There are more modern shoes - even other Jordans - that offer better cushioning straight out of the box. If you have a wider foot, the narrow toe box and those wings could cause some pressure. It’s a style-first, performance-second kind of shoe, and that's okay. On foot, the visual appeal is undeniable. This 'Fire Red' colorway just commands attention. The mesh panels & plastic wings catch the light perfectly for photos. Wearing the Air Jordan Retro 4 is like wearing a piece of history on your feet. However, the toe box creases "very" noticeably—so if you're a perfectionist about keeping kicks pristine, that’s a legit con to consider. Let's talk about the "Air Jordan Retro 4" 'Pure Money'. All-silver and white is a statement! Quality is decent, but watch for paint chips on the midsole over time. On foot, they're true to size with a secure fit. The coolest part? How the light hits the silver parts – looks amazing in videos. It's a flashy take on a classic. Pro? Unique, head-turning style. Con? Can be tricky to style daily, and shows dirt easily. Recommend if you love metallic finishes. Not your pick if you prefer low-key, practical kicks. Honestly? The on-feet comfort is what surprised me most. For a retro shoe, the Air Jordan Retro 4 isn't super plush, but it's supportive. That heel Air unit? You can feel it. The lockdown is great, but the plastic wing eyelets can feel a bit stiff at first. It's a shoe that needs a short break-in period. Compared to a Retro 3, I'd say the 4 feels slightly more structured around the midfoot.
