The way the midsole wraps up? So good. But I have to be real: ventilation is not this shoe's strength. Your feet will get warm in the summer. The Air Jordan Retro 4 is a fall/winter sneaker for me. It’s perfect with jeans or joggers. If you live in a hot climate & want a breezy shoe, this isn't it. For style points in cooler weather? 10/10. Sliding my foot into this Air Jordan Retro 4, the fit is… interesting. It's a bit snug, I’d say go half a size up if you have wider feet. The support from those plastic wings is awesome, though. You feel locked in. Compared to a Jordan 1? It's a totally different feel—more structured, less of that broken-in softness initially. For $210, you're paying for that legacy look and feel. On-feet, the "Air Jordan Retro 4" really comes to life. I'm wearing the 'Military Blue' pair, and the way the mesh paneling breaks up the leather looks even better in person than in pics. It's a bulky shoe, but in a cool, statement-making way. The design is just "so" distinctive from every angle... perfect for content or just flexing. Honestly, one of the best-looking J's to rock with jeans or shorts. Okay, let's get into these "Air Jordan Retro 4s". First impression? The build quality on this classic silhouette is "solid". The 'Bred' colorway just "screams" OG, you know? The nubuck feels premium, and that sharp, blocky toe-box—iconic. Unboxing this was a proper throwback moment for any Jordan series fan. It’s $210 USD, but you're paying for the history and that undeniable look.
