The color-blocking is so clean and bold. In natural light, the black nubuck has a nice texture, and those red wings pop. It's a shoe that looks great in photos and even better in person. This Jordan 4 just has a presence that few other sneakers can match, period. Comparing it to other Jordans? The 4 sits uniquely. It's bulkier than an AJ1 but more streamlined than a 5 or 6. The Bred colorway specifically feels more versatile than, say, a University Blue 4. It's a timeless blockbuster, like the Concord 11s. If you have other 4s, you know the deal. If not, this is a perfect introduction to the model. Comparing it to other "Jordan series" models? The 4 sits perfectly between the bulky 5 and the slimmer 3. It has more presence than a 1, but isn't as heavy as a 6. The "Air Jordan 4 Bred" is arguably the most balanced design in the entire line-up. It's just a perfectly proportioned shoe, in my opinion. Major pros? The materials are great – durable nubuck that should age well. The design is legendary; you can't go wrong. It's a true grail for many collectors. Also, that $210 price tag, while steep, is standard for a Retro High. You know what you're paying for here.
