The cons: the toe box can crease easily. The tongue can be stiff and rub if you're not wearing taller socks. And if you need all-day comfort, this isn't your shoe. It's a lifestyle sneaker first. The Air Jordan 4 Bred is returning in 2026 for the collectors and style fans, not for performance. So, who is this for? Sneakerheads who missed out on previous drops, for sure. It's for anyone who appreciates iconic basketball silhouettes and wants a piece of history that still looks fresh. If you value style and legacy over max cushioning, this is your shoe. The return of the Air Jordan 4 Bred is a big deal for a reason. Who might want to skip it? If you're new to sneakers and just want the most comfortable shoe—maybe look elsewhere first. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 plus tax is a significant investment for a retro. And if you already own a recent retro of this colorway, the changes might be too minor to justify a double-up. It's all about your personal situation. In summary: Iconic look, great construction, classic (firm) feel. Weigh the $220 price against what it means to you. For a sneakerhead, it's worth it. For a casual buyer seeking comfort, maybe not. But seeing that black, red, and grey combo in person? It's easy to see why this Jordan 4 remains one of the greatest of all time. What do you guys think?
