Top Ten Shoes 2012 (9)

In at number 9 we have the Air Jordan 4 in Black and Red (BRED)

This is a retro of the 1989 classic that Jordan hit 'The Shot' in. A complete nubuck black upper makes this shoe ooze class. The midsole has subtle hints of red, white and grey to add just enough colour.

The tongue clearly displays the Air Jordan flight logo and is an absolute classic. This is only the second retro release after its last drop in 1999, the main differance here is the lack of Nike Air on the heel. This has now been replaced by the jumpman.

This shoe was not too difficult to get hold of, most websites completely crashed and had sold out when they became live again but Nike store had stable servers and all sizes left 25 minutes after release. Overall a very wearable, classy shoe that is hands down more appealing than the Military Blue and Fire Red colour ways that released again this year.
