Which Red Jordans Should You Choose?

Red Jordans bring the Chicago Bulls shade to everyday sneakers for school, work and weekends out, with sizes for men, women and kids. Several retro models in the Jordan sneakers lineup share the color, and each one sits on a different build, so the choice starts with the shape you like.

• Jordan 1 Retro High OG: Suits fans of a tall, simple leather profile, with a cushioned heel unit and small holes across the toe that let air in.
• Jordan 9 Retro: Suited to wearers who want a sleek, rounded shape with a leather and synthetic upper and Nike Air cushioning under the foot.
• Jordan 4 Retro: Suited to anyone who wants a busier, layered look, with grid mesh underlays for airflow and a herringbone rubber sole.
• Jordan 3 Retro: Made for shoppers drawn to texture, since its overlays carry a cracked print that sets it apart from smoother pairs.

Purists lean toward the Jordan 1, fans of a rounded or layered shape lean toward the 9 or the 4, and anyone after a bolder surface goes with the 3.

What Makes Red Jordan Sneakers Unique?

Red sits at the root of the line. The debut Air Jordan 1 paired Chicago red with black, and Nike built its well-known "Banned" ad around that look, although the shoe the NBA actually objected to in 1984 was the Air Ship, a model Jordan wore before the Air Jordan 1 was ready. That story still follows the shade.

Later models kept the tradition going. The Air Jordan 11, designed by Tinker Hatfield in 1995, became known for its patent leather mudguard and carbon fiber spring plate.

How to Pick the Right Pair of Red Air Jordans

Decide how much red you want, then match the model to your routine. For one model, see red Air Jordan 1 shoes or red Air Jordan 4 shoes.

• Amount of red: Pairs that are mostly red make a loud statement, while white or sail bases with red accents fit more easily into a work or school outfit.
• Profile: A high-top wraps the ankle and pairs well with fitted jeans, while a low-top feels lighter and suits shorts in warm weather.
• Surface texture: Smooth leather keeps a clean look, while the elephant print on the Jordan 3 adds grain that hides light scuffs.
• Fit: Sizing can vary from one model to the next, so check the Hibbett size chart before you order.

What Are the Red Jordans Tech Specs?

Each model brings its own parts; the specs below follow the Jordan 1, 9 and 4.

Air-Sole Cushioning in Red Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Shoes

An Air-Sole unit sealed inside the heel of the Jordan 1 adds light cushioning.

Leather Upper on Red Air Jordan 1 Shoes

Leather panels give the Jordan 1 its structure, and perforations across the toe let warm air escape.

Nike Air Cushioning in the Red Jordan 9 Retro

The Jordan 9 places Nike Air in the sole, under a leather and synthetic upper.

Herringbone Rubber Outsole on Red Jordan 4 Retro Shoes

The Jordan 4 uses a rubber sole with a herringbone tread, a zigzag pattern that adds grip.

What Colorways Do Red Jordan Sneakers Come In?

Mostly red pairs include the Jordan 4 Retro "Toro Bravo," red with grey touches, and the Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Nails & Grails," red with metallic silver. White, sail or ivory bases carry red as the accent on pairs like the Jordan 9 Retro "Space Jam" and the Jordan 3 Retro. Darker takes include the Jordan 1 "Love Letter" in brown with red and tan and the Jordan 6 Retro with red on black.
