Trying on this 'Black Cat' all-black version, you feel that iconic structure. It's a sneaker that makes a statement just by existing in your rotation. My advice? Try a pair on if you can, understand its quirks, and if you vibe with the look - you won't be disappointed. It's a true classic for a reason. Who should get these? Honestly, sneakerheads who appreciate design history. The Air Jordan Retro 4 is a cornerstone of the Jordan series. Who should avoid them? People prioritizing ultimate comfort above all else. There are better options for that. For me, the look, the legacy, and that classic feel make it a worthwhile cop, even with its firm ride. It's an experience. Just got the Fire Red "air jordan retro 4" in hand. "Wow", the red hits are so vibrant in person! The mesh and plastic wings look great. However, putting them on… yeah, they're heavy & the ankle collar can be stiff at first. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? It's a "totally" different, more structured feel. I love the look for sneaker vids—it pops on camera. At this price point (~$200+), it's iconic. But if you hate break-in periods? This might test your patience a bit. Major pro: versatility. A colorway like the 'White Oreo' is a wardrobe staple. It goes with "everything" - shorts, jeans, joggers. The design is so recognized and respected in sneaker culture. For $200, you're getting a piece of history you can actually wear regularly. That's a big win in my book.
