First impression out of the box? The color is "stunning" in person. That soft lavender / orchid hue is way more subtle and premium-looking than I expected. The suede feels decent, and the classic AJ4 silhouette is just "chef's kiss". For $210 USD, the initial quality seems on point. Alright, so let's get into the Air Jordan 4 'Orchid'. First impression out of the box? The color is actually really clean in person. That soft lavender / orchid shade on the mesh and the wings is way more subtle than I expected. The build quality feels solid, typical of a recent Jordan 4 retro. It's a nice, fresh take on a classic silhouette for sure. Putting these on, the fit is true to size for me. The comfort is standard for a Jordan 4 - you get that decent cushioning, but let's be real, it's not a super plush, modern feel. The lockdown is good, though. The shoe has a bit of weight to it, but it's not overly heavy on foot. It's exactly what I expected from this model. Who is this shoe for? Honestly, it's for the Jordan collector who has the core classics and wants something fresh. It's for the style-minded person looking for a standout Spring shoe. If you appreciate unique colorways on iconic silhouettes, the Air Jordan 4 'Orchid' is a perfect fit. It fills a specific niche in a collection.
