If you love 80s/90s basketball aesthetics, this is a must. Great for casual wear, not really for performance ball anymore. If you missed out on these back in the day, this retro is your chance to grab a piece of history. Now, potential downsides? The toe box can feel a bit stiff for some people – it might need a break-in period. And if you're used to super-soft, modern cushioning like React or Boost, the Air unit in here might feel a bit basic. It's not a performance basketball shoe anymore, so manage those expectations. On foot, they look even better. The design is so iconic – those mesh panels and plastic wings. In real life, the 'Military Blue' is clean and versatile. You can dress these up or down easily. Compared to a Jordan 1, the "Jordan 4 Retro" has more of a bulky, athletic profile. It's a statement piece, for sure, but in a really wearable way. Now, a potential con? The weight. It's not a "heavy" shoe, but you definitely feel it compared to newer, engineered models. If you're used to ultra-light running shoes, the "Jordan 4" will feel substantial. Also, the plastic wing eyelets can sometimes press if you lace super tight. Just something to be aware of.
