Air jordan retro 4 : Let's talk about the "not-so-great" stuff for a second [k42jfqce]

The main issue people have with the Air Jordan Retro 4? That plastic lace lock / wing system. It can be stiff and sometimes rubs against the top of your foot. It breaks in, but it's a known quirk. Also, the outsole is flat - great for grip on clean surfaces, but not the best for all-day comfort on concrete. It's a trade-off for that classic look. Reviewing this 'Lightning' Air Jordan Retro 4 – that bold yellow really stands out! Construction feels good; no major flaws on my pair. Wearing them, the arch support is quite pronounced (which I like), and the heel cushioning is adequate for walking. Compared to a Jordan 5, I find the 4's fit to be roomier in the toe. It's a fun, retro vibe. Great for adding a pop of color to your wardrobe. Not so great if you prefer understated kicks. A solid pickup around the $200 mark for fans of loud retros. One downside nobody talks about enough? The exposed mesh on the side. It's a dirt "magnet". If you're rough on your kicks or live in a rainy city, maybe reconsider. Cleaning it can be a chore. So while the "air jordan retro 4" looks amazing fresh out the box, keeping it that way requires some effort. It's not a "beat-em-up" daily driver for everyone. Checking out the Air Jordan Retro 4 'Pure Money' – all silver everything. Unboxing it feels premium; the full-grain leather has a great shine. On feet, the sensation is the standard, reliable Retro 4 experience. The real story is the look: this shoe photographs incredibly well and looks futuristic even today. It’s a standout in any Jordan series lineup. A definite pro is its unique metallic finish. A drawback? Fingerprints and scuffs can be more noticeable on this finish. At $210 USD, this is a shoe for the collector who loves flash and doesn't mind the upkeep. If you're hard on your shoes, this might give you anxiety!
