The SB version has this padded, softer tongue which is a game-changer for comfort. The cushioning feels a bit more broken-in compared to a standard AJ4. It's not ultra-plush, but it's definitely more wearable right away. The fit is TTS for me. Who is this for? Honestly, for sneakerheads who want a more comfortable 4, or for skaters looking for a durable, supportive shoe. It's also perfect if you love the Jordan 4 silhouette but want something a little different from the usual retro releases. The 'Navy' color just makes it super wearable. Who should maybe pass? Pure collectors who only want the OG 1989 spec. The SB modifications change the profile and feel. Also, if you're on a tight budget and just want "a" Jordan 4, the standard retros often go for less. The "Nike SB Air Jordan 4" is a premium product with a premium price tag for its specific upgrades. Major pro? The durability. The materials on this 'Navy' pair feel like they can take a beating. The suede is robust, and the reinforced stitching in high-wear areas is a smart move from Nike SB. For a sneaker you might actually "use", not just display, that's a big selling point. It justifies the investment if you're looking for a Jordan that's built to last.
