At $225 USD, it's a premium ask. Also, if you love the "original" stiff, supportive feel of a Jordan 4, this might feel too different. The SB modifications change the structure and the ride, so purists might be conflicted. So, is the Nike SB Air Jordan 4 'Navy' worth it? For me, yes. The comfort upgrade alone makes it a better daily shoe than the retro. The design is timeless, and the SB tweaks are meaningful. It's one of the best AJ4 releases in recent memory, no cap. A solid cop at retail. Now, a potential con? The price. At $225 USD, it's not cheap. Also, that roomy toe box I mentioned might not work for everyone's foot shape. If you like a super snug fit, this might feel a bit off. It's something to be aware of before you pull the trigger on these. 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.
