The contrast with the black accents and grey mesh is just "so" good in natural light. It's a shoe that works with almost anything—jeans, shorts, you name it. The design is busy in a good way, with all those panels and the plastic wing eyelets. So, who is this Air Jordan 4 for? It's for the sneakerhead who appreciates heritage and iconic colorways. It's for someone wanting a stylish, durable everyday shoe. If you're into the 80s/90s basketball aesthetic, this is a must-have. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan brand. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits between the 3 and the 5 for me. It's not as plush as a well-worn AJ3, but it's more comfortable than a stiff AJ5 out of the box. The silhouette is more angular and bulky than the 1s or 3s, which is part of its charm. It's a distinct look within the "Jordan series". Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize ultra-lightweight or maximal cushioning above all else, the Air Jordan 4 might feel a bit clunky. Also, if you need a super breathable shoe for summer, look elsewhere. It's a specific vibe and feel that won't suit every single person's performance or comfort preferences.
