The tech is 30+ years old. But that's not the point! The point is wearing a piece of history. For $210 USD, you're buying an icon. The "pro" is timeless design. The "con" might be the price for what is, functionally, a simple shoe. Let's get these on foot. The fit is true to size for me, with a secure, "locked-in" feel around the midfoot thanks to those plastic wings. The cushioning is that familiar Air Jordan Retro 4 feel – firm but not uncomfortable, giving you that classic court feel. It's not a modern, plush ride, but that's part of its charm for sneakerheads. Let's talk looks. On camera, the 'Military Blue' accents against that white leather really pop. The mesh panels and that classic heel tab give it so much texture. Wearing these out, you get tons of looks—it's a head-turner. Compared to some newer Jordans, the Retro 4 has this bulky, aggressive stance that I love. It's a statement piece, for sure. Just a timeless design from the Jordan series that never gets old. Let's talk about the price: $210. For a retro of this quality and legacy, it's in the expected range, but it's not cheap. You're paying for the history and the design. In my experience, the value is there if this is a silhouette you truly love and will wear. If you're just casually into sneakers, maybe wait for a sale.
