At $225, it's an investment. If you only want the classic, rigid AJ4 basketball aesthetic, just get a retro. Also, if you live in a super rainy area, the suede might cause you stress. It's a specific shoe for a specific buyer who appreciates the SB modifications. Now, potential cons? The "navy suede" is gorgeous but "will" require maintenance. It's a magnet for dust and water spots. Also, the fit is roomier in the toebox than a standard 4. If you have narrow feet, you "might" need to size down. It's not a "set it and forget it" kind of sneaker. The pros? Obviously, the improved comfort is number one. The materials on this "Navy" colorway are premium. The gum bottom adds a nice touch and provides great traction. It's a super wearable color that goes with a lot. For around "$225 USD", you're getting a well-executed, special take on the Jordan 4. So, is it worth the ~$225 USD? If you wear your sneakers, "yes". The enhanced materials, Zoom Air, and wearable colorway justify the price for me. It's one of the best Jordan 4s to release recently for actual on-foot use. Definitely a recommended cop from this sneaker review.
