If you're on a tight budget, $210 is a commitment. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers for mobility, the high-cut collar of the AJ4 might not be your thing. It's a specific vibe. Potential cons? The materials could be better for the price—some might find the leather a bit stiff. Also, that firm cushioning I mentioned might not be for everyone, especially if you're used to super plush sneakers. And the toe box creases... it's gonna happen. It's part of the charm, but some people hate that. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the Jordan 4 sits higher than a Jordan 1 and has more structure than a Jordan 3. The cushioning is firmer than the newer, more tech-heavy models. It's a different experience—more about classic style and that iconic profile than modern performance. In natural light, this shoe looks even better. The different shades of grey and that hit of Military Blue just work. Wearing them, you feel that legacy. It's a proper Nike Air Jordan 4 experience. I'm really liking these for everyday rotation.
