Air jordan retro 4 : Pros? Timeless design, incredible heritage, and surprisingly durable construction [obsp52yo]

The nubuck/leather combo on this release is easy to clean. It's a sneaker that looks good with almost anything—jeans, shorts, joggers. A major pro for collectors is that this is a straight retro of a super iconic color. If you missed it in '89, here's your chance. The Jordan brand nailed the nostalgia factor with this one. Just got the Fire Red "air jordan retro 4" in hand. "Wow", the red hits are so vibrant in person! The mesh and plastic wings look great. However, putting them on… yeah, they're heavy & the ankle collar can be stiff at first. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? It's a "totally" different, more structured feel. I love the look for sneaker vids—it pops on camera. At this price point (~$200+), it's iconic. But if you hate break-in periods? This might test your patience a bit. For collectors or casual wearers, this is a must-have silhouette in the Jordan series. The design details—the netting, the wings, the rear "Nike Air"—are all storytelling elements. But for wide-footers? Be cautious. The toe box can feel narrow. My advice? If you have wider feet, maybe try a half-size up. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" is a legend, but fit is crucial. Unboxing this "air jordan retro 4" "Pure Money"… the all-white leather is "bright". It's a summer staple. Initial fit? Snug at first, but it'll mold. They're surprisingly versatile for a bold shoe. Compared to an AJ1 Mid, these offer more ankle coverage. The major pro is that crisp, clean aesthetic. The "big" con? Keeping them clean is a "job". For the retail price, it's a classic look. Recommended if you're careful with your kicks. Avoid if you're messy!
