It’s "screen-friendly." Versus a bulkier shoe, the AJ4 has presence but isn't "too" heavy. I’d recommend these to any sneakerhead looking for a versatile, photo-ready Jordan. Not for the comfort-first runner crowd, though. It’s a style-first model, always has been. Major pros for this pair? The colorway is an absolute win. It's unique yet incredibly easy to wear. Secondly, the build on my pair is really consistent - no glue stains or messy stitching, which isn't always a given. Finally, it's a Jordan 4! The silhouette itself is a pro; iconic, comfortable, and durable. At $210, it's priced in line with the retro line. Let's get these on feet. Honestly, the "air jordan 4 retro" is never the "most" comfortable silhouette – it's a bit stiff & bulky, and this pair is no exception. The break-in period is real. But the fit is true to size for me, and that suede upper is super plush. It's a solid, classic Jordan 4 feel. Don't expect Boost-level softness, though. Who might want to skip it? If you need maximum comfort for long periods on your feet, this isn't it. Also, if you're rough on your sneakers, that delicate suede will show wear fast. And, if loud colors are more your thing, this muted lavender palette might feel too subtle. It's a specific mood.
