If you missed out on the OG '89 pair or the 2012 release, this $210 retro is your shot. It's a shoe you buy for the look and the story, not for cutting-edge comfort. Perfect for casual, everyday fits. So, is it worth the price? For the right person, absolutely. The "air jordan retro 4" delivers on its promise: a legendary design you can actually wear. It's not trying to be something it's not. Just know what you're getting—a firm, stylish icon. If that sounds good, you won't be disappointed. Let's talk looks on camera. The "Air Jordan 4 Retro" just has "such" a photogenic shape from every angle. The way the midsole cuts up, the heel tab... it's iconic. This "Military Blue" version is super clean for summer fits. Honestly, wearing them feels different than just holding them - they carry a certain presence. A major pro is its versatility in styling. So I finally got the Air Jordan Retro 4 'Bred' (2024 re-release). Opening the box, the craftsmanship here feels solid—no major flaws on my pair. The black nubuck is really nice. On-foot, the sensation is classic: decent support, a bit of a heavy feel, but it just "looks" so powerful in motion. Versus a Retro 3, I find the 4's forefoot a bit roomier. Love the iconic look, but honestly, the breathability isn't great for super hot days. For a hype sneakerhead or someone building a core Jordan collection? 100% worth the $210 USD investment. For a pure performance / comfort seeker? Maybe not your first pick.
