Air jordan 4 fire red : Conversely, who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look at newer models with better tech [09in8yre]

If you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is a commitment for a shoe with basic retro cushioning. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the bulky height of the AJ4 might not be your thing. It's okay to admit a classic isn't for you! On feet, these Fire Reds really pop. The contrast is sharp, and they look great with jeans or shorts. That fire red against the white and grey just works. In natural light, the materials show their texture. It's a colorway that photographs incredibly well, very true to the 1989 original. Comparing it to other Jordans? Well, it's more structured than an Air Jordan 1 and generally more comfortable than a 3 for me, due to the slightly roomier toe box. But if you're coming from a modern Jordan like the 36 or 37, the tech here will feel "ancient". The Air Jordan 4 Fire Red is about style and heritage, not performance innovation. Putting these on, the fit is true to size for me. The comfort is... okay. It's a Jordan 4, so you know what you're getting: a firm, stable ride, not super plush. The ankle collar provides good support, though. They feel a bit heavy on foot, but that's part of the iconic AJ4 feel, honestly.
