Yeah bro, they finally got the red right with this retro! It’s definitely a true ‘Fire Red’ and makes the shoe stand out. Thanks bro, we stay with the sauce over here 😂😂😂

You’re welcome bro! I’m glad you got something from the vid. Any version of the fire red 4s is a keeper. 4s are just simply awesome! Your 2012 pair is a keeper, no doubt

Ferry Junigwan Murdiansyah I’m glad I was able to help in any way. Sadly, finding a good pair was like hunting for treasure lol. Hopefully you still enjoy every bit of them

Thank you 🥹 I appreciate that 🥲

Thank you bro!!! I appreciate that! Trust me, as long as you get a decent pair, craftsmanship wise, you don’t need the past retros. This is definitely the best retro of the Fire Reds. I’m definitely going after 2 more pairs and I’m good on Fire Reds for awhile

@@SoFreshEnt45 yeah you should be 😂 anytime bro thx

@@MitchRKicks 🤣🤣🤣😝

I hope you enjoy them bro! 🙏🏻 I know you will enjoy them. They go with a lot of outfits

Im actually happy they went back to the og way, they released them like how you wanted in 2006 and 12 it was about time to bring back how michael wore them. Only thing bad with these was the qc.

TheDude you’re definitely right! The 2020 pair does kinda have a shorter look. But that Nike Air seems to cure all things lol

Thank you for the correction 👍🏻

I agree here as well!!! It hurt me to sell my og playoff 12s bcuz I knew that I would never see that shape on the 12s again. Now they have a weird banana shape just like the 13s, smh. The 12s & 13s have suffered a lot with the recent shapes JB has given them. The molds get worse after every retro. The 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, & 11s have gotten better tbh. But nothing beats the OG shape of every numbered Jordan

@@SoFreshEnt45 The shape on 14 is off and the height of the tongue is way too tall. The 13 aren't too bad in shape. The 2 and 12 needs more work when it comes to shape. 1, 3 thru 11 shape has improved on the recent retro. They need stop reversing the jump man on the freaking left pairs (9 and 11).

@@SoFreshEnt45 r u kidding. The toe boxes are so bulky on 3s 4s and 5s compared to ogs and early retros and tongues are huge.

I’m glad you got to choose the best pair available. I doubled up and my 2nd pair that came from finishline still has flaws but I guess they just made too many. Hopefully everyone that wanted a pair got at least one

On your pair how are the bottom of the insoles?

I have a pair for sale . Sz 10 2006

Robert kincade yeah, pairs were really inconsistent. But, that’s what happens with major GR’s

What’s worked for me, personally, is storing your shoes in cold, air conditioned places. For fire red 4s, it usually isn’t a big problem, unlike the white cement 4s which tend to yellow faster. But to slow down the process, don’t store your shoes in hot & humid places. That’s what cracks, yellows, & dries shoes faster. Hopefully this helps you

@@SoFreshEnt45 Thanks man! Highly appreciate the response! Keep safe.

Thanks! You too, bro. God bless you!

@@jocosibayan6351 yo how much did you buy them for?

Once I wear mine, I know that I will have to do the same. Is it hard to repaint them?

@@SoFreshEnt45 no it not hard , just stripping the old paint properly is the challenging part

Honestly, I’m not sure. I actually ended up selling every pair of Fire Red 4s since I needed to clear some closet space, unfortunately. Sorry man

😂😂😂 no lie! Flaws on these shoes were crazy! Nike need to do better!

Are they? If youre lucky youll have some time left i think but you gon need to start wearin em quickly😂😂

@@michaeldevries3754 lol they didn’t pass StockX inspection.

I have a pair. Message me

My IG, here it is: @martin_psalm27

When I said cherry red, I don’t mean it in the literal sense, I mean the red that’s in the Cherry 12s & 13s. Both OG’s of the shoes had a bright red. But idk if you’ve ever owned OG’s before? If so, I don’t mind being corrected

@@SoFreshEnt45 the white/red 12 aka Japan 12(I came up with that nickname because of their flag and theme of the 12's-you can tell Tinker tried to match the bulls color way with the Japanese flag) and white/red 13 aka Chicago 13 both use different red on the OGs. The white/red (Japan) 12 use varsity red on both the 97 OG and 2009 version. The OG white/red 13 use true red, 2010 use varsity red, and 2017 use gym red. These hype beast just throw that name cherry around because of the concord 11 which is dumb. IMO, either the history of the shoe or the color label on the shoe box should be used for nickname.

I agree with your sentiment. I used to have DS OG Bred 13s and that red has yet to be matched by the retros. The 2004 came close tho but you’re right, these nicknames are given by hypebeasts bcuz they’re too lazy to just call a shoe by it’s actually color way.

@@SoFreshEnt45 On the black/red(bred) 13 they can never get the red right on those. I agree, the 2004 version was the closet to the OG. IDKW, Jordan Brand can't get the shape of the 12 right, the GS/youth size on retro are even closer to the OG especially the lizard rand on the lateral and medial side of the shoes.

I can see why you didn’t like the 2020 pair. It definitely had the worst quality control out of all 3. But at this point, Jordan Brand gonna do Jordan Brand things 😪

Better than the stiff ass leather on the older retros, straight pleather. At least on the 2020 they used real & plush leather. Easier to walk in too.

Yup, they are. VERY

I ended up selling the ‘06 & ‘12 pairs after making this video bcuz I had bought 3 pairs of the ‘20 pair. But I’m pretty sure the ‘06 pair wouldn’t have lasted long
