You're paying for the icon status. The quality is standard for a retro release. If you love the "Jordan 4" silhouette and this color, it's a no-brainer addition to the collection. Who might want to skip it? If your main priority is max comfort or you need a performance basketball shoe, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle retro. Also, at $210, it's an investment. If you're not into the classic silhouette or this specific 'Military Blue' color story, maybe wait for a different release. Major pros? Timeless style, for sure. The "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" is an icon. Durability seems good with the materials. Also, the ventilation from the mesh is a nice, functional touch you don't get on all leather sneakers. For a retro, it's a fairly wearable design that goes with a lot of fits. Now, a real con? The break-in period. The back of the collar, where the plastic tab is, can be brutal on your Achilles for the first few wears. Seriously, wear taller socks. Also, the creasing on the toe box leather is pretty inevitable. If you're super picky about keeping your sneakers pristine, that might bug you. It's part of the charm for me, but it's worth mentioning.
