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. Let's talk pros. The durability of the Air Jordan 4 is a major plus. The materials can take a beating. The style is incredibly iconic—it's a head-turner. Also, for a retro basketball shoe, the breathability from the mesh side panels isn't bad at all. It's a well-thought-out design that has stood the test of time. Now, a potential con? The toe box can be a bit stiff and boxy for some foot shapes. It might require a break-in period. Also, the traction on super smooth surfaces isn't the best. It's a lifestyle shoe first, so don't expect elite court performance from this retro. In natural light, this shoe looks even better. The different shades of grey and that hit of Military Blue just work. Wearing them, you feel that legacy. It's a proper Nike Air Jordan 4 experience. I'm really liking these for everyday rotation.
