The nubuck can be a pain to keep clean from dust and water spots. Also, that firm midsole isn't for everyone, especially if you're on your feet all day. And because it's all black, some details get lost unless you're up close. It's a subtle shoe, which could be a pro or con depending on your style. Who are these for? If you love the Jordan 4 silhouette and want a versatile, wearable colorway that isn't white or grey, this is it. Great for collectors of the "Black Cat" pack or anyone wanting a shoe that works with minimalist or techwear styles. It's a solid rotation piece. Major pros here? The style is a 10/10 for me. It's a timeless, go-anywhere colorway. The build quality on my pair is great, with neat stitching. At around $210 USD, it's standard for a Retro, but you're paying for that iconic design and a super wearable color scheme. Who might want to skip? If ultimate comfort is your #1 priority, look at something with more modern cushioning. Also, if you prefer bright, statement-making kicks, this all-black "air jordan retro 4" might be too subtle for you. It's a stealth wealth kind of shoe, not a centerpiece.
