Durability seems high with the nubuck and plastic wings. It's also incredibly versatile for your wardrobe. At around $210 USD, it's standard for a Jordan Retro release. You're paying for the legacy and the look, which, for many, is worth every penny. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize cutting-edge, cloud-like comfort above all else, look elsewhere. This isn't a ZoomX kind of ride. Also, if you already own a recent Bred 4 release (like 2019), the differences might not justify another $210 purchase. It's for those seeking the definitive, current version of this classic. On feet, they look even better. The 2026 version has a slightly updated shape that's just... sleeker. In natural light, the different materials really stand out. That matte black nubuck doesn't show fingerprints too easily, which is a plus. This is a shoe that looks great in photos, but honestly, it looks even better in person when you're moving around. Comparing it to my 2019 Bred 4s? The shape is slightly tweaked—more streamlined. The toe box is better. And the "biggest" difference is the comfort, hands down. If you're used to the stiffer feel of past retros, this 2026 model will be a pleasant surprise. It feels like a modern shoe wearing a classic's outfit. A successful update, in my book.
