It's a "legit" piece of sneaker history. The colorway is bold yet wearable. Construction feels durable. A definite "advantage" is its versatility in a rotation. However, the "cons" are the well-known retro 4 issues: that stiff forefoot and the potential for pinky toe rub. You gotta break these in. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's for the Jordan collector, the fan of OG colorways, or anyone who wants a piece of sneaker history in their rotation. The Air Jordan 4 Fire Red is a legend. If you missed it before, this retro is your chance to grab a clean, classic pair without the crazy resale prices of some other versions. My final take? I'm really liking the Air Jordan 4 Fire Red. It delivers exactly what it promises: a faithful retro of a legendary colorway. It looks fantastic on foot, feels like a classic AJ4, and fills a specific role in a collection. It's not the most comfortable shoe ever, but that's not really the point with these. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The comfort? It's a Jordan 4, so you know what to expect. It's not ultra-plush like some modern sneakers, but it's supportive. The lockdown around the midfoot is good. They feel a bit bulky, but in a way that's part of the shoe's character, you know?
