It's just part of the deal with this model - the soft leather/nubuck will crease. Also, the ventilation isn't amazing; your feet might get warm. And at ~$210 USD, it's an investment. If you want a super breathable, ultra-light daily runner, this isn't it. Who should maybe skip it? If you're new to sneakers and just want the most comfortable shoe possible, look at newer models. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is an investment for a retro. There are more performance-oriented options at that price. Major pros? The style is unbeatable. This "Nike Air Jordan 4" is an icon. Durability seems good, and it goes with almost anything. The history behind the model is a huge plus for collectors and fans. For $210 USD, you're buying a piece of sneaker history that still looks fresh today. No doubt about it. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The Air unit in the heel provides a decent, familiar cushioning. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that stability. The lockdown around the midfoot is secure, thanks to those plastic wing eyelets.
