Saucony Jazz 4000 red sail

I used to believe that Saucony quality and quality control is far superior to that of the other rival sneaker brands.

But after receiving this pair, I no longer believe that they are better than any other major shoe brands like New Balance, Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Asics, etc. I think all brands are similar in quality, just some collabs are better than their GR's for sure, but the all the regular releases are same or similar quality with terrible QC (not just Nike and Adidas, but all brands).

Many minor brands fanboys on Reddit and YouTube just hate Nike and trash their QC, but IMHO, Nike is not worse or better than any other brands. I think it is basically what you get what you pay for. This specific pair of Jazz 4000 are very bad in terms of QC and the material used on the upper. These are really bad shoes in terms of build and material quality; however, these are super comfy and fit great. Also, these look really nice on feet.

Unlike the more expensive Saucony pairs I have, they do not run wide (I like narrow fit shoes). So, I may keep this pair despite of some serious glue issues on the midsole.


My other pairs I received on the same day I received this Suacony 4000 were Puma Slipstream Mocha and Saucony Shadow 6000 (the 30th anniversary Grey and Silver colroway). These two pairs were not very cheap, and their QC and the material quality was really great. The expensive grey Shadow 6000 had great New Balance Made grade genuine suede, but this cheap Jazz 4000 had just fake suede that was often used in the early 90's faux suede shoes. I think we used to call it "felt suede".

IMHO, these shoes look and feel as cheap as any brand shoes can get. One of the cheapest feeling shoes ever. But for real life use, these are great shoes just like the Nike P6000 or the Adidas Response CL. The genuine leather thing is overrated anyway. I think fake leather is normally better for most active-minded sneakers as they are used in many bad conditions.

UPDATE: Due to their unbelievably good comfort level, I would keep them and use them as one of my everyday beaters.

These are definitely some of the most comfortable everyday beater shoes. Now I am looking for the pink pair of these and navy ones as well. I think Saucony Jazz 4000 and Azura 2000 are really underrated shoes. These are insanely comfortable, and I think these are just criminally underrated shoes.
