The fit is true to size for me. The leather is a bit stiff initially, but that's normal for a new 4. The cushioning from the Air unit in the heel? It's there, but don't expect Boost-level softness. It's a firm, supportive ride—great for all-day wear. The lockdown is good, and the weight feels standard for a Jordan retro. A comfortable, classic basketball shoe feel. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize max comfort above all else, look at newer models with better tech. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit could be restrictive. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable retro options. Know what you're buying into. Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 Fire Red fits true to size for me. The lockdown is good, but let's be real - the comfort isn't modern. You feel that firm Air unit. It's not a super plush daily driver, but for a retro, it's what I expected. The support from the wings is still fantastic, though. Let's talk pros. The major advantage here is the legacy. It's a perfect retro of a legendary colorway. The materials are decent for the $210 USD price point. It's also incredibly easy to style. You can wear these with almost anything, from jeans to shorts, and they just work.
