This 'Black Cat' / all-black Air Jordan Retro 4 goes with "everything" – joggers, jeans, shorts. The matte finish is sleek. Durability? Those high-wear areas are tough. It's a tank. A stylish, $210 USD tank you can beat up & it still looks cool. Big win. Here's the thing, though: the Air Jordan Retro 4 can feel a bit stiff and heavy, especially if you're used to modern, ultra-plush sneakers. The ankle collar might rub some people the wrong way. It's a trade-off for that iconic look and support. So, if supreme, cloud-like comfort is your only goal, look elsewhere. Let's talk weight—it's surprisingly substantial. The Air Jordan Retro 4 isn't a heavy boot, but you feel its presence. The support is excellent for casual wear, though. After a full day, my feet weren't sore, but I definitely felt like I was "wearing" them. It's a trade-off: you get that solid, protective build but not a lightweight, forget-you-have-them-on experience. 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.
