Pick a colorway you love—like this "Black Cat" for a monochrome look. It's a foundational sneaker. Worth it for collectors & fashion-focused wearers. Skip it if comfort is your #1 priority. For everyone else, it's an iconic piece of the culture. Hope this honest review helps Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan Retro 4" sits between the AJ1 and the AJ5 in terms of cushioning. It's more comfy than a flat AJ1, but doesn't have the visible air of a 5. For all-day wear, I'd pick these over a 1. The silhouette is also more unique than a lot of other models. If you're new to the Jordan series, the Retro 4 is a fantastic - and iconic - place to start. Just know what you're getting into comfort-wise. Comparing these to other Retros? The "Air Jordan Retro 4" sits higher and feels more substantial than, say, a Retro 1 or a 3. It's got more of that "tank" vibe. The benefit? Incredible ankle support and that unbeatable, aggressive look. The downside? It can feel a bit heavy and clunky if you're used to lighter sneakers. For me, the style points win, but it's not for everyone. If you're new to Jordans, the Retro 4 is a fantastic starting point. It's recognizable, has a rich history, and works year-round. But—and this is a big but—if you need all-day, walk-everywhere comfort, consider something with more modern foam. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" is for style-first people. I love it for what it is, but I'm keeping it real about the feel.
