As a lot of you mentioned I misspoke about Zoom Air being in a few models before the 12s, I meant to just say air unit, my bad!
This list is outlandish. Rating the Jordan 3 as an honorable mention, and less comfortable than a Jordan 4 is diabolical and ludicrous
I believe the suitable word you're looking for is asinine
Everyone's foot is different. What feels good on his foot may not be the same to u and me.
3s as an honorable mention is wild 😭
That’s wild it’s mad comfort to me
They kill my pinky toe! Lol
Ong
3s are top 5 in terms of both comfort and style imo
@@kenzisdad02you thinking of 4s
Just crazy
Zoom air wasn't introduced until the air Jordan 12...any Jordan before that only has regular encapsulated air.
Weird he said 1’s has a zoom unit and can’t feel it.
Clearly he was misspeaking, but he sure did it a lot.
@@chrisbc if he did it multiple times I don't think he's saying it wrong.. he's just not aware of the difference in the 2. I'm not clowning him though..a lot of people don't
putting the jordan 3 after the 4, let alone 3rd worst on the list is WILD.
The 4s are worse than the 3s in terms of comfort, I have no idea what he is thinking! 4s just hurt... until you get the SB 4s!
Them shits not comfy the Phylon Js better feeling
Jordan 3's, 7's and 11's are the most comfortable. 3's are my personal favorites.
agreed
3 and 7s I agree, don’t own any 11s so can’t speak on that
Same here…3s are the most comfortable to me
@@cd33832 i have too pairs of 3s and 1 pair of 11s i have only tried 7s on but they were nice
7s are comfy I got the trophy room 7s they feel great. 11s are hot or miss they kill a lot of peoples feet probably the wide foot group so not everyone will agree but 12s are more comfy than 11s
I hate to be that guy, but Jordan’s didn’t use zoom air until the Jordan 12. The 11s, 10s, 7s (late retros) all use top loaded air which makes them more comfortable than the 3s or 4s which use encapsulated air units.
This! There isn't a zoom unit in the Cardinal 7's Seth. Neither do the 11's. Come on Seth.
I came looking for this comment.
you only need to be "that guy" because Seth didn't do any research for this video lol
@@fsdfsdgfesf I mean...he shouldn't need to research this. This should be common knowledge to anyone with a sneaker channel. We're talking about shoes that are over 25 years old.
@@Oz1976no hate to Seth but this is why when it comes to actual information on shoes and good specs I always trust WearTesters
If you're buying Jordan's for comfort, you're buying the wrong shoes.
That being said, the three is goated, but I look for more than just "under foot" comfort. Ankle padding on 4s really does it for me too. 7s and 8s with the bootie also amazing
Yeah I’ve been wearing Jordan’s since 1991 with a mix of other Nikes (uptempo, air max, Kobe, KD) but recently added some New Balance to my collection
I feel so ripped off that I could have been walking around in comfort all these years 😂
The 13s are like a cloud
@@donaldkey9074try the adidas NMDs
I love 8s inner sock liner 😍
Anyone else confused about this list?
Yeah I was thinking he would put 4s top 5 at least
No… lol…
@@FazeBam60804 so uncomfortable
Yeah the 2s were the only J’s I returned because they cut off circulation. I could not try to even break-in.
4s change, depending on release date
11s, 12s and 13s are GOAT'd.
Only thing about 13's I don't like is the ankle collar when I'm driving.
@@V0ltron At least its not plastic and hurts your foot, i lve my white wolf grey 13s and they are def one the most comfy pair i have
11 kids are really comfy but the 11 lows hurt so bad. I’d say go up half a size on the lows
@@stevenbaker8903 only if you're a wide footer. I know 11s and 6 Rings can be a pinky toe killer for wide feet.
Facts
Best ones
6s as an honorable mention is ultimate disrespect
Jordan 6 my favorite specially the way they look
Comfort is definitely subjective. I still think the 3’s are the most comfortable for me in my average every day life. I prefer the more firm cushioning as opposed to the more cushy stuff for everyday wear. Won’t wear them to an amusement park but wear them all the time for work and casually.
Yea for me the 3 is the most uncomfortable but the 4 is comfortable to me..
I agree with you
@@playingindies6730so weird. It should be the other way around for 99% of people who have or had both lol
@@woo_shynen8805 i guess its the shape of my feet.. the Jordan 3 the heel is very much not adapt to that shape. And the issue is gone again in the 4..
