The suede feels tough, and the reinforced stitching in high-wear areas is a smart move from Nike SB. The outsole rubber is also a bit grippier. However, that beautiful suede? It's a magnet for dust and water spots. If you live in a rainy area, be prepared for extra care. That's the trade-off for such a premium material on this Jordan 4 model. On feet, the fit is true to size for me. The SB version has that padded tongue, which adds to the comfort and lockdown. It's not the lightest shoe, but the cushioning feels good—responsive for skating or just walking. The 'Nike SB' branding on the heel is a nice, subtle detail for this collaboration. So, is it worth the $225 USD price tag? For me, yes. You're getting a premium build, a versatile colorway, and a piece of sneaker history with a modern twist. It's a shoe you'll wear a lot. That's always a good sign. Let me know your thoughts down below! Who is this for? Honestly, it's perfect for the sneaker enthusiast who also values comfort. If you love the AJ4 silhouette but always wished it was "softer" underfoot, this is your answer. The SB modifications add real, tangible value for all-day wear, not just skating.
