The biggest advantage is the look. It's a legendary colorway that goes with everything—jeans, shorts, joggers. The build is durable, and the materials are easy to clean. For a retro, it's fairly versatile. Plus, at around $210 USD, it's standard for a Jordan Retro release these days. On feet, the design really shines. The mesh panels and those Fire Red hits on the tongue and heel tab create such a strong visual. It's a shoe that looks great with jeans or shorts. The way the light hits the cement grey speckles? "Chef's kiss". For a retro, it has incredible presence. It's one of those Jordans that just looks right from every angle, very photogenic. Another thing to consider: the toe box creasing. It's a reality with most leather AJ4s. It doesn't bother me personally—adds character—but if you're someone who hates any crease on your sneakers, this is a heads-up. The design just leads to that natural fold. It's part of the wear story, in my view. How do they look on camera? Honestly, the Air Jordan 4 'Fire Red' is a photogenic shoe. The white base makes the red accents stand out, and the mesh panels add nice texture. Wearing them out, they get compliments. They're a statement piece that isn't too loud. Compared to some bulkier recent Jordans, the AJ4 has a sleek, timeless profile that just works with jeans or shorts.
