.. wow. The "Aluminum" colorway is this clean, cool grey with metallic silver hits that "actually" look premium. The build quality on my pair is solid—no glue stains I can see. For $210 USD, that first impression is pretty strong. The shape of the Jordan 4 is just iconic, you know? Now, a potential con: the materials. While they look great, that stiffer nubuck and the molded panels might not be for everyone seeking all-day comfort. Also, that light metallic grey on the upper? It could be a magnet for scuffs and dirt over time. If you're rough on your kicks, that's something to seriously consider before copping. Who might want to pass? If you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable retro options. If you need a shoe for lots of walking or standing, look at something with newer tech. And if you prefer bold, statement colors, this 'Aluminum' palette might feel a bit too muted for your taste. It's a sophisticated choice, not a loud one. To wrap it up: The Air Jordan 4 'Aluminum' is a confident, well-executed retro. It won't be the loudest shoe in your rotation, but it might become one of your most reached-for. For me, it's a win. It respects the original design while offering a fresh, modern color story. Thumbs up from me - just know what you're getting into with the fit and feel of a classic Jordan 4.
