First look at the "wmns Air Jordan 4 Retro" 'University Blue'? The color-blocking is so clean, and the materials—especially that soft, nubuck suede—feel premium right out of the gate. This Jordan 4 has that classic, bulky silhouette we all know. On foot, it's honestly pretty comfortable for a retro; the cushioning is decent, and the lockdown is secure. The price is steep at around $200 USD, but for the iconic look and solid construction, I think it's worth it if you love the colorway. Not the most breathable shoe for summer, though. Alright, so I just got the "wmns Air Jordan 4 Retro" in this 'Dress Code' colorway, priced at $210. First off? The materials are clean—the leather feels premium right out of the box. The shape of the AJ4 is iconic, and this pair holds it down. On foot, the comfort is decent; it's that classic Jordan 4 feel—not ultra-plush, but supportive. Honestly? It's a solid, versatile pickup for the collection. Is it worth the price tag (~$210 USD)? If you love the silhouette and this colorway, "yes". You're paying for the design legacy & that classic look. But, if you're just dipping your toes into Jordans, maybe start with a more comfortable model? Just my two cents. It's a statement piece. Comparing it to other Jordans... the Air Jordan 4 Retro sits higher on the ankle than a 1 or a 3. It offers more support, for sure. However, it's also a bit heavier. The design details – like the netting and heel tab – are just "so" good. Is it worth the $210? If you love the model, yes. If you're new to Jordans? Maybe try a more forgiving model first.
