It's a premium product. But if you just want a display-piece Jordan 4, maybe go for a retro. This "SB version" begs to be used. My personal take? I'm keeping these on heavy rotation. Great job, Nike SB. Putting these on... wow, the difference is immediate. The SB version has this padded, cushioned tongue that the regular Jordan 4s don't have. It's way more comfortable around the ankle. The insole is also different—more supportive for skating, but great for all-day wear. The fit is snug, true to size for me. A definite upgrade in comfort from the classic 4s. So, is it worth it? For me, yes. The comfort improvements alone justify the price difference from a standard retro. You're paying for a functional upgrade, not just a color change. The Nike SB Air Jordan 4 Navy is one of the most wearable and comfortable 4s I've put on my feet in a long time. A solid release. My final take? I really like this shoe. The "Nike SB Air Jordan 4 'Navy'" executes a simple idea very well. It's a quality retro with a slight performance upgrade (that Zoom unit!) and a killer color palette. For around $225, I think it offers good value for a durable, stylish sneaker you'll wear often. It's a easy recommend from me.
