Nike SB x Jordan 4 'Pine Green
I'm going to be honest, I was very skeptical by the choice of an aj4 for the SB collab. However, when I put these on my feet, they really blew away all of my expectations & if I'm being real, I wish every 4 felt like these
Materials: the materials used on this sneaker are pretty nice. The leather is soft & smooth to touch, & tremendously better than the dunks that have been coming out since 2021. Next to mention would be the suede toe cap, which is a soft, yet somewhat durable suede that will, imo, skate perfectly and last for a decent time. For me it's the tiny details that made these perfect. For ex: the wings & back heel is made of a soft to touch and very flexible rubber. Imo, these subtle changes made this Aj4 an easy choice to be worn in or skated in all day without any discomfort.
Comfort/Sizing: I'm gonna be honest, when people say these are comfortable, it's 100% true. I'm gonna honestly say that this is probably the most comfortable Jordan I have worn to date . The leather & padding surrounding your foot is very soft and already broken in. It honestly feels like my foot is wrapped in pillows lmao. The outsole is still somewhat firm like a regular aj4, but honestly is extremely comfortable nonetheless. In terms of sizing, go tts. I normally always get my aj4's in a size 8 & that's what I went with here and it's perfect.
Overall Opinion: As someone who has skated & worn sb's the majority of their life, this is probably one of my favorite pairs to come out since Strangelove Dunk & for skating, the Janoski. The fact that they made a AJ4 so comfortable honestly blows my mind & I really wish they would do it with every pair since 4's & 3's are my favorite Jordan's lol. I feel like as a skater looking at this shoe, it's an awesome experience considering how hard dunks were to buy for them over the past few years. If you did sleep on this shoe and are a fan of Jordan's, I wouldn't pass up the chance to grab these. I truly believe you will regret it later on. I am super grateful to have hit from the @extrabutter raffle, bc I was gonna pay resell regardless lol.
