The heel Air unit is fine, but the forefoot is pretty firm. If you're used to React or Zoom, this will feel like a brick. Also, the plastic wings can sometimes press on the top of your foot. So, if all-day comfort is your #1 priority, a modern performance model might serve you better than this Retro. Final verdict? I'm really liking this Air Jordan Retro 4. As a design piece, it's a 10/10. The on-foot feel is good, not great, but it gets the job done for style. For $210, it's a solid pickup on sale, but at full price, you're paying for that Jumpman logo and legacy. If you love the model, you won't regret it. It's a classic for a reason. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan Retro 4" sits between the AJ1 and the AJ5 in terms of cushioning. It's more comfy than a flat AJ1, but doesn't have the visible air of a 5. For all-day wear, I'd pick these over a 1. The silhouette is also more unique than a lot of other models. If you're new to the Jordan series, the Retro 4 is a fantastic - and iconic - place to start. Just know what you're getting into comfort-wise. The major "pro" of the Air Jordan Retro 4, especially this 'Bred' re-release, is its legacy. The build quality feels good, the materials are decent, and that color-blocking is legendary. It's a shoe that "commands" respect on the street. You're wearing a genuine piece of basketball and sneaker culture history every time you lace them up.
