You gotta be prepared to clean these Air Jordan 4s regularly. They're not a "beat 'em up" daily driver for everyone. So, who is this "Air Jordan 4" for? Sneakerheads who love the silhouette, obviously. People wanting a classic, versatile shoe to style. If you appreciate basketball history and iconic design, this is a must. At around "$210 USD", it's a standard retro price for a legendary model. Comparing it to other "Jordans"? The "4" sits right between the 3 and the 5 for me. It's not as sleek as a 1, and it's definitely heavier than a 3. But that's part of its charm – it's got its own distinct, rugged personality within the "Jordan series". It's a statement piece, for sure.
