It's a magnet for dirt and water stains. If you're someone who wants a "wear anywhere without worry" sneaker, this might not be it. You'll need to be a bit more careful with these Air Jordan 4 'Brick by Brick' kicks. Also, the price is steep for some, but that's pretty standard for retros now. On foot, the 'Brick by Brick' design really pops. The textured mudguard adds a ton of visual depth that you don't get from a standard leather AJ4. In natural light, the different shades of grey work well together. I think this pair looks better on feet than in the box—it has a unique, rugged character that stands out in a collection. My final verdict? I'm really impressed. The craftsmanship on this "Jordan series" entry is top-notch. It's a grown-up, sophisticated take on an iconic silhouette. While the break-in is a slight downside, the overall package - the look, the materials, the wearability - makes it a win for me. It feels like a shoe that will age beautifully, both on the shelf and on foot. Alright, so let's get into these Air Jordan 4 'Brick by Brick'. First off, the box is clean, and pulling them out? The colorway is "really" interesting in hand. It's not just a flat grey; you've got this textured, almost concrete-like finish on the leather overlays. The "Brick" name makes total sense. Initial quality feels solid for a GR release. Definitely a unique take on a classic silhouette.
