This sneaker, especially in a colorway like this, just works. The build quality on my pair is good – no glue stains or messy stitching. It’s a classic for a reason. You're buying a piece of sneaker history that still looks incredibly relevant today, no question. On-feet, the design "really" pops. The shape of the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" is chunky in a good way—it gives you presence. This 'White Cement' colorway, with the speckled grey details? It’s a timeless look that works with almost anything. On camera or in person, it just screams classic basketball sneaker. It’s less sleek than an AJ11 but has more character than some later models, in my opinion. Alright, let's get these on feet. This is the Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Black Cat'—all matte black everything. The build quality is on point, and the suede/nubuck feels nice. "But here's the real talk": the all-black design hides the iconic lines a bit. On foot, they're comfy for a retro, but they're "not" a lightweight shoe. If you're comparing within the Jordan series, it's less bulky than a Jordan 5 but heavier than a 3. "Love" the stealth look? Go for it. Want a flashier 4? Maybe choose a different colorway. Priced at $210 USD. Final verdict? For me, personally, the Air Jordan 4 Retro is a recommend. The design is a 10/10, it's a piece of sneaker history, and it "elevates" a basic fit instantly. Yes, the tech is dated – but that's part of the charm. I'd say grab a colorway you love on a slight sale, if you can.
