I love the subtle hits of purple on the eyelets and the heel tab. The mesh panels and those classic plastic wings look great. Is it a premium material upgrade? No, but for the $210 USD price point, it's what I expected. The overall execution of this "Orchid" theme is just done really well. It feels special without being too loud. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan 4 'Orchid' in hand, and my first impression is... it's clean. The materials feel solid for a GR, and that lavender-ish 'Orchid' color? It's way more subtle and wearable in person than I expected. The shape of the AJ4 is just classic, you know? It's a really nice, under-the-radar colorway for the Jordan 4 silhouette. Definitely a strong start to this unboxing. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4 'Orchid' has that classic AJ4 feel: secure lockdown, decent cushioning from the Air unit in the heel. It's not the "lightest" shoe, you definitely feel the structure, but that's part of the DNA. The purple accents look even better in natural light, way more vibrant than in some product shots. Major pros? The colorway is a standout. It's different without being crazy. The materials are excellent – that suede is going to age nicely with some wear. And the classic AJ4 design is just timeless. It's a shoe you can build a lot of outfits around, especially if you like adding a subtle splash of color.
