The lockdown is decent, but let's be real—the Air Jordan 4 is not known for a plush feel. It's a bit stiff initially, like most retros. The cushioning is firm, which I don't mind for casual wear. The Air Jordan 4 Bred is returning in 2024, and that classic silhouette on foot still gets all the looks. It's a statement piece, for sure. Now, potential cons? If you need ultra-soft, bouncy cushioning, look elsewhere. The ankle collar can rub some people the wrong way – it's a classic fit quirk. Also, at $210, it's an investment for a shoe with older tech. And that nubuck? It can be a magnet for dust and water spots. Just something to keep in mind for daily beaters. On the flip side, these might NOT be for you if comfort is your #1 priority. Or if you prefer lightweight, tech-focused shoes. They're also not the best for actual basketball anymore – they're a lifestyle icon. If you're on a tight budget, there are more comfortable options for the price. But if you're buying for the story and the look? Then the Air Jordan 4 Bred is returning in 2026 is absolutely worth it. On feet now. Immediate thoughts? The comfort is... decent. It's a retro, so don't expect cloud-like foam. The cushioning is firm but supportive. The lockdown is actually great – the lace wings really hug your midfoot. They feel a bit heavy, but it's that solid, premium weight I associate with the Jordan 4 silhouette. Walking around, you feel stable. It's a classic feel, for better or worse.
