This 'Black Cat' / all-black Air Jordan Retro 4 goes with "everything" – joggers, jeans, shorts. The matte finish is sleek. Durability? Those high-wear areas are tough. It's a tank. A stylish, $210 USD tank you can beat up & it still looks cool. Big win. First look at the 'Fire Red' "Air Jordan Retro 4" – the classic color blocking is just "chef's kiss"! Initial fit is a bit stiff, as expected. The padded tongue and collar are signature, offering good ankle feel. On camera, that white/red/black combo is always a winner. A key advantage? Versatility – these go with almost anything. A downside? The plastic mesh on the side can crease noticeably. At around $200, it's a staple. I'd say these are perfect for someone building a core sneaker rotation. Not for those super worried about creasing. On foot, the shape of the Air Jordan Retro 4 is just... "chef's kiss". It fills out jeans or joggers perfectly. The one "downside" I noticed? The plastic wing eyelets can sometimes press if you have a wider foot. Lace them up carefully! Overall, though, it's a shoe that looks as good on you as it does in the box. Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ4 sits "right" between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. More structured than a 3, less bulky than a 5. The toebox on the Air Jordan Retro 4 is roomier than an AJ1, which is a plus for wider feet. It's a unique piece in the Jordan series lineage, no doubt. This 'Military Blue' colorway is a straight-up classic, and at $200 USD, it's in that standard retro price range.
