First impression? The shape is classic and the color blocking is super clean. The materials feel good for the price point of around $210. It's a solid retro release from the Jordan series that looks even better in person than in photos. So, is it worth the $210 USD? For me, yes. You're paying for the iconic design and heritage. The Air Jordan 4 is a piece of sneaker history. If you love the model and this colorway, it's a solid addition. Just manage your comfort expectations. On feet now, and the comfort is decent. It's a firm, supportive ride, not super plush. The lockdown is good, but the plastic wings can feel a bit stiff initially. Compared to a Jordan 1, the AJ4 definitely has more of that 90s basketball shoe feel. It's a statement piece, for sure. Who should maybe skip it? If you're new to sneakers and just want the most comfortable shoe possible, look at newer models. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is an investment for a retro. There are more performance-oriented options at that price.
