Air jordan retro 4 : Now, the not-so-great part? The weight [hxlcunu1]

The "air jordan retro 4" isn't a heavy boot, but it's not light either. You feel it on your foot. Also, that exposed Air unit in the heel... it can feel a bit stiff at first. It breaks in, but don't expect a "ready-out-of-the-box" perfect comfort situation. Is the Air Jordan 4 worth the price? For this 'Fire Red' iteration (~$200 USD), I say yes - if you "love" the model. You're getting a piece of sneaker history with solid materials. But if you're new to Jordans and just want one comfy pair? Maybe start elsewhere. This is for those who appreciate the legacy behind the design. Comparing it to other retros? The AJ4 sits somewhere in the middle for comfort. It's definitely more supportive and substantial-feeling than an Air Jordan 1, but it doesn't have the plush, broken-in feel of a well-worn Air Jordan 3. The weight is noticeable too - you feel like you're wearing a "proper" sneaker, not just a slipper. It's a distinct, solid experience within the Jordan series. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Retro 4" sits differently than a bulkier 5 or a lower-cut 1. It's like a perfect middle-ground height. Vs. a Jordan 3, the 4 feels more structured & technical-looking. A con for some? That firm midsole. If you want pillowy comfort, look at the Jordan 13s instead. But for style & heritage, this "Jordan series" model is elite.
