The ankle collar can rub a bit at first until it breaks in. And at around $210 USD, it's a premium price for a retro that doesn't have modern comfort tech. Potential downside? The break-in. The heel collar can be stiff at first and might rub. Also, the outsole traction on dust can be just okay. If you want a super soft, cloud-like step-in feel, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 4 is about heritage and style over max comfort tech. Major pros? Timeless style, for sure. The build quality on my pair is good – no glue stains or major flaws. It's also surprisingly breathable for a mostly-leather shoe because of that side mesh. The Nike Air Jordan 4 is just a solid, all-around classic that never really goes out of style. In summary: The "Nike Air Jordan 4" is a legend. This release does it justice. It's a must for collectors of the Jordan series and a great first AJ4 for newcomers. Just go in knowing its character – it's a sturdy, stylish icon, not a modern comfort king. Hope this honest review helps you decide!
