It's not the most exciting release of the year, but it's a solid, dependable classic. For me, it's a yes. The pros of the iconic look and wearability outweigh the cons of the average comfort. It's a shoe I'll wear a lot. Major pros: The iconic, versatile colorway is a huge plus. It goes with almost anything. The construction feels durable. And honestly, at around $210 USD, it's standard for a retro Jordan release these days. You're paying for a classic silhouette done right. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan 4 Fire Red in hand. First impression? The color-blocking is "super" clean. That classic white, black, and Fire Red combo just pops. The build quality feels solid right out of the box. It's the iconic Jordan 4 silhouette we all know, and honestly, it looks even better in person than in pictures. Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ4 Fire Red sits higher off the ground than an AJ1. It's bulkier than an AJ3. But that's its character. The support is different. If you love the AJ1's low-profile feel, the "Air Jordan 4" might feel a bit clunky. It's a distinct model in the Jordan series.
