The fit is true to size for me. The lockdown from the laces and wings is solid—no heel slippage. But let's be real, the cushioning is... vintage. You're getting that firm, court-feel, not modern bounce. If you're used to React or Boost, the Air Jordan 4 Fire Red might feel a bit stiff at first. It's a style-over-plush-comfort situation, which is fine by me for casual wear. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 4 Fire Reds. First impression out of the box? That classic AJ4 silhouette is just "chef's kiss". The white, black, and Fire Red combo is so clean and iconic. For $210 USD, the materials feel solid - nice nubuck and that plastic wing eyelet cage is crisp. It's a straight-forward, no-nonsense retro. Now, a potential con? The materials. For the price point, some might expect softer, more premium leather. The white panels can be a bit stiff and crease in a predictable way. It's not a "luxury" feel. Also, the exposed mesh on the side? It can get dirty fast if you're not careful. Just something to keep in mind for daily wear. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's for any sneaker fan. It's a must-have for Jordan collectors because of the colorway history. It's also perfect for someone wanting a stylish, versatile white-based sneaker that has heritage. If you appreciate classic basketball silhouettes, this is a home run.
