Performance basketball players should choose modern models. Also, if you prefer low-profile, minimal sneakers, the AJ4's chunkiness might not be your vibe. It's a statement piece. Who are these for? Honestly, for sneakerheads who appreciate the history and the silhouette. If you love the Jordan 4 model or the 'Military Blue' color story specifically, you'll be happy. Also great for casual wearers who want a statement shoe that isn't too loud. Who should maybe skip it? If you have very wide feet, definitely try these on first. Also, if your priority is cutting-edge cushioning tech for all-day standing or sport, you might be disappointed. The $210 USD price is for the heritage and style, not for modern performance features. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less sleek than a 1, but has more going on than a 3. The comfort is different from an AJ11, which is more court-focused. This is a lifestyle/retro basketball hybrid. It has its own unique place in the Jordan series lineage, no doubt.
