It's an iconic design that goes with almost anything. The build is also durable; these can take a beating. For a retro, it holds up well. The heritage of the Jordan series is strong with this one. 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. Major pro? The durability. The materials on this Nike Air Jordan 4 are tough. That nubuck and plastic wing eyelets are built to last. It's a shoe you can actually wear regularly without worrying too much about creasing or quick wear. For a retro, that's a huge plus in my book. It feels substantial. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize feather-light weight and maximal cushioning above all else, look at modern running shoes. If you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable options. Also, if you hate noticeable creasing on your sneakers, the Jordan 4's design might stress you out a bit.
