The "Air Jordan 4 UNC PE" feels true to size for me. The lockdown is good, but the comfort is what you expect from a 4—it's not super plush, more of a stable, supportive feel. They're not the lightest sneakers, but you get used to it. The cushioning is decent for all-day wear, though I wouldn't run a marathon in them. It's a classic, slightly stiff break-in period. Who should "avoid" these? If comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer low-key, versatile shoes, this bright "unc pe" blue isn't it. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more comfortable modern sneakers at this "$200+" price point. Who should maybe pass? If you're new to sneakers and want your first pair of Jordans purely for all-day comfort, look at the Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT or a newer model. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a lot. And if you're rough on your shoes and hate cleaning suede, the maintenance on this light colorway might stress you out. It's not the most practical choice. Comparing it to other 4s, the materials feel standard for a recent retro. It's not buttery soft like some OG releases, but it's consistent. Versus a different model, like a Jordan 1, you're getting more of a structured, bulky feel with the 4. It's a different kind of style statement, for sure.
