I wouldn't ball in these, but for walking the city? They hold up. The outsole grip is decent. It's a straightforward sneaker that does its job. The mens air jordan 4 rm isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, and that's okay. Sometimes you just want a reliable, good-looking shoe. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 4 RM sits higher and is more structured than a Jordan 1. It's got more tech (well, for its era) than a 1 or a 3. Versus a Jordan 5 or 6, the 4 is kind of in the middle - not as bulky as a 6, but with a similar tank-like build. If you like that late-80s/early-90s basketball shoe aesthetic, the "air jordan 4" is a cornerstone model. Who might want to pass? If you need maximum cushioning for long walks or standing all day, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer subtle, low-key sneakers, the "mens air jordan 4 rm" in this color is NOT it. It's a loud, in-your-face kind of shoe. Who should skip it? Hardcore OG fans who want that exact 1989 experience. Also, if you need maximum cushioning or ankle support, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle iteration. My real take? It's a successful update, but it serves a different purpose.
