It's a perfect casual, statement sneaker. If you're into modern, ultra-boosted comfort tech, or need something for all-day wear on concrete – maybe look elsewhere. Let's get these on foot. The fit is true to size for me, with a secure, "locked-in" feel around the midfoot thanks to those plastic wings. The cushioning is that familiar Air Jordan Retro 4 feel – firm but not uncomfortable, giving you that classic court feel. It's not a modern, plush ride, but that's part of its charm for sneakerheads. Let's talk about the "not-so-great" stuff for a second. The main issue people have with the Air Jordan Retro 4? That plastic lace lock / wing system. It can be stiff and sometimes rubs against the top of your foot. It breaks in, but it's a known quirk. Also, the outsole is flat - great for grip on clean surfaces, but not the best for all-day comfort on concrete. It's a trade-off for that classic look. Alright, let’s unbox these! First impression? This "Air Jordan Retro 4" in the classic ‘White Cement’ colorway is just… iconic. The shape is on point, the grey accents & speckles pop, and the leather feels decent right out of the box. At $210 USD, you're paying for that legacy silhouette. It's a cornerstone of the "Jordan" series, no doubt. My initial thought? A clean, timeless design that looks even better in hand.
