Durability is great; the nubuck and plastic cage hold up well. It's also a true piece of "Jordan" history. For a retro, the materials on this 2024 version are pretty consistent. It's a shoe that just "feels" important in your collection. Major pros? The style is unbeatable. It's one of the most recognizable sneakers ever. Durability is also a plus; the materials can take a beating. For a retro, it's built well. The "Air Jordan 4 Bred" is a wardrobe staple for any sneakerhead, no question. 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. On feet, the 'Bred' colorway is just "so" versatile. The black upper makes it easy to style with almost anything. In natural light, you can really see the different textures—the matte nubuck, the glossy leather on the heel, and that mesh. It's a shoe that looks even better on foot than in the box, in my honest opinion.
