It's bulkier, more of a statement. Versus a Jordan 3, the 4 has more of that technical, "machined" look with the mesh panels and plastic wings. Each has its own fan base, but the 4's unique profile is a big part of its charm, in my honest opinion. To wrap up, would I recommend them? Yes, but with clear expectations. Don't expect revolution—expect a well-executed re-release of a classic. It's a cornerstone sneaker. For the right person, the Air Jordan 4 Retro is an easy yes. For others, it might feel stiff and overpriced. That's my honest review. 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. Who are these for? Honestly, for collectors of the Jordan series or anyone who loves classic '80s/'90s basketball silhouettes. If you value style over ultimate comfort, this "Air Jordan 4 Retro" is a must. It's for the person who wants that iconic look in a relatively wearable package.
