That shiny aluminum-like material? It might crease in a noticeable way over time. Also, if you have wider feet, the Jordan 4's toe box can feel a bit restrictive. This isn't the most "comfort-first" sneaker in the Jordan series. And that light color on the midsole? Yeah, it's gonna attract dirt and scuffs pretty easily. Another thing to consider: the price. At $200 USD, it's sitting at the standard premium tier for Retros. You're paying for the design and the Jordan Brand name. If you're just looking for pure comfort or performance tech, your money might go further elsewhere. This is a style-first, heritage sneaker purchase, through and through. My final take? I really like the Air Jordan 4 Aluminum. It's a bold, well-executed special edition. Is it a must-have for everyone? No. But if the look speaks to you, and you appreciate the Jordan 4 design in a fresh guise, you'll likely be happy. Just go in knowing you're paying for that unique aesthetic above all else. 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.
