Air jordan retro 4 : Comparing it to, say, an Air Jordan 1? Completely different vibe [d1590n3c]

The AJ1 is lower to the ground and more sleek. The Air Jordan Retro 4 feels more substantial, more protective—almost like armor for your feet. The toe box shape is unique to the 4s. As a daily wear sneaker, I prefer the comfort of the 4 for longer periods. It's a different kind of classic, and this Military Blue colorway executes it perfectly. As a daily wear? Hmm... I've been rocking these 'Black Canvas' 4s, and they're durable for sure. The support is great. But that firm midsole isn't my first choice for, like, a full day on concrete. They're more of a style-driven, "I'm going out" shoe for me. Incredible for outfits, but not my go-to for all-day comfort. That's my real, honest review. Alright, let's get this "air jordan retro 4" unboxed. First impression? The 'White Cement' colorway is just "iconic". The build quality on this retro is solid - you can feel the decent leather and that classic, bulky silhouette... it's a statement piece. Priced at "around" $210 USD, it's a premium hit for any Jordan collection, but you're paying for the legacy, no doubt. 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.
