The Air Jordan Retro 4 is "not" a modern, bouncy sneaker. The cushioning is firm, which I actually like for all-day wear—it's supportive. The lockdown is great, especially with those plastic wing eyelets. But heads up: it fits a bit narrow. If you have wide feet, you might need to size up. It's a performance shoe from a different era, reimagined for the streets. Putting them on... here's the real talk. The "air jordan retro 4" fit is true-to-size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot, thanks to those plastic wings, is excellent - no heel slip. But let's be real: the cushioning is firm. It's not a modern, bouncy feel. If you want pillow-soft comfort, look elsewhere. For pure style and that classic '89 vibe, though? It delivers. Just copped the 'Black Cat' "Air Jordan Retro 4s", and the all-black matte look is stealthy & sleek. Out of the box, the craftsmanship is clean. Sliding them on, the comfort is... okay. You feel the court-ready heritage, not plush modernity. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" silhouette shines in monochrome – it's all about the details. Compared to a bulkier AJ5, these feel slightly more streamlined. Great for style, tough fits. Not great if you need cushioning for long walks. So, for fashion-forward folks, yes. For comfort-first people, maybe not. Final verdict? The Air Jordan Retro 4 is a 10/10 for style, an 8/10 for construction, and maybe a 6/10 for modern comfort expectations. You're buying the icon. At $210, it's an investment in a piece of sneaker culture. My advice? If you love the silhouette, you won't regret it. Just manage your expectations on the feel. Hope this honest review helps you decide!
