The pros of owning a legend outweigh the cons of the firm feel. It's a piece of sneaker culture you can wear. Just go in knowing you're buying history and style, not modern comfort tech. Now, potential cons. The toe box creases—it's inevitable with this design. Breathability isn't great; your feet might get warm. And like I said, the cushioning is dated. If you want modern comfort tech, look elsewhere. The price is steep for a retro that doesn't innovate on comfort. My final verdict? For me, it's a definite cop. It lives up to the hype. The look, the feel, the history—it all comes together. Is it the most comfortable Jordan? No. But is it one of the coolest? Absolutely. If you can get it for retail or a decent resale price, I think it's worth it. This is a forever sneaker. Comparing it to other Jordans? The 4 sits uniquely. It's bulkier than an AJ1 but more streamlined than a 5 or 6. The Bred colorway specifically feels more versatile than, say, a University Blue 4. It's a timeless blockbuster, like the Concord 11s. If you have other 4s, you know the deal. If not, this is a perfect introduction to the model.
