The leather is buttery soft – a huge upgrade! On feet, they're comfortable "for a retro", but let's be honest: it's still a firm, supportive ride. The iconic look is undeniable, and the red accents just fire. At $220, it's premium. Pro? Amazing materials and history. Con? That price tag – and the outsole picks up dust like crazy. I'd recommend these to any serious Jordan fan wanting a premium version. For beaters? Grab an older release. Is it worth the $210 price tag? Here's my real take: Yes, if you love the design. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" is a legend. The materials are decent, construction is good. But the "comfort" isn't a selling point—it's about the look & legacy. I'd recommend it for collectors & casual wearers who prioritize style over all-day cloud-like comfort. Sneakerheads will get it. Let's be real about the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" – it's not a "performance" shoe by today's standards. The tech is 30+ years old. But that's not the point! The point is wearing a piece of history. For $210 USD, you're buying an icon. The "pro" is timeless design. The "con" might be the price for what is, functionally, a simple shoe. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan Retro 4 is bulkier than an AJ1, but lighter than, say, a 5 or 6. The ankle collar is higher, giving more of a "boot-like" feel than the AJ3. I appreciate that support for all-day wear. For $210, it's in that standard retro Jordan price bracket. You're paying for the legacy and style more than tech.
