. Right out of the box, I had some pinky toe pressure but I stretched them out and now they're around what you said 7.4, maybe 7.6. Leather is thin but flexible, decent padding in the upper as you'd expect. But lackluster underfoot due to the average at best midsole and insole. Overall it's really not uncomfortable at all but its far from the best as well.

They did these Military Blues dirty by not giving them PU insoles. Instead, they just stink.

Now I won’t even wear Jordans if I have lots of walking to do. Nike sizing is everywhere. I’m a true 12, but in Nike I wear 12.5 in anything cool 12.5 is impossible to cop which makes me a 13. At work I’m on my feet all day and I am outside a lot easily the most comfortable shoes I wear are Merrells and Salomons.
