The comfort is... okay. It's a classic Jordan 4 feel—firm. Don't expect crazy cushioning. The lockdown is decent, but the toe box area feels a bit roomy. Honestly, if you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the Air Jordan 4 RM might feel a bit stiff at first. Just being real with you guys. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 RM sits nicely between retro and modern. It has the classic Jordan 4 shape we love, but the construction feels updated. Versus a Jordan 1, it's definitely more of a bulky, protective basketball silhouette. Versus a Jordan 3? The 4 is a bit more technical-looking. I think this RM version honors the original while feeling like a 2024 release. Comparing it to my other Jordan 4s? The RM version has "noticeably" better materials. The leather and nubuck are softer, less plastic-y. The shape is also "slightly" more accurate to the originals. If you have an older retro, you'll feel the upgrade. Compared to a Jordan 1 or 3, the 4 RM still has that chunkier, more protective feel, which I personally "love". So, who is this for? I'd say it's for the Jordan fan who already has OG retros and wants something fresh. It's for someone who prioritizes comfort in their lifestyle kicks. If you like the 4 but want a sleeker, more contemporary look, the Air Jordan 4 RM is your answer. It's a great "alternative" within the Jordan series.
