Also, that firm cushioning I mentioned might not be for everyone, especially if you're used to super plush sneakers. And the toe box creases... it's gonna happen. It's part of the charm, but some people hate that. Now, potential cons. That padded tongue and collar can feel a bit stiff and warm at first. If you like a super-breathable, lightweight shoe, this might not be it. Also, the price point at $210 USD is getting up there for a retro release. Comparing it to other Jordans, the Air Jordan 4 sits in a nice middle ground. It's more substantial than an AJ1, but often more wearable than a bulkier AJ5 or AJ6. For me, it's one of the most versatile silhouettes in the entire Jordan series. Let's talk pros. The biggest advantage of this Nike Air Jordan 4 is the style—it's an iconic silhouette that goes with almost anything. The build quality on this release is consistent. I also appreciate the ventilation from the mesh side panels; it helps a bit with breathability. For $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's still very wearable today. That's a win.
