The biggest "pro" is the pure, undefeated style. The silhouette is legendary. However, the tech is dated. The cushioning won't blow you away. If you're a performance-head, look elsewhere. But if you're a collector or just love the look? This retro is a must-have for your rotation. Final verdict? For me, it's a solid pickup. I love having different Jordan 4 colorways, and this 'Shimmer' version adds something unique to the rotation. It's well-made, looks great on foot, and fits true. Just go in knowing you're buying style and heritage over modern performance comfort. On foot, this 'Industrial Blue' colorway "really" pops. The mix of materials—that matte leather and suede—looks great in natural light. I love how the mesh panels break it up. As a WMNS Air Jordan 4 Retro, it's got that iconic, chunky profile that looks good with so many fits. Just a solid, wearable shoe right out of the box. 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.
