At $225 USD, it's a premium ask. Also, if you "love" the traditional, high-flopping AJ4 tongue, this SB version's shorter, padded tongue is a different vibe. It's more functional, but purists might miss the original look. Now, a potential con? The price. At $225, it's a premium ask. Also, that beautiful suede? It's a magnet for dirt and water. If you live in a rainy area, these might cause you some anxiety. Lastly, purists might not love the SB modifications to the classic AJ4 shape. It's "different" - not worse, but definitely not the exact 1989 blueprint. Comparing it to my other Jordan 4s, the SB model is just more comfortable for all-day wear. The standard AJ4 can feel a bit stiff, but this? It's built for actual movement. If you're a fan of the silhouette but want better performance, this 'Navy' colorway is a fantastic option to consider. Let's talk looks. In hand, the 'Air Jordan 4 Nike SB Navy' is nice, but on foot? It "pops". The contrast with the grey hits and that icy blue outsole is perfect. It's a versatile colorway that isn't too loud. For a sneaker review, I gotta say, it photographs incredibly well. The materials have great texture.
