The way the mesh panels and plastic wings break up the design – it looks even better in person than in pics. For a Jordan series retro, it's a statement piece. Honestly, it's one of those shoes that looks great with jeans or joggers, super versatile. Who should cop these? Honestly, if you're a sneakerhead building a Jordan series collection, the "Air Jordan Retro 4" is a MUST-HAVE. It's a cornerstone. Also, if you love bold, 90s-inspired style, you'll love these. Who should pass? If you prioritize cloud-like comfort above all else, or if you're on a tight budget... maybe wait for a sale or explore other options. Comparing it to, say, an AJ1? The Air Jordan 4 Retro is a totally different beast. It's bulkier, has more tech (well, for its time). The heel Air unit gives a bit more cushion than the AJ1's flat feel. But – and it's a big but – it's also heavier. Just something to keep in mind. 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!
