It's not a perfect, modern performance shoe – and it doesn't try to be. It's a stylish, comfortable retro that executes its design flawlessly. If you connect with the look, you'll likely love having it in your closet. That's my real, honest opinion. Is it worth the money? For me, as a fan of the silhouette, yes. You're paying for the iconic design and history. But value-wise? It's tough. You're not getting modern comfort for that $210 price tag. I'd say wait for a slight sale if you can, but for this specific colorway, I don't regret it. My final take? The "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" is a cornerstone sneaker. It's not trying to be the most tech-advanced shoe. It's about style, heritage, and that unmatched silhouette. Would I recommend copping? Absolutely, especially in a classic colorway like 'Bred' or 'Cement'. You won't regret having these in your closet. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 4" is chunkier than a "Jordan 1" or "3". It's heavier and has more of a 90s basketball shoe vibe. The lockdown is better than a "1", but the cushioning isn't as soft as a well-cushioned "Jordan 13", for example. It sits in its own unique space within the "Jordan series" – a perfect blend of style and that era's performance design.
