The main drawback for some will be the comfort tech—or lack thereof. It's a 1989 cushioning setup. If you're used to modern performance shoes, this will feel stiff. Also, that nubuck upper? It can be a dirt magnet, especially in this light colorway. You gotta be prepared to clean these Air Jordan 4s regularly. They're not a "beat 'em up" daily driver for everyone. Let's talk about the look on camera. The Nike Air Jordan 4, especially in this color, photographs incredibly well. The details—the netting, the heel tab—they all stand out. Wearing them out, they get a lot of looks. It's a shoe that has serious presence without trying too hard. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The Air unit in the heel gives a nice, familiar cushioning. It's not the most plush Jordan ever, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The upper is supportive without being restrictive. For a retro, the Air Jordan 4 still delivers a reliable on-foot feel. 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.
