I'd recommend a more versatile colorway first. It's also not for you if you hate maintaining suede shoes. And if your wardrobe is strictly neutrals, this purple might be hard to style. Think about your usual fits before grabbing these. My final take? I'm really into the Air Jordan 4 'Orchid'. It's a successful execution of a subtle color twist. It looks great on foot, the materials are decent, and it fills a specific gap in a collection. Is it a must-have? For me, yes, because I love wearable, unique 4s. For the general sneakerhead, it's a strong "consider". Comparing it to other 4s? The 'Orchid' sits in that premium, lifestyle color category. It's not as bold as some Retros, but has more personality than a straight-up 'Military Blue'. The materials feel a step above some recent GR releases. If you love unique neutrals in your Jordan collection, this is a strong contender. Potential con? That suede. If you're rough on your shoes or live in a rainy area, this might be a high-maintenance pair. The light color and material will show dirt and water spots easily. Also, if you need maximum cushioning for all-day wear, there are definitely more comfortable modern sneakers.