The 4s are the most comfortable for me then the 5s
4's SUCK for wide footers. 3's are GOATED for wide footers. 1's are eh.
That's what I came to say
Couldn’t be more right my g. I’ve been wearing Jordans since I was 7 and I’m 39 now always said the 3 are best for wide feet and 12’s
I dunno man... I'm a wide footer and 3s smash my pinky toe. I think 2s are best for wide footers. The 2 & 13 are my top 2 most comfortable
Depends too I kinda have wide feet but certain aj1s are more comfortable than others
@@kenzisdad02you either have monkey feet or you’re thinking of 4s
I just bought the space jam low 11s a few weeks back and I wore them for 6 days straight on my trip to nyc and walked about 6-8 miles a day and not only did they stay clean somehow which was a huge plus, but they did not bother my feet a single bit! I mean I was wearing these suckers for 10-14 hours a day! I was blown away by how comfortable they were. I brought another pair of “comfortable” shoes just in case these were beating my feet up and didn’t have to wear them once. I actually bought 2 pairs cause I like them a lot. And I’ve never been a double up on the same sneaker guy. 10/10 for me
2s are easily the most comfortable.
The original SB straps and double padded interior is just... * chef kiss *
Agreed! 13s are a close 2nd!
Definitely
Yes
The 3s are comfortable if you get older pairs. The newer pairs have way less padding and feel stiff. I’ve had multiple pairs of black cements through my life and i got the new white cements on release and it’s crazy how different they feel. My black cements feel way better even now
“The Air Jordan 10s are one of those models that really don’t get a lot of love…” (realizes he’s holding a 9) 😂😂😂
Therefore proving the shoe he's talking about gets no love. Lmfao. 😆 🤣 😂
That is because the elastic going across the top of the foot is not that very comfortable for a lot of people. I sold shoes when they first came out and recall people complaining about that.
3s most comfortable for me and most uncomfortable is the 4s
Except for the 2024 AJ4 leather Bred is real comphy
same for me
Factual facts
4s and 5s doesn't work for me
I go a half size up in my 4s and swap out the insoles with Move all day. They become so much more comfortable after doing so, to the point of which I can wear them all day with no problem at all. (I average around 20k steps per day)
I also lace them up instead of loose lacing them because after a bit of experimenting, I've found out that loose lacing them leave some room for my feet to slide around a little and it absolutely demolishes my pinky toes cuz it's rubbing against the hard tpu thingy.
The only downside that I can't really fix are the ventilation. I just wear them with rather thin ankle running socks to try to maximise the air flow.
I do the exact same thing except with dr scholls thin insoles for more toe room. But same idea, half size up and insole swap
2s don’t get enough love.
Between them and the 13s.. most comfortable!
I agree. The 12s and 13s are the most comfortable.
They also run slightly big so if you want that snug feeling go down half a size
Just copped 11 low Space Jam's, looking forward to their comfort!
The AJ1 does not have Zoom air. The AJ6 has an air bag in the forefoot. The AJ9, AJ7, AJ11 does not have Zoom air at all. Both the OG AJ13 and AJ12 had a full length Zoom Air bag, the retros have a heel & forefoot Zoom Air bag.
The Jordan 5's hands down have the most comfortable tongue imo, and the ankle cushioning is really good on the 5's too. Thought the 1's and 4's were going to be tied for worst, lots of ppl say the 4's feel like you're wearing bricks for shoes
4s are my favorite Jordan hands down but I’d have to say 3s are more comfortable (for me) I was just thinking this the other day when I wore my white cement 3s
I had to hit pause and google some tech specs. Of course a Weartesters video came up. I think maybe going back to check specs, and updating the video, may be a good idea. I thought the 13s were the first Jordan’s with Zoom Air. Pretty sure it wasn’t even a thing when the 7s came out.
I agree with the list overall. I find 3s to be comfortable though. Surprisingly, I gave the Cardinal 7s a run when I went to Disney World (lots of walking and HOT) and they were comfortable all day, multiple days.
My cardinal 7 is one of my most comfortable Jordan’s love them
I agree with the list. But here is my top 5 most comfortable air jordans.
