I've owned more Jordans as an adult than at any point in my life and they are by far the most uncomfortable shoe, regardless of silhouette.
I will say, my experience is with the 1s, 2s, and 4s.
Although limited, I can't imagine the other silhouettes are that much better, even if it's slightly better, with different materials than the original releases.
The Jordan Brand is probably the most recognized brand of all time and that means something but this shoe has been hypebeast for decades at this point.
This isn't really a response to you czar but your post brought something to my mind that I've been meaning to post for a while.
I say all that to say, I wish people tried other brands but at the same time, as long as they are married to J's, that means other shoes will have fewer people wearing them which works out for the sz 12s like me.
