Air jordan retro 4 : Now, the cons [v2e84jy4]

Breathability? Practically zero. Those plastic wing eyelets and solid upper make your feet sweat. Also, that outsole? It picks up "every" little piece of dust & dirt. If you want a super-comfortable, cloud-like feel right away, this isn't it. The Air Jordan Retro 4 is about look and heritage over modern comfort tech. Just keeping it real. Conversely, the Air Jordan Retro 4 might "not" be for you if supreme comfort is your #1 priority. There are more modern shoes - even other Jordans - that offer better cushioning straight out of the box. If you have a wider foot, the narrow toe box and those wings could cause some pressure. It’s a style-first, performance-second kind of shoe, and that's okay. The craftsmanship on this "Bred" colorway is impressive. Stitching is on point, the leather has a nice tumbled look. On foot, the black and red combo is just powerful, man. It's a statement piece. But remember, the Air Jordan Retro 4 runs a bit small. I’d recommend trying a pair on if you can. It's a legendary shoe, but fit is key for enjoying it. Finally, the Air Jordan Retro 4 'White Oreo.' Out of the box, the black speckle details on the midsole are a really nice touch – adds character. The fit is consistent: good length, snug in the right places. On foot, it's a comfortable wear for a retro, and the white-based colorway is a summer essential. Versus a bulkier model like the Retro 13, the 4 feels more agile. Love the classic look and easy color-matching. The only caveat? White leather means you're on cleaning duty more often. For the $210 USD price, I think it's a great addition for someone wanting a fresh, classic AJ4. Not ideal if you hate keeping your sneakers spotless.
