The main issue? That "infamous" heel tab. It can "literally" rub your Achilles raw if you're wearing low-cut socks—I'm not kidding. You "have to" be mindful. Also, the outsole traction on dusty indoor floors? Slippery. As a pure lifestyle shoe, the "Air Jordan Retro 4" excels. For actual ball? Look elsewhere. On feet now. The fit? I went true to size — and the "wrap" around the ankle from those wings and plastic eyelets is "insane", super secure. But let's be real: the cushioning isn't modern. It's firm, not plush. If you want cloud-like comfort, this isn't it. The Air Jordan Retro 4 is about that classic, connected-to-the-floor feel, which I personally love for casual wear. Here's a real talk con: BREATHABILITY. Or lack thereof. The upper doesn't let much air in, so your feet might get warm. Also, the plastic wing eyelets can sometimes press on a specific part of your foot. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but for some people? It could be annoying. Just something to be aware of. So, who should cop these? Sneakerheads who value design history, or anyone wanting a versatile, statement sneaker in their closet. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" is a legend for a reason. If you've never owned a pair, this "White Cement" is a perfect first one. It's for people who appreciate that chunkier, 90s aesthetic and don't mind a break-in period.
