I know this because I took L’s everywhere I looked. But the shoe has succeeded without Air branding, in 2012 the Fire Reds retroed and enjoyed great success. With that said, if you add Air Force 1 tooling then… yeah…įire Red Air Jordan 4 Fusion (Air Force 1 Hybrid) 2009Ģ020’s retro is special because it bears ‘Nike Air’ branding for the first time since 1989 (and we all know how much Jordan-heads love that). Add grade-A laser detailing and you have a 2000’s classic, or slap Mars Blackmon’s face on the heel and get a great nod to the shoe’s heritage – it’s all love. When used as a blank slate, the Fire Red 4s can easily adapt without losing their distinct vibe. The shoe’s clean white/red/black color blocking doesn’t age, and they’ll always look good with any outfit. Since ’89, the Fire Red 4s have actually received a lot of love proving that Hall-Of-Fame moments help but a fire colorway will always go a long way. But shine doesn’t always equate to greatness. I think you get the picture I’m painting – the Fire Reds didn’t get a lot of shine.
And in this iconic Air Jordan 4 commercial… what colorways are shown? He wore them during the All-Star Game, when he sank the shot over Ehlo, and on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Michael’s weapon of choice throughout the 4’s original lifecycle were the Breds. The Red Reds didn’t have the same opportunities for greatness as its peers. Ultimately, it’s not a slight at the Fire Reds, but a testament to 4’s otherworldly strength. It’s weird to read, right? Yet, subliminally you’ve probably adhered to this Jordan 4 mindset for years.
Clean… the blue one.įire Red – The other red IV. Four inaugural colorways of the IV(4) dropped in 1989, but we all know the Sneaker Community likes to play favorites…īred – One of the GOAT Jordans.
