That padded tongue and the nubuck upper can get warm. Also, cleaning nubuck... it's a chore. If you need a sneaker for all-day walking in the heat, maybe look elsewhere. The Air Jordan 4 Retro is a style-first, comfort-second kind of shoe, in my honest opinion. Finally, the "'Midnight Navy'" Air Jordan 4 Retro. Classic color-blocking with a deep navy twist. Initial quality check: everything looks great. The leather is decent. Wearing them, they feel exactly like a proper AJ4 should—supportive, a bit heavy, timeless. Compared to the white-based 4s, these are easier to keep clean. Pro: super versatile and classic. Con: it's another $210 retro—nothing groundbreaking. Perfect for anyone building a core Jordan collection. If you already have multiple 4s, maybe skip. Alright, let's check out this "'Taupe Haze'" Air Jordan 4 Retro—such a unique, earthy colorway. Out of the box, the suede feels nice and the deconstructed look is cool. On foot, they feel... different. The lack of a traditional heel tab makes them easier to slip on. Comfort is similar to other 4s. Pro: stands out from the usual color-blocking. Con: suede requires care. At $200 USD, it's for someone wanting a different take on a classic. Not for those who just want the OGs. Final verdict? I'm keeping my pair. Despite its quirks, the design is just too good. It’s a hall-of-fame sneaker. If you find it on sale, or if this specific colorway speaks to you, go for it. Just know what you're getting: a legend, not a revolution. That's my real take.
