First off, the color-blocking is just "clean". The white, grey, and that iconic blue hit? It's a classic for a reason. The suede feels decent, not super plush, but the overall shape & build quality out of the box looks solid. A great start for this retro. 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. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize cloud-like comfort above all else, maybe pass. Also, if you have a wider foot, the fit can be snug. And for pure basketball? I'd recommend a modern performance model. This "Jordan 4" is about style and heritage, not cutting-edge court feel. A major pro for this Nike Air Jordan 4 is the style. It's an iconic design that goes with almost anything. The build is also durable; these can take a beating. For a retro, it holds up well. The heritage of the Jordan series is strong with this one.
