"Major pro": The iconic look– it’s a head-turner. Durability is also a plus; the materials can take a beating. "However", a potential con: the outsole is quite flat. If you need serious arch support for all-day wear, you might want to consider an insole. It’s a style-forward shoe, first and foremost. For real-world wear, these are solid. They're durable and go with a lot of fits - jeans, joggers, you name it. The outsole grip is good on dry surfaces. The "Air Jordan 4 Retro" isn't a performance basketball shoe anymore, let's be clear. It's a fashion and lifestyle staple. Who's it for? Anyone building a classic sneaker rotation. Who should skip it? Those seeking cloud-like comfort. Now, the not-so-great part? That heel tab. It’s iconic, but man, it "can" rub against your Achilles if you're wearing low socks. Break-in time is real. Also, the outsole traction on dustier surfaces… it's not the best. This isn't a performance review, but just know the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" is a lifestyle king, not a court king anymore. Who should maybe skip it? Serious performance athletes—or anyone needing all-day, walk-all-over comfort. Also, if you prefer minimal, low-profile shoes, the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" has a presence—it’s not subtle. And at $210, it's an investment, so if you're on a tight budget, maybe wait for a sale.
