First thing out of the box? The shape is "on point" this time around. The materials feel pretty standard for a retro, but that iconic silhouette? It's just "chef's kiss". Honestly, for around $210 USD, the initial visual hit is strong. Let's get these on feet. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "4 Retro" sits between the slim 3 and the chunky 5. It's less forgiving than a Jordan 13 in terms of cushioning, but way more versatile style-wise than a Jordan 15, for example. The advantage here is its legendary status and wearability. This specific colorway is a grail for many, so getting a retro is huge. Now, the not-so-great parts. The toe box can crease noticeably. Break-in time is real - they can feel a bit stiff at first. And that exposed mesh? It can get dirty fast if you're not careful. This isn't a performance basketball shoe anymore; it's purely for lifestyle. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 4 sits differently than a Jordan 1. It's bulkier, more of a mid-top. Cushioning is better than a 1, for sure, but it's not as streamlined as a Jordan 11. It's its own thing – a perfect balance between style and a bit of that old-school performance feel. Among retros, the 4 is a fan favorite for a reason.
