Durability is a big one—these are built to last. The style is versatile; you can dress 'em up or down. That heel Air cushioning does its job for all-day wear. And of course, the heritage. Owning a pair of "Air Jordan 4s" is like having a piece of sneaker history in your closet. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize ultra-soft, cloud-like comfort above all else, you might find the Air Jordan 4's ride a bit too firm. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the chunkier profile of the 4 might not be your style. It's a distinct look and feel. Potential con? The outsole is a bit stiff initially. It needs a short break-in period. Also, the nubuck can be prone to creasing and water spots. If you're super rough on your kicks, maybe consider that. It's a retro, so don't expect ultra-modern, bouncy tech. Comparing it to other "Jordans"? The "4" sits right between the 3 and the 5 for me. It's not as sleek as a 1, and it's definitely heavier than a 3. But that's part of its charm – it's got its own distinct, rugged personality within the "Jordan series". It's a statement piece, for sure.
