Try them on for sizing if you can. The Air Jordan 4 Aluminum is a solid, well-executed release that brings something new to the table without trying too hard. It gets a thumbs up from me. Major pros? The standout, unique look is number one. You won't see this specific finish on many other sneakers. Secondly, it's a highly wearable colorway—it goes with a ton of fits, from jeans to joggers. Finally, as part of the iconic Jordan series, it has that built-in heritage and cool factor. It's a conversation starter for sure. Comparing it to other Js? The Air Jordan 4 Aluminum sits in a unique spot. It's more understated than a lot of recent retro colorways. Versus, say, a Cement 4, it's less bold but more modern. Compared to a Jordan 1, the 4 offers more structure and a chunkier profile. If you have other 4s, this is a great tonal addition. If you're new to the model, it's a solid, wearable entry point. My final verdict? I'm really impressed with the Air Jordan 4 Aluminum. It takes a legendary silhouette and gives it a modern, sophisticated update. The execution is top-notch. While the comfort isn't groundbreaking, the style and quality make up for it for me. Would I recommend it? Yes, especially if you can grab it near retail. It's a solid pick-up that won't go out of style.
