You're paying for iconic design, good materials, and that Jordan Brand heritage. It's an investment in a piece of sneaker history that you can also wear comfortably. I think it's justified. Now, a potential con? The comfort. If you're used to modern, foam-based sneakers, these might feel a bit stiff and heavy at first. They need a brief break-in period. Also, that ankle collar can rub if you wear low-cut socks. It's not for everyone, especially if all-day, cloud-like comfort is your top priority. My final take? I'm really liking this Air Jordan 4. It's a straightforward, great-looking retro. The value is in the design legacy. Would I cop? For this colorway, yes. It's a must-have for any serious Jordan series fan. Just manage your comfort expectations. On feet, the design "really" pops. The 'Military Blue' hits against the grey and white is a timeless combo. They look great in motion and photograph even better. That mesh netting and the plastic wing eyelets give it so much texture. The "Nike Air Jordan 4" just has a presence that few other sneakers can match, in my opinion.
