If you're used to React or Boost, this will feel stiff. Also, that suede/nubuck? You gotta be careful in bad weather. And the creasing... it's gonna happen on the toebox. It's part of the charm for some, but if you're a perfectionist about your sneakers, that might bug you. Just keeping it real. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize ultimate, cloud-like comfort above all else, look at newer models. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And at $210+, if you're on a tight budget, maybe wait for a sale. But for a style staple? It's worth the investment, in my honest opinion. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 4 sits higher on the ankle than a Jordan 1, obviously. Cushioning-wise, it's firmer than a Jordan 11 or a Jordan 13. It's its own thing—a perfect blend of '80s basketball heritage and style. If you're used to newer, softer models, the 4 might feel a bit dated underfoot. Major pro? The style is unbeatable. This "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" goes with almost anything - jeans, shorts, joggers. It's a true wardrobe staple. The build quality on this release seems consistent, no major glue stains or flaws on my pair. For a retro, that's a win.
