' The overall vibe from the box is super clean and versatile – a perfect everyday color. The fit is true to size with a snug, locked-in heel. Honestly, the comfort level is what I expect from this era: supportive, not plush. Wearing them, they look great with jeans or joggers. Compared to a Retro 6, the 4 feels a bit wider in the forefoot for me. Pro: one of the most wearable colorways in the entire Jordan line. Potential con: some might find the price point of $210 USD steep for a "simple" grey shoe. I'd recommend it to someone looking for a staple sneaker. Hardcore comfort seekers, look at newer models. Let's talk looks. On camera, the 'Military Blue' accents against that white leather really pop. The mesh panels and that classic heel tab give it so much texture. Wearing these out, you get tons of looks—it's a head-turner. Compared to some newer Jordans, the Retro 4 has this bulky, aggressive stance that I love. It's a statement piece, for sure. Just a timeless design from the Jordan series that never gets old. Now, the potential downside – and it's a big one for some: the comfort tech is "dated". The heel Air unit is fine, but the forefoot is pretty firm. If you're used to React or Zoom, this will feel like a brick. Also, the plastic wings can sometimes press on the top of your foot. So, if all-day comfort is your #1 priority, a modern performance model might serve you better than this Retro. Final verdict from my wear test: The Air Jordan Retro 4 is a style king. The look on-foot is unbeatable—that high-top silhouette is legendary. But it's not the most forgiving shoe. Break it in slowly. For $210, you get a piece of sneaker history with some minor, dated quirks. I'm keeping my pair in the rotation, for sure, but with realistic expectations.
