The main drawback for some will be the comfort tech—or lack thereof. It's a 1989 cushioning setup. If you're used to modern performance shoes, this will feel stiff. Also, that nubuck upper? It can be a dirt magnet, especially in this light colorway. You gotta be prepared to clean these Air Jordan 4s regularly. They're not a "beat 'em up" daily driver for everyone. 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. Now, the cons, or things to consider. The toe box creases... it's gonna happen, especially with this leather. Breathability isn't amazing due to the materials. And if you're used to modern, ultra-plush sneakers, the "Nike Air Jordan 4" might feel a bit dated and rigid in terms of overall comfort tech. Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 is never the plushest shoe, and that's true here. The cushioning is firm but responsive. The lockdown is good, especially around the midfoot with those plastic wings. They're not heavy, but you feel the structure. It's a supportive feel, not a cloud-like one. Just being real about the Air Jordan 4 experience.