1. Jordan 12. Bounciest air sole there is. It's like walking on foam.
2. Jordan 13. Once the shoe molded your foot is really comfy.
3. Jordan 11. It needs break in but once it does it's really comfy.
4. Jordan 14. Same with Jordan 11.
5. Jordan 7. I dont know why but it really does feel comfortable. I'm a wide footer and it feels good on my feet.
I have a pair of J3s black cement, and I have to say that they're pretty comfy
And to think the GOAT was able to put up the crazy numbers and championships that he won in these clunkers. Absolutely legendary.
I put a pair of molded insoles in my Jordan 1 Lost and Found’s and they are insanely comfortable. The upper and everything is great, it’s just the soul that doesn’t have any support.
14s being so high on the list makes me so happy, I had a pair from 2005 and it was the most comfortable retro Ive worn, they hold up so well.
I think the XIV is the comfiest. Light, great cushion ( especially the OG with the bigger forefoot zoom bag than the retro) and fairly ventilated.
People saying the 3’ and the 4s are most comfortable never had 13 or 11s lol. I wore my 11 concords on my paris trip all day walking around for days and never had a problem. I love the 13s 11s 12s 14s are still even nice to play some ball outside.
Fully agree, 11s are amazing
lol
Jordan 1s have air on the heel. The jordan 12s are the first to have zoom air. 1 -11 is all air unit.
Agree with the 12s! Favorite Jordan silhouette.
I for sure kind of agree.....
My top 5 would be
1. Jordan 11 gratitude
2. Jordan 14 royals
3. Jordan 13
4. Jordan 5 red bull
5. Jordan 12
Your picks especially the 2s place where they're at, says you, Seth, have a skinny mini foot man.....
Yup.
Dk bout that, I wear a size 12 & have a pretty wide foot & like the 2s
You asked us to list l so here’s mine.
10. Twos
9. Nines
8. Eights
7. Fives
6. Tens
5. Fourteens
4. Sevens
3. Thirteens (air units were upgraded so Flints are more comf than rest. Playoffs have the weakest air units)
2. Elevens (again air upgraded with retro models. Those original joints feel bricky)
1. Threes (I noticed your reimagineds were new. You gotta break those in for two weeks before the magic happens)
I agree on your top 4. But I will place 13 before the 14. And yes once you break in the leather on the 12s. Best comfort AJ.
They just look so ugly by time that happens.
Seth the jordan 3 's are my most comfortable just before 13's@!!!???.... I'm confused of courses reamagined wasn't the most comfortable but still most comfortable to drop before bred 4's...
Comfortability isn't just the cushion.. the 3s have so much toe room and are one of the Jordans friendly to wide footers. It has good heel lockdown if need be and can be worn loose or tight. Great pair to wear.
I agree with the list 12s are the best iconic color ways and best feeling on feet
I want the 10s to come out with the city packs. Chicago, Seattle, NYC, Sacramento, Orlando. Great underrated series.
Had the exact Jordan’s 12 flu game back in the day, game changer in every way ! Wish I would of kept them
I have wide feet so I just change the insoles. The brand Move in particular. I've had my 3's on the whole day and not once did I feel like it was uncomfortable.
You also have to take into consideration that people’s feet are all different, so it’s really subjective to which people find the most comfortable and the least comfortable…for me the 3s are the most comfortable for casual wear and the 13s are the best for hoopin from my experience
Top 5 Comfort wise- 13s, 7s, 10s, 12s, 11s. THEN 5, 14, 3, 8
I love the 12s for comfort
I agree on the top 2
I love the jordan 12s
I love seeing a clean pair of rip hamiltons, mine are beat😹
Love your video and the fact that you ranked the shoes based on comfort and not your personal preferences. Thank You.
My rank (based not only in cushion but stepping comfort):
1. 14 (overall cushion experience and REALLY CAN FEEL the forefoot zoom unit, at least in the 2018 LAST SHOT version of the shoe)
2. 13 (nice ride, softer foam/phylon)
3. 11 (better than the 12s because of the heel not being that clunky)
and then...
