It's for someone building a classic Jordan collection - this model is a cornerstone. If you love the late-80s / early-90s basketball aesthetic, you'll love wearing this. The $210 price is an investment in a piece of history. Final verdict? I'm really liking this Air Jordan 4 Retro. It's a classic for a reason. The look, the cultural weight, the versatility—all big wins. Would I recommend it? Yes, if your priority is style and you understand the comfort is "vintage." It's a cornerstone sneaker. Maybe not your "only" pair, but in a rotation? Absolutely. For $210, make sure you love the colorway, as it's an investment in a legend. Conversely, if you're looking for a performance basketball shoe or a super-comfortable all-day runner – look elsewhere. The Air Jordan 4 Retro is a lifestyle shoe now. Its tech is dated (in a cool, retro way), and the support is for walking, not cutting on court. Know what you're buying: a style icon, not a modern performance beast. A quick on-feet review: The Air Jordan 4 Retro has a certain "heft" to it—it feels substantial. The ankle collar provides good support, which I like. Visually, it's a shoe that looks great with jeans or joggers. The "biggest advantage"? Its timeless style. The "drawback"? That classic Air Sole unit can feel a bit dated underfoot.
