The outsole is flat and pretty hard. If you're walking on concrete all day, your feet "might" feel it. Also, breathability? Not the best with that layered upper. And that plastic wing system? It can crease and show wear quickly. If you want a super-comfortable, modern sneaker, this ain't it. It's a style-first, heritage piece. Checking out the details up close — the craftsmanship on this Air Jordan 4 is impressive. Lacing them up, I get a snug, supportive fit. The air unit in the heel? You can feel it, but it’s subtle. The major advantage is the unmatched streetwear credibility this model carries. A possible turn-off? The price — $210 USD is an investment. Worth it for sneakerheads. Maybe not for someone testing the waters with their first Jordan purchase. Final verdict? I'm copping. Despite the minor break-in period, the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" is a legend. This colorway is essential. At $210 USD, it's an investment in a classic. It's for collectors, for style enthusiasts, for anyone who appreciates iconic design. It's "not" for the minimalist or someone seeking ultimate cloud-like comfort. But for most? Yeah, it's a win. Just unboxed this new Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Red Cement' colorway. "First thought?" The materials feel premium, and that bold red really pops against the black and cement grey. Putting them on, the fit is true-to-size for me with a good, secure wrap around the midfoot. "However", the ankle collar can feel a bit stiff at first—it "does" break in. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the Air Jordan 4 Retro offers "way" more underfoot cushioning for all-day wear. A great pickup for ~$210 if you want a statement piece.
