It might require a break-in period. Also, the traction on super smooth surfaces isn't the best. It's a lifestyle shoe first, so don't expect elite court performance from this retro. Comparing it to other Jordans, the Air Jordan 4 sits in a nice middle ground. It's more substantial than an AJ1, but often more wearable than a bulkier AJ5 or AJ6. For me, it's one of the most versatile silhouettes in the entire Jordan series. So, is it worth the $210 USD? If you love the design and history, absolutely. You're getting a well-made, iconic shoe. But if you're just chasing hype or max comfort, maybe look elsewhere. For me, this Air Jordan 4 is a solid 8.5/10. Major pros? The style is undeniable. It's a heritage silhouette that never goes out of fashion. The build quality on this particular retro is pretty consistent. Also, for around $210 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's highly wearable. A solid investment for your rotation.
