Or lack thereof. The upper doesn't let much air in, so your feet might get warm. Also, the plastic wing eyelets can sometimes press on a specific part of your foot. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but for some people? It could be annoying. Just something to be aware of. Alright, so the Air Jordan Retro 4 is finally in hand. First impression? The quality is solid, honestly. This 'Fire Red' colorway is super clean—classic white, cement grey, and those hits of red just pop. The shape looks great straight out of the box. For $210 USD, you're getting that iconic Jordan series look, no doubt. Let's get these on foot. Quick comparison time. Vs. a Retro 3? The AJ4 is heavier & more structured. Vs. a Jordan 5? Similar vibe, but the 4's midsole lines are "cleaner". It’s a unique piece in the Jordan series lineage. The $210 USD price? You're paying for heritage/icon-status, not cutting-edge tech. Just being real. In summary: The "Jordan 4 Retro" is a legend. Pros: iconic look, great ankle support, durable build. Cons: firm ride, can feel bulky, premium price tag ($210 USD). It's perfect for sneakerheads who appreciate the lineage. Maybe not the best choice as your "only" everyday shoe. But in a collection? Absolutely essential.
