For the most part, the retro Pure Money retains the appearance of the OGs. The pair even has the PURE$ stitching on the inside of the tongue, which can cause a little confusion in distinguishing the new from the old ones. The all-white leather has a bolder appearance through the silver accents; these are present on the eyelets, the Jumpman brand, as well as the lace tips.
Pros
The beauty of having white sneakers is that they can blend with pretty much everything. The same is the case for the Air Jordan 4 “Pure Money”, although the silhouette and the accents are a little more than what you see with other popular white shoes. Even with the platinum hardware, the sneakers are still looking sweet and clean, and make for good summer or spring shoes. The quality is consistent for these kicks, which is made in top quality leather; the toe is particularly something worth checking out. Besides the leather, it is also more sleek-looking after being slimmed compared to other reissued models. Worried about having sweaty feet by the end of the day? The Pure Money keeps that from happening, or at least from being too bothersome, through the mesh panels on the side. The sockliner is silver, which just means that it wouldn’t require cleaning as soon as a white sockliner would.
Cons
Most people would probably not pay almost 200 dollars for an all-white sneakers, save for fans of the Air Jordan 4 silhouette. While these are stylish, they are not the best when it comes to comfort; the Ortholite insole and the polyurethane leave wanting in that aspect. Parts that easily become yellow which is a problem for other white sneakers can also be witnessed here, particularly with the over-molded mesh.
