Air jordan retro 4 : Now, the "not-so-great" parts [5fdftr4h]

Ventilation? Those little mesh windows? Mostly for show — your feet will get warm. Also, the midsole paint on some older pairs is notorious for chipping (a.k.a. "creasing"). And at around $200+ USD, you're not getting cutting-edge tech. You're buying into a legend, not performance innovation. That's a dealbreaker for some. Finally, the Air Jordan Retro 4 'White Oreo.' Out of the box, the black speckle details on the midsole are a really nice touch – adds character. The fit is consistent: good length, snug in the right places. On foot, it's a comfortable wear for a retro, and the white-based colorway is a summer essential. Versus a bulkier model like the Retro 13, the 4 feels more agile. Love the classic look and easy color-matching. The only caveat? White leather means you're on cleaning duty more often. For the $210 USD price, I think it's a great addition for someone wanting a fresh, classic AJ4. Not ideal if you hate keeping your sneakers spotless. After wearing them for a full day, my feet were fine - no pain. The break-in period is minimal. The real star is the look. Every time I glanced down or saw a reflection, I appreciated the design. That's the power of a classic. The $210 USD price stings, but for a direct retro of a grail for many? I get it. Just don't expect technological miracles. You're buying a legend, not a revolution in comfort. Conversely, who should skip? If you need a super-light, bouncy shoe for all-day walking or standing – maybe not the best pick. Also, if you prefer minimalist, low-profile sneakers, the bulky air jordan retro 4 aesthetic might feel too much. It’s a statement piece. And if creases bother you… well, you’ve been warned.
