If you're used to Boost or Zoom Air, the cushioning here might feel a bit firm. Also, that white nubuck/leather can be a pain to keep clean, especially on the mesh side panels. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I went true to size, and the initial step-in is comfortable. The padding around the collar and tongue is plush, giving a good, secure lockdown. They're not the lightest sneakers—you definitely feel the structure of the Jordan 4—but it's a supportive, stable feel. The Air unit in the heel provides decent cushioning for casual wear. It's a classic basketball shoe feel, not modern "boost" or anything. Now, potential cons? The comfort tech is 30+ years old. Don't expect React or ZoomX levels of bounce. The toe box can crease fairly easily—that's just the nature of the leather. Also, that exposed mesh on the side? It can be a dirt magnet. If you're super hard on your kicks, just be mindful with this Air Jordan 4. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan 4 'White Cement' in hand, and "wow" – the box is heavy. First impression? The build quality feels solid. That classic silhouette is just... iconic. The white leather is clean, and those grey hits with the speckled cement print? "Chef's kiss". It's a timeless look, man. For around $210 USD, you're getting a piece of history right out of the gate.
