The contrast with the grey and black details is really sharp. The mesh panels and those plastic eyelets give the Air Jordan 4 so much texture. It's a shoe that photographs well from every angle. In natural light, that blue just looks so fresh and classic. My final take? I'm keeping my pair. The Nike Air Jordan 4 is a cornerstone of the Jordan series. The flaws (stiffness, creasing) are part of its character. It's a style icon first, a comfort shoe second. If you get it on a slight discount? Even better. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less bulky than a 5, but has more structure than a 3. The cushioning is firmer than an AJ1, for sure. If you like that retro, supportive build, this is a great pick. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series. Who should skip it? If you're all about ultra-boost-like comfort, look elsewhere. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 for a retro is steep. Maybe try a more recent Jordan model with better tech. The Air Jordan 4 is for style-first people.
