For a retro of this quality and legacy, it's in the expected range, but it's not cheap. You're paying for the history and the design. In my experience, the value is there if this is a silhouette you truly love and will wear. If you're just casually into sneakers, maybe wait for a sale. Sliding these on, the first thing you notice is the fit. The Air Jordan Retro 4 fits true-to-size for me - snug, but not tight. The padding around the ankle collar is noticeable - it's comfortable, but some might find it a bit bulky. The overall feel is firm; don't expect Boost-like softness. For casual wear, it's perfectly fine. That Air unit in the heel? You feel it more when walking than just standing. Alright, so first look out of the box? The quality on this "Air Jordan Retro 4" is solid. This 'Military Blue' colorway is a straight-up classic, and seeing it in-hand is just different. The materials feel good - not super premium, but definitely better than some recent releases. That iconic silhouette, with the plastic wing eyelets and mesh panels, looks amazing. For $210, it's a pricey piece of history, but the presentation is on point right away. Let's talk pros. The biggest advantage of this Air Jordan Retro 4 is its ankle support and that timeless design. The build quality on this specific release is actually pretty good – no major glue stains or anything funky. For $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's actually wearable.
