You're paying for legacy and a flawless colorway. They're not perfect, but they're important. For $210 USD, you get a forever sneaker. Cop them, wear them, crease them – just enjoy a piece of sneaker history. That's my real take. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize all-day, ultra-comfortable cushioning above all else, look at newer models. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a significant investment for a shoe with a dated feel. It's not a "performance" buy; it's a "culture" buy. Major pro? The versatility. You can wear these with "so" many fits—jeans, joggers, shorts. They're statement sneakers that aren't "too" loud. The durability of the materials also seems good for casual wear. For a "Jordan series" classic, it's hard to beat this colorway for everyday style. It's an instant outfit completer. Putting them on, the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4 Bred has a snug, secure lockdown around the midfoot, which I really like. The cushioning from the Air unit in the heel is noticeable—it's firm but provides good impact absorption. They're not the lightest sneakers out there, but the weight feels substantial and balanced, not clunky at all on foot.
