It's neutral but has depth. The nubuck feels nice, and the speckled details on the midsole add a cool touch. Compared to my other 4s, like a Military Black, this is a softer, more everyday vibe. It's less loud, which I actually appreciate for a lot of fits. Major pros for this Air Jordan 4 Retro: Versatility is the biggest one. You can wear these with almost anything—jeans, shorts, techwear-ish pants. The color-blocking is timeless. Also, for around $210 USD, it's a solid entry into the Jordan 4 line without the crazy resale of some other colorways. A great everyday rotation shoe. Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize ultimate foot comfort above all, look elsewhere. Also, if you crave bold, statement-making colors, this muted 'Cave Stone' palette might bore you. And for true performance basketball? This is a retro—stick to modern Jordan models like the 36 or 37 for that. Comparing these to other Jordans? If you have a 'Military Blue' 4, this is like its more neutral, earthy cousin. Versus a Jordan 1 or 3, the 4 is always a chunkier, more architectural silhouette. The 'Cave Stone' colorway actually makes that bulk feel a bit more refined and wearable with everyday fits, in my opinion. It's a modern take on a classic.
