It's not trying to be the comfiest or lightest shoe. It's a style icon. For $210 USD, you're paying for that legacy and a versatile, head-turning design. My personal take? It's worth it for the right person. Check out my on-feet shots later in the video—you'll see what I mean. Thanks for watching I see a lot of you asking about sizing. For the Air Jordan 4 Retro, I'd say stick with your true size. The toe box has decent room. A potential issue for some? The plastic wing eyelets "can" press on the top of your foot if you have a high instep. Something to consider before you drop over $200 USD on these. The materials on this specific 'Fire Red' pair are great. The leather is soft, not plastic-y, and the detailing is clean. Holding it, you can feel the quality that justifies part of that $210 USD tag. In the Jordan series, the 4's build is usually dependable, and this one holds up that reputation. No major flaws out of the box on my pair. Here's my take: this shoe isn't for performance basketball anymore. The Air Jordan 4 Retro is a lifestyle sneaker now. If you're looking for all-day comfort tech, you might be disappointed. But if you want a well-built, iconic design that turns heads? This is it. It's a staple in the Jordan series for a reason. Just manage your comfort expectations!
