People wanting a statement piece that isn't too loud. If you dig the '80s/'90s basketball aesthetic, this Jordan 4 is a must. It's a piece of sneaker culture you can actually wear. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "4" sits right in the middle. It's not as bulky as a "Jordan 1" or "3", but it's more substantial than a "Jordan 5". The toe box profile is sleeker. For $210 USD, you're getting a classic piece of the "Jordan series" history with a very distinct, blocky design language that's all its own. So, is the "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" worth the $210? For me, yes—if you love the design. You're paying for the iconic status and timeless style. Just go in with the right expectations: great looks, decent materials, but average comfort by today's standards. It's a solid pickup for the rotation. On foot now, and I gotta say, the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown from those plastic wing eyelets is actually really good! The cushioning? It's that familiar Air unit in the heel—you get a bit of that bounce, but let's be real, it's not ultra-plush like some modern sneakers. It's a firm, supportive ride. The weight is noticeable but not heavy, just... substantial. You know you're wearing a classic Jordan.
