If you love the buttery softness or shiny finish of a leather Jordan 4, this might feel a bit underwhelming or "flat" to you. It's a more utilitarian material. Also, the all-black design, while clean, might be too plain for sneakerheads who love bold colorblocks. Just being real. To wrap it up: This is a solid 7.5/10 from me. The "air jordan 4 black canvas" does exactly what it sets out to do—it's a durable, everyday version of an icon. It won't be everyone's favorite, but for its purpose, it's executed well. Would I recommend it? Yes, but with the caveats we discussed. Go try it on if you can! That's my real, honest review. Who should skip it? If you're all about that luxurious leather feel on your Jordans, this might disappoint. Also, if you need plush, modern cushioning for all-day comfort, this isn't it. And honestly, if you already have multiple black-based Jordans, this might feel redundant. It's a specific take on the AJ4 that won't appeal to everyone, and that's totally fine. Comparing it to other "Jordan" models? It's firmer than a retro 1 or 3, for sure. The cushioning setup is the same as any retro 4. Where it differs is the upper. This canvas version feels "lighter" and more breathable than the heavy leather on my 'Military Blue' 4s. It's a nice change of pace for the series.
