Air jordan retro 4 : Comparing it directly to my Jordan 1s, the Air Jordan Retro 4 feels more substantial [a8gcjpyv]

It's not a heavy shoe, but you definitely feel its presence. The ankle collar provides good support for casual wear. My favorite part? The unique, textured leather. It has way more character than the usual smooth tumbled leather you see. This is a shoe for people who appreciate design details, not just the logo. Alright, let's get into these! First impression out of the box? The "air jordan retro 4" in this 'White Oreo' colorway is just... clean. The leather feels decent, and that classic silhouette is iconic, you know? It's a timeless look, honestly. At around $210, it's a premium purchase, but for a classic? It feels justifiable. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan Retro 4 has a snug, secure feel - especially around the midfoot, thanks to those plastic wings. It's not the most cushioned shoe ever, you definitely feel the court-ready setup, but it's stable. The break-in period is real, though. After a few wears, it gets more comfortable. Now, the cons. Breathability? Practically zero. Those plastic wing eyelets and solid upper make your feet sweat. Also, that outsole? It picks up "every" little piece of dust & dirt. If you want a super-comfortable, cloud-like feel right away, this isn't it. The Air Jordan Retro 4 is about look and heritage over modern comfort tech. Just keeping it real.
