For anyone wanting a classic, versatile Jordan that isn't an AJ1. If you love the '80s/'90s basketball shoe aesthetic, this is a must-have. The Nike Air Jordan 4, especially in this color, is a cornerstone of any collection. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's more structured than a 1, and the support is different from a low-top. If you like a mid-top with a defined silhouette, this is your jam. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series. Now, the not-so-great parts. The break-in period is real – that ankle area can rub. Also, the outsole is flat, so traction on super-slick courts might be iffy. If you want ultimate comfort or performance tech, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle/retro shoe first. Just keeping it 100% real with you guys. Who should maybe skip it? If you have very wide feet, definitely try these on first. Also, if your priority is cutting-edge cushioning tech for all-day standing or sport, you might be disappointed. The $210 USD price is for the heritage and style, not for modern performance features.
