There’s a lot of really great sneaker-head features to these shoes so we’ll just run through a few of them. The Jordan 4’s featured mesh, plastic wings, and nubuck leather all of the first time on a basketball shoe. Of course, Jordan would lead the way in style, but all three things on one shoe?

Combine that with the plastic heel, visible Air cushion, and a 5/8 cut, and you have one of the greatest hoops’ sneakers of all time. These were great on the court, but perfect off it.
