The biggest advantage of this Nike Air Jordan 4 is the style—it's an iconic silhouette that goes with almost anything. The build quality on this release is consistent. I also appreciate the ventilation from the mesh side panels; it helps a bit with breathability. For $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's still very wearable today. That's a win. Now, the not-so-great parts. The break-in period is real – that ankle area can rub. Also, the outsole is flat, so traction on super-slick courts might be iffy. If you want ultimate comfort or performance tech, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle/retro shoe first. Just keeping it 100% real with you guys. 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. On foot, the design really pops. The mesh panels and plastic detailing on this 'Military Blue' pair have great contrast. They look even better in person than in pics. The shape is bulky in a good way—it gives you that classic, athletic look. The Nike Air branding on the heel is a perfect finish. A very photogenic sneaker, for sure.
