The navy suede is buttery. The comfort, as I've said, is a game-changer for the model. And the design is just "clean". It's a collab that makes sense and adds real value. It's a shoe you can wear hard without worrying too much. For a "Jordan 4" fan, these ticks a lot of boxes. Let's be real about a potential downside. If you're a purest who loves the "stiff", original AJ4 feel, the softer SB build might feel "off" to you. Also, that beautiful suede? It can be a magnet for dirt and water stains. You gotta be prepared to care for these. For a $225 sneaker, that's something to consider if you're rough on your shoes. 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. On feet, the comfort is a major upgrade. I own a few other "Jordan 4" retros, and they can be a bit stiff. Not these. The SB modifications are no joke. The extra padding and the more flexible outsole make a world of difference. They're still not ultra-boost-level plush, but for a Jordan 4? This is probably the most comfortable version I've ever worn straight out of the box.
