The wmns Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Shimmer' just offers a color story we don't often see. If you're tired of the same old OG colorblocks and want something unique within the lineage, this is a fantastic option. It stands out in the best way. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 Retro sits higher & feels chunkier than an AJ1, obviously. Compared to a more modern Jordan model – it's not as performance-focused. But that's the point, right? It's a lifestyle icon. The cushioning is "definitely" more noticeable than on a flat AJ1, but less bouncy than, say, a Jordan 13. Potential cons / who might NOT love these? If you need plush, modern comfort... look elsewhere. The tech is 30+ years old! Also, that plastic wing eyelet area? It can sometimes press or crease in an annoying way. It's not a perfect shoe, and that's okay to admit! Final verdict time. After unboxing and wearing the Wmns Air Jordan 4 Retro 'University Blue', here's my real talk. You buy this for the iconic style, point blank. The comfort is adequate for casual wear. The blue pops against the black accents - it's a beautiful shoe. Compared to other retros, the 4 holds up well. Pro: Timeless design that never goes out of style. Con: You're paying a premium ($200) for heritage, not modern performance. Who should cop? Fans of the silhouette and classic basketball styling. Who should pass? Anyone prioritizing the absolute best cushioning tech in their footwear. It's a lifestyle piece, through and through.
