First impression – the fit is pretty true to size for me. The leather upper is "stiff" at first, no lie. It's not gonna be super plush like some newer models. The lockdown from those lace wings is fantastic, though. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" has a distinct, slightly bulky feel on foot – you know it's there. Comfort is more about support than soft cushioning. Final verdict? I love the "Air Jordan Retro 4". It's a legendary design that always turns heads. But it's not trying to be something it's not — it's a retro basketball shoe. You get the heritage, the unbeatable looks, and a solid build. For $210 USD, if you value style and history over max comfort, it's 100% worth it. Just know what you're getting into! Final verdict from my wear test: The Air Jordan Retro 4 is a style king. The look on-foot is unbeatable—that high-top silhouette is legendary. But it's not the most forgiving shoe. Break it in slowly. For $210, you get a piece of sneaker history with some minor, dated quirks. I'm keeping my pair in the rotation, for sure, but with realistic expectations. Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize ultimate, all-day comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer a more minimalist, low-profile sneaker, the chunkiness of the "4" might not be your thing. For performance basketball? Absolutely not—this is a retro lifestyle shoe. It's about the heritage, not the hardwood anymore.
