I appreciate the material experiment, and I know I'll wear this all-black pair a ton. It's a fresh take that still respects the "Jordan series" legacy. You're buying the design and a specific look, not a comfort revolution. If that speaks to you, it's a solid pick-up. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I slipped these on, and the fit is true to size for me. The canvas upper is surprisingly flexible from the get-go, so there's no crazy break-in period. The cushioning is classic AJ4 - you get that familiar heel Air unit. It's not ultra-plush like some modern sneakers, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The "air jordan 4 black canvas" feels lighter than some of the leather versions, which is a plus. Now, the not-so-great part? Breathability. That canvas, while durable, doesn't let your foot breathe super well. If you're in a hot climate, your feet might get a bit sweaty. Also, the stiffness some people complain about with 4s is still here initially. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's something to know before you cop this pair. Who should maybe skip it? If you're buying Jordans purely for collector's value or resale, this might not be the one. It's a general release, wearable colorway. Also, if you have wide feet, the snug canvas fit might be restrictive at first. And if you "only" love the OG leather feel, you might be disappointed by the fabric texture here.
