Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a commitment for a retro lifestyle shoe. It's not a performance basketball sneaker anymore, so keep that in mind. On feet, walking around? The "Nike Air Jordan 4" has a distinct, slightly stiff feel at first. The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's more about impact protection than bounce. The shoe isn't heavy, but you feel its presence. Break-in is real with these; they'll get more comfortable with wear, I can already tell. Bottom line from my experience: The Nike Air Jordan 4 delivers on its promise. It looks incredible on foot, the quality is there, and it connects you to sneaker culture. It's not a perfect, modern shoe, but it's a near-perfect icon. Would I recommend it? For most collectors and style-focused folks, absolutely yes. Just maybe try them on first if you can. Now, a potential con? The toe box creasing. It's just part of the game with this model's leather. Also, the ankle collar can feel a bit stiff initially and might rub some people the wrong way. It breaks in, but it's not for everyone right away.
