In some lights, that purple is "super" vibrant and pops against the muted grey. In others, it's more subtle. The suede catches the light beautifully. I think this is one of those Jordan 4s that looks even better on foot than in the box. The design is just so balanced. Let's talk about the design details. 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. Comparing it to other 4s? It sits nicely between a neutral like the 'Military Blue' and something louder like the 'University Blue'. It's more interesting than a basic grey shoe but easier to style than a full-on colorful release. If you missed out on some of the past premium 4s, this 'Orchid' colorway feels like a worthy consolation. Who are these for? I'd say the Air Jordan 4 'Orchid' is perfect for the sneakerhead who already has the core Jordan 4 colorways and wants something different. It's also great for anyone who loves purple or wants a shoe that stands out without being neon-bright. If you appreciate unique materials and color blocking, you'll likely love these.
