At around $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker culture. It's not the most comfortable Jordan ever (that crown goes to the 13s for me), but the look is unbeatable. It’s perfect for anyone building a rotation of classic silhouettes. If you just want maximum comfort, maybe look at something more modern. Final verdict? For me, the Air Jordan Retro 4 is a "recommend" – but conditionally. I love it for the style, the history, the looks. The on-foot feel is "acceptable," not amazing. If you find a colorway you're obsessed with? Go for it. Just know what you're getting into: an icon, not a revolution. So here's the real talk. Pro of the Air Jordan Retro 4? Unmatched silhouette and versatility. They go with almost anything. Cons? The toe box creases... it's gonna happen, and the mesh side panels can be a dirt magnet. For $210, you're buying into an icon. If you love the Jordan series history, it's worth it. If you need a daily comfort beast, maybe not your first pick. Let's talk about the price: $210. For a retro of this quality and legacy, it's in the expected range, but it's not cheap. You're paying for the history and the design. In my experience, the value is there if this is a silhouette you truly love and will wear. If you're just casually into sneakers, maybe wait for a sale.
