The Air Jordan 4 Fire Red is a legend. If you missed it before, this retro is your chance to grab a clean, classic pair without the crazy resale prices of some other versions. Now, for the cons, and this is my real take. The main issue is the comfort, or lack thereof, for extended wear. If you're used to modern sneaker tech, these will feel stiff and heavy. Also, that nubuck can be a dirt magnet, especially on the white panels. The outsole traction on dust can be just okay. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan 4 'Fire Red' in hand, and my first thought? The color-blocking is so clean. That classic white, black, and fire red combo just pops right out of the box. The nubuck feels pretty decent for a retro at this $210 USD price point. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense colorway from the Jordan series, and I'm already liking the vibe. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, cloud-like comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you already have multiple white-based Jordans and feel this is too similar, I get it. And for true performance basketball? Obviously, no - this is a lifestyle shoe now. Know what you're buying into.
