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. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, pillowy-soft comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you have a very wide foot, the break-in might be tough. And if you're on a tight budget and just want performance tech, the $210 price for a retro might not justify it for you. It's a style purchase, first. On feet, the design really shines. The mesh panels and plastic wings give it great texture. This 'Military Blue' colorway is versatile—it goes with so much. In natural light, the different shades of grey and blue look even better. The Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro just has a presence that works on camera and in real life. Now, a potential con? The toe box can feel a bit stiff initially, and it might crease in a specific way some people don't love. Also, at $210, you're paying for the legacy and look, not necessarily groundbreaking comfort tech.
