.. iconic. The color-blocking is super clean: white, black, and that vibrant Fire Red hit on the mesh and heel. For $210 USD, the initial quality feels solid. The leather is decent, not super plush, but it's what you expect from a retro. My first impression? It's a straight-to-the-feet kind of shoe. The major pro here is the "design". It's a "legit" piece of sneaker history. The colorway is bold yet wearable. Construction feels durable. A definite "advantage" is its versatility in a rotation. However, the "cons" are the well-known retro 4 issues: that stiff forefoot and the potential for pinky toe rub. You gotta break these in. To wrap it up, would I personally cop these? Absolutely. As a fan of the series, having this classic is essential. They're a cornerstone of the Jordan line. Just know what you're getting: a stylish, well-built retro with old-school tech. Don't expect Boost or ZoomX, and you'll love 'em. Comparing these to other Jordans? If you have other Jordan 4s, the fit is consistent. Compared to something like a Jordan 1, the 4 is bulkier but offers a bit more support around the ankle. Versus a Jordan 11? Completely different feel—the 11 is sleeker, the 4 is more rugged and structured. It's a classic for a reason.