4. 12 (would be higher in the list since the full-length zoom feels so good but I think the 11s has better arch support IMO and also the 12s heel is terrible while running on court)
5. 10
and in the following ones you can barely play ball while enjoying a comfortable cushion but here they are:
6. 8
7. 7
8. 9
and NEVER in my life had to put any of these on my feet, so I dont know about them:
9. 2
10. 5
11. 4
12. 3
13. 6 (I got the black infrared's and yes they are firm and hard as rocks :(
14. 1 (this shoe is basically a high top VANS by Nike lol although I can understand why people love them so much since the great story behind the shoe :)
Last but not least, NIKE please, WHY YOU DON'T DO PROTRO VERSIONS OF JORDANS FROM 1 TO 9 ??? THINK ABOUT IT. At least the most popular ones (what about a Jordan 3 with Cushlon and full-length zoom air? so we can play ball in those sneakers too?? Your stocks are falling like they are worth nothing and the asian companies are taking a portion of your basketball market... COME ON, DO SOMETHING,... WAKE UP M**********S!!
¡ JUST DO IT !
JORDAN VI was the BEST Basketball Shoe ever made! Till i retire 2001
Amazing to play!
I love Jordan retros, but as I get older I find myself grabbing some NB’s more often.
For sure! If one spends as much on a pair of NB's as they would on a pair of J's, they will discover what true comfort feels like!
Not hating btw, I own J's myself but NB's are hella hard to beat for comfort
Seth, Zoom didn't start in the Air Jordan line until the 12's.
Love the aj12. 💯 agree on your #1
I actually think the 1's are fairly comfortable. The 4's are the worst. They feel like they were made to destroy my feet. The 3's are not comfortable but also do not irritate my feet. Your comments on the 5's are spot on. The 2's would be my number one for comfort. Which I find funny that the odd duck Jordan retro is the most comfy.
I have flat wide feet so this is definetly an opinion based list. I will have to flip the list around based on materials and shape.
I agree because if you have wide foot 12s are the worse😢
On the 13 the play off pairs seemed to have a foggy gem right at the start
To get rid of the foggy hologram gem; just get it hot with a hair dryer
12s are so bouncy.. the golf 12 lows are amazing.
As someone who actually hooped in all of the shoes, the 10s are/ were hands down the most comfortable. The articulated outsole made running and jumping in it a breeze. The least comfortable are/ were the 11s. The outsole which is narrow and has a button effect on the bottom combined with the poor ankle support, caused me to twist my ankle on multiple occasions. The 8s are second most comfortable, followed by the 6s and 5s.
To me 12s & 13s are the most comfortable. I got flat feet & bad arches but i never tried swapping the insoles so thats a major proponent.
12 an 13 are the most durable of the models. Once broken in they are very comfy for being clunky and a sweatbox.
@@norinmey7753 yep my 2013 taxis are my beaters.
11's are the most comfortable shoe I ever worn hands down. If u have a wide foot it's a must
Thanks for taking out the time to bring us this in-depth video. Spot on
The Jordan 9 should have been in the top 2, (I haven't had any 14) but the most comfortable are the 13, 12, 9 and 3
Was wearing my 2's today, I find them to be the most comfortable of the classic jordans. They have nothing on my Air Max 90's though.
For the record: anything before the Jordan 12’s does not have zoom air. The air units in the earlier shoes are just regular air units.
Cery fair list i would consider AJ 14 as the nr 1 but 12 is also good pick. To me AJ11 are quite uncomfortable - ok cushioning is ok but they are a little too stiff and too high so you need to ensure to wear thick socks
My first Jordan was the Playoff 13s and out of my 30+ years I was on the same mission in getting most of these retros. Thank you for filling in the gaps on the shoes I haven’t picked up or haven’t worn yet. I’m definitely going to give the 12s a try, it’s been on ice for 2 years.
The 14 is comfy but it's special to me because MJ wore it in game 6 of the 98 finals.
I agree the reimagine 3's dont feel very comfortable they took away the padding around the inside of the shoe. The 2018 Jordan black cements and older 3's like the Katrinas feel way more comfortable
I always use a custom orthotic for J1 to J6. They are cup soled shoes and need it. When you do use a better quality insole, its night and day. Very comfortable and supportive.
TLDR: 11s to 14s are the most comfortable. And correction: Zoom Air did not appear until the 12s, *NOT* the 1s!
Plus, the other thing that also affected these models that had a Polyurethane midsole used a different construction as they now use closed-cell Polyurethane which prevents it to compress and reduce crumbling since the retro 4s back in the early 2000s had massive QC issues and started using a stiffer mold. Open-celled Polyurethane was softer and how the originals felt before phylon took over on the 10s.
AJ1 has a regular air uniit encapsulated in foam. It predates ZOOM air.
