Air Jordan 4 Forget Me Not: An On-Feet Look at the Latest Release
I finally got my hands on the new Air Jordan 4 “Forget Me Not” sneakers, and after wearing them for a week, I’m ready to share my thoughts. These shoes have been getting a lot of attention online, and for good reason—they bring something fresh to the iconic Jordan 4 silhouette.
First Impressions: The Color Story
Opening the box, I was immediately struck by the purple-blue shade that gives these sneakers their “Forget Me Not” name. The color isn’t loud, but it’s definitely not subtle either. It’s a rich hue that changes slightly depending on the lighting—sometimes appearing more blue, sometimes leaning toward purple.
The colorway is complemented by grey and black accents that balance the look. This combination makes them wearable for everyday use while still being eye-catching enough to turn heads.
Materials and Quality
Jordan Brand didn’t cut corners with these. The upper features premium nubuck that feels soft to the touch. The quality is exactly what you’d expect from a Jordan 4, with clean stitching throughout. The material choice gives these an upscale feel that justifies their price point.
After several full days of wearing them, I noticed no quality issues. The construction feels solid, and they’ve held their shape perfectly.
Comfort Level When Walking
Like most Jordan 4s, these aren’t the softest shoes in my collection, but they’re certainly comfortable enough for all-day wear. The Air cushioning in the heel provides decent impact protection, while the midsole offers good support.
I walked about five miles my first day wearing them, and my feet felt fine. No blisters, no hot spots. They do require a short break-in period, as the leather needed about two days to start forming to my feet.
Styling the Forget Me Not 4s
These shoes work with more outfits than you might think. The blue-purple color is unique but still neutral enough to pair with:
- Black jeans and a white tee for a clean, simple look
- Khaki pants and a dark top to let the shoes stand out
- Gray sweatpants for a casual, comfortable vibe
I found they look best with pants that have a slight crop or cuff, which shows off the shoes’ profile better. The color also pairs surprisingly well with earth tones, creating an interesting contrast.
On-Feet Appearance
The shape of the Jordan 4 has always been flattering on foot, and the “Forget Me Not” is no exception. They have a balanced profile—not too bulky and not too slim. The color placement draws attention down to your feet in a good way.
What I really like is how the purple-blue shade catches light as you walk. It creates a subtle visual effect that photos don’t fully capture. You need to see these in motion to appreciate them fully.
Public Reaction
I received several compliments while wearing these out. Even people who aren’t into sneakers noticed them. A friend who collects Jordans immediately asked where I got them and whether they were still available.
The color seems to appeal to both men and women, making these a truly versatile addition to the Jordan 4 lineup.
Final Thoughts
After a week of wearing the Air Jordan 4 “Forget Me Not,” I can confidently say they’re worth adding to your collection. They offer a perfect mix of classic Jordan 4 style with a fresh colorway that stands out without being too flashy.
Whether you’re a serious collector or just looking for a quality sneaker that will turn heads, these deliver. Just be prepared for strangers to ask about them—these shoes definitely start conversations.
