Major pro: timeless style. You can wear these with anything. Another pro? The build is tough; they feel like they'll last. A con, for sure, is the weight. They're not light shoes. Also, the ankle collar might feel a bit stiff at first. If you have wider feet, maybe go half a size up. So, is the $210 tag worth it? For this iconic colorway, I'd say yes - but wait for a slight sale if you can. So, who are these for? Honestly, for the collectors, the nostalgia heads, and anyone wanting a versatile, iconic sneaker. If you missed out on the OG '89 pair or the 2012 release, this $210 retro is your shot. It's a shoe you buy for the look and the story, not for cutting-edge comfort. Perfect for casual, everyday fits. Just copped the 'Black Cat' "Air Jordan Retro 4s", and the all-black matte look is stealthy & sleek. Out of the box, the craftsmanship is clean. Sliding them on, the comfort is... okay. You feel the court-ready heritage, not plush modernity. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" silhouette shines in monochrome – it's all about the details. Compared to a bulkier AJ5, these feel slightly more streamlined. Great for style, tough fits. Not great if you need cushioning for long walks. So, for fashion-forward folks, yes. For comfort-first people, maybe not. On the flip side, who should skip these? Performance basketball players - please, get a modern shoe. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a lot for a firm, retro sneaker. You might find better value elsewhere. And if you hate creasing or getting your sneakers dirty? The "Air Jordan Retro 4", especially with this mesh, will stress you out. It's a shoe meant to be worn and to show its age, in my opinion.
