If you're rough on your shoes and hate visible creasing or stains, maybe think twice. Also, if you find the $210 USD price tag steep for a retro, wait for a sale. It's not a "necessary" shoe for pure performance seekers. In summary: The Air Jordan 4 'White Cement' gets a thumbs up from me. It delivers on its promise—a faithful retro of an iconic design. You're buying the look and the legacy. Just go in knowing the comfort is vintage. If that works for you, cop them. You won't regret adding this piece of the Jordan series to your lineup. Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ4 White Cement sits differently than, say, an AJ1. It's bulkier, more of a statement piece. Versus a newer model like the AJ37? The tech is obviously dated. But that's not the point here. This is about heritage and style. For me, the AJ4's silhouette is one of the best in the entire Jordan series, and this is arguably its best colorway. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. The toe box is roomier than some later models, which I prefer. Versus the recent "Military Blue" 4s, the materials here on the White Cement feel a bit more premium in hand. It's a different vibe from a low-top like the Jordan 1 Low, more of a statement.
