It’s iconic, but man, it "can" rub against your Achilles if you're wearing low socks. Break-in time is real. Also, the outsole traction on dustier surfaces… it's not the best. This isn't a performance review, but just know the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" is a lifestyle king, not a court king anymore. Alright, so, we've got the Air Jordan 4 Retro in the classic 'Fire Red' colorway. Right out of the box, the build quality feels solid—I'm talking about that sturdy leather and those iconic plastic wings. Honestly, it's a timeless silhouette. On foot, it's a bit stiff at first—typical for a 4—but the cushioning is decent for casual wear. It's a must-have for any "Jordan" collection purist, but if you're after modern, plush comfort—look elsewhere. At around $210 USD, it's more about the heritage than groundbreaking tech. Sliding these on... the fit is true to size, with a secure wrap around the midfoot. The Air Jordan 4 Retro isn't known for super-plush cushioning – it's firmer, stable – but I actually prefer that for all-day wear. Compared to a softer Jordan model, it's more about structure. The weight is noticeable but not heavy, giving it a substantial, quality feel on foot. Got the Air Jordan 4 Retro 'University Blue' on today. "Straight out of the box", that suede feels fantastic, and the color is vibrant. When I put them on, I noticed they're a bit roomy in the toe box—some might prefer to go down half a size. "Style-wise", they're a showstopper. Much louder than the 'Military Blue' 4s. The main advantage is the unique look; the possible drawback is they're harder to match. At $210 USD, I'd recommend these if you have a bold wardrobe. If you wear mostly neutrals, maybe pick a more low-key colorway.
