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. Alright, let's get into these. First off, the box is classic Jordan Brand - no surprises there. Pulling out this 'Fire Red' Air Jordan Retro 4, the color blocking is just "chef's kiss". That pure white leather upper with those fire red accents? It's a timeless look. The build quality seems solid right out of the gate. You can tell this is a shoe that's meant to last, not just sit on a shelf. At around $210 USD, it’s what you expect for a classic retro. Let's talk about the Air Jordan Retro 4 'Pure Money.' All-white leather is always a risky move, but man, it looks sharp. On-foot feel is standard for the model – secure, with a slight break-in period needed around the collar. They're definitely a statement piece. The major pro is the crisp, clean aesthetic. The major con? Keeping them clean is a part-time job! For $210, they're a grail for those who don't mind the maintenance. If you're rough on your shoes, maybe choose a darker colorway. Is the Air Jordan 4 worth the price? For this 'Fire Red' iteration (~$200 USD), I say yes - if you "love" the model. You're getting a piece of sneaker history with solid materials. But if you're new to Jordans and just want one comfy pair? Maybe start elsewhere. This is for those who appreciate the legacy behind the design.
