The mesh panels and those iconic plastic wings give it that bulky-yet-sleek look. In natural light, the 'Military Blue' accents against the white leather look even better than in the box. It's a timeless color-blocking. Who might want to skip it? If comfort is your absolute top priority, look at newer models. If you're on a tight budget, $210 is a commitment. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers for mobility, the high-cut collar of the AJ4 might not be your thing. It's a specific vibe. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher on the ankle than a Jordan 1 or 3. Cushioning is firmer than a Jordan 11 or 12. It's its own thing. If you like that mid-top support and a chunkier profile, this is your model. It's a definitive style within the Jordan series. Now, potential cons. The toe box can crease noticeably. Some find the strap system unnecessary. At $210, some might want more modern comfort. If you need max cushion, this isn't it. The Jordan 4 is about style and heritage over pure performance.
