Major pro: timeless style. You can wear these with anything. Another pro? The build is tough; they feel like they'll last. A con, for sure, is the weight. They're not light shoes. Also, the ankle collar might feel a bit stiff at first. If you have wider feet, maybe go half a size up. So, is the $210 tag worth it? For this iconic colorway, I'd say yes - but wait for a slight sale if you can. Alright, so I finally got the Air Jordan Retro 4 in hand! "First impressions?" The shape is classic, man. This 'Military Blue' colorway just pops right out of the box. The nubuck feels decent for a retro – not super premium, but you know, it's solid for the $210 price tag. That iconic silhouette never gets old. Is it worth the $210 price tag? For "me", yes—if you love the model. The craftsmanship on recent retros has been good. The durability is there. But if you prioritize cloud-like comfort from day one, the "Air Jordan Retro 4" might disappoint. It's more about style and heritage than cutting-edge feel. Think of it as wearable sneaker history. Comparing it to, say, an AJ1? The jordan retro 4 is a heavier, more structured shoe. The ankle support is different – it’s higher cut. Versus an AJ3, the 4 feels more… technical, with all those plastic wing eyelets. It's a distinct vibe in the Jordan series. This re-release nails the original's proportions, which is a huge plus for purists.