Right. Seth had a few goof-ups with describing the Tech-Specs in a few of these.
yes bro, only it's AJ 11
@@sandy6133 was 11 the first or 13? It certainly doesn’t go back as far as he said in the video.
@@motluvthe 12s were the first with zoom air. The 11s had regular full length air.
@@motluv what do you mean ?
1 & 3 are the most comfortable for me, 5-10 are too bulky, 11 too bulky & stiff and 4 is the worst. But I like the style of the 4 the most.
JORDAN XX is the most comfortable with the IPS technology. Anyone who disagrees has no idea.
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I started watching this video, but our lists would be remarkably close. I definitely believe the AJ2 and AJ7 are the most comfortable Jordans in the first 9 models by far, and I also would have the 12 #1 with the 13 and 14 also in the top three. I might put the 3 in the top ten and kick out the 9, though.
Materials matter. Suede pairs are far more comfortable than leather usually even comparing same model. Cool vid
I don't understand why everything past the 15s get no love smh. 19s and 21s are super comfortable! Definitely underrated!
my most comfortable jordan is probably a 1...Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau - the quality is unmatched. they r like a soft glove.
What I find especially with the 4's is that they are so massivly different. I have/had 4 different pairs (and colourways) with the same size and obviously same feet and they were so massivly different from the fit. In best case they are the most comfortable for me and in the worst case I only can wear them for a short amount of time.
I own a pair of Raptor 7’s 2012 release. 7 is one of most comfortable Jordan
Top 3 most comfortable - 13s, 7s and 1s. 13s have the best cushion by far, 7s are light, breathable and the upper holds your feet nicely, and 1s are light and thin with decent cushion. Idk how people say they are the least comfortable. (13s are the best on court)
Jordan 3, 4, 7, 10, 12 & 13 are the pairs I am quite comfortable with and I always use the most from my sneaker collection
I love 3s! jus swap out the weak cushion and PUT primo Cushion s
6 by far my favourite I have a few pairs and find them very comfortable.. I do like the Jordan MVP as they are a mix of the 6,7,8 and are cheaper than the 6
Went on a 3 day vacation with the cherry 11 high's. Breathability, lightness, and cushioning stand-point j11 is the most comfortable. Can agree with most of the people with j3's however it is way too heavy for the 11's.
J3 - fun to style due to the shoe geometry. Tongue isn't that large as j4 does.
J4 / J12 - sneaker convention setting. Loud snkr geometry but easy to style.
J1s both high and low - everyday beaters.
The Reimagine Bred 4s are surprisingly one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn...
Damn. 3’s are in my top 3 most comfortable. I guess I can see how some color ways are more comfy than others. The Racer blues are nice and super padded unlike the fears imo
I'm intrigued by your assessment of the 2's. It was most interesting in my opinion.
2, 3, and 11 are my most comfortable. 1, 4, and 6 are my fav styles. 8s are my GOAT. Might be biased since I played AAU ball in 8s lol
I use all mine in the gym a lot. Think it would vary if u wear casual or performance. 6s pretty good on the treadmill.
12 is the correct pick 11 is next and then 9's especially for hooping purposes
12’s definitely have the best cushioning system with the full length zoom.. but they are also heavy.. pros and cons but that zoom bounce is so comfy
Zoom Air added a bit of weight to it due to those tiny tense fibers acting as tiny push pillars to give that bounce and energy return that Zoom is best known for.
I don't care much about the ones from 14 thru 5, but we have the same top 4. They're quite interchangeable imo
I was surprised with some of the early placements on this list, but hats off to you for making the list purely off your own findings rather than using popular public opinions. The other thing is some releases will be more comfortable because of the different materials used or if the shape has been reworked, which leads to more diverse experiences. I do find 12s and 13s the best for comfort, but I still need to try the 3s, 11s and 14s.
The 3's & 8's are legendary
I’ve owned multiple pairs of 1-14 excluding the 7s & 8s - for me 3s and 13s win. Honorable mentions outside 1-14 are the 31s & 34s.
I totally agree with this list but I will say the most comfortable Jordan I own right now is the 38. It feels so good and plays so well. All my old retros feel more like lifestyle shoes to me. Hard on the bottom.
After wearing my AJ4 Bred reimagined, man most comfortable ones so far imo! Wish the AJ1 L&F were more comfy, love the look though
The Air Jordan 13 is the most comfortable Jordan sneaker of all time
