The toe box can be a bit narrow for some foot shapes. Also, that exposed mesh on the side? It's a dirt magnet. You gotta be careful. And again, if you prioritize cloud-like comfort, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 4 is about heritage and look, not cutting-edge tech. It's a consideration before you drop the $210 USD. Comparing it to other Jordans? If you have other 4s, you know exactly what you're getting. The Fire Red sits right up there with classics like the Military Blue or the Breds in terms of iconic status. Compared to a more modern Jordan like a 36 or 37? It's a totally different experience—more about style and heritage than pure on-court performance nowadays. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The comfort? It's a Jordan 4, so don't expect Boost or anything super plush. It's a firm, supportive ride - which I actually prefer for all-day wear. The lockdown is decent, though the plastic wings do their job. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. A classic feel, for better or worse. Who might want to skip it? If you need all-day, walk-all-over-cushion, look at New Balance or ultra-boosted models. Also, if you prefer more understated shoes, the red accents might be too much. And for hardcore ballers? This is a retro, not a performance review. The Air Jordan 4 Fire Red serves a specific, lifestyle purpose.
