Air jordan 4 retro : Who should skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else—look at newer models [fljwwcfg]

If you need a performance basketball shoe, this isn't it (anymore). Also, if you're on a tight budget, waiting for a sale on this colorway isn't a bad idea. It's a lifestyle flex, not a tech marvel. Checking out the details up close—the stitching, the mesh netting—it's all part of the Air Jordan 4 Retro charm. On foot, they provide good stability, which I like. The midsole is firm, not mushy. They photograph incredibly well; that chunky silhouette always pops. Against other classic Jordans, I'd say it's more substantial than an AJ3. Main advantage? Timeless design that never goes out of style. Drawback? Not the most breathable shoe for hot weather. Great for collectors and style mavens, less ideal for athletes or those in very warm climates. So, who is this for? If you're a sneakerhead missing this from your collection, or just someone who wants a versatile, iconic sneaker, the Air Jordan 4 Retro is a great pick. It's for people who appreciate the heritage and that late-80s design language. At $210, it's an investment in a timeless piece. On feet, the design "~"really"~" pops. The "Fire Red" accents against that white leather? It's a timeless, clean look that works with so many fits. Camera loves it. I think this specific "air jordan 4 retro" colorway might be one of the most versatile in the Jordan series. It's just a staple you can wear year after year.
