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. On feet now, and here's the real talk. The Air Jordan Retro 4 is "not" a modern, bouncy sneaker. The cushioning is firm, which I actually like for all-day wear—it's supportive. The lockdown is great, especially with those plastic wing eyelets. But heads up: it fits a bit narrow. If you have wide feet, you might need to size up. It's a performance shoe from a different era, reimagined for the streets. Let's talk fit. For me, the "air jordan retro 4" runs "true-to-size" in length. However - and this is key - it's a narrow shoe through the midfoot. If you have wider feet, you might need to size up or be prepared for a break-in period. That's the main con for some people. The ankle collar is padded but can feel a bit stiff at first. Just being real with you. Just copped the 'Black Cat' "Air Jordan Retro 4s", and the all-black matte look is stealthy & sleek. Out of the box, the craftsmanship is clean. Sliding them on, the comfort is... okay. You feel the court-ready heritage, not plush modernity. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" silhouette shines in monochrome – it's all about the details. Compared to a bulkier AJ5, these feel slightly more streamlined. Great for style, tough fits. Not great if you need cushioning for long walks. So, for fashion-forward folks, yes. For comfort-first people, maybe not.
