It's a bit snug, I’d say go half a size up if you have wider feet. The support from those plastic wings is awesome, though. You feel locked in. Compared to a Jordan 1? It's a totally different feel—more structured, less of that broken-in softness initially. For $210, you're paying for that legacy look and feel. Unboxing this 'Black Cat' all-black Air Jordan Retro 4 – the monochromatic look is super clean and sleek. The durabuck has a nice texture. Trying them on, the fit is snug (I went TTS) and the support is noticeable. Visually, they're incredibly versatile for fits. The downside? That classic AJ4 toebox creasing is inevitable – just part of the charm, I guess! At around $200, it's a great stealth flex. Great for low-key style; not so great if you're terrified of creases on your kicks. 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. Comparing it to, say, an Air Jordan 1? Completely different vibe. 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.
