The leather upper is stiffer than I expected—it's not super plush, but it's durable. The Air cushioning in the heel? It's there, but don't expect Boost-level softness. Honestly, for a retro, the comfort is... acceptable. You're buying these for the look, not for a cloud-like feel, you know? On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The lockdown is secure, especially with those plastic wing eyelets – they really hug your midfoot. Comfort-wise? Let's be real, it's a 1989 basketball shoe. There's some cushioning from the Air unit in the heel, but it's firm. You're not getting React or Boost here. It's more about that classic, supportive feel. Not the most plush, but it works. Final verdict? For me, the Air Jordan 4 'White Cement' is an easy recommend. It's a cornerstone sneaker. The pros—the look, the history, the versatility—far outweigh the cons of creasing and cleaning. They make you feel good when you wear them. If you've been on the fence, just go for it. You won't regret adding this piece of history to your rotation. 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.
