Air jordan retro 4 : Who might want to "skip" it? If your top priority is all-day, cloud-like comfort, look at modern performance models or retros with better cushioning (like some AJ13s) [jasazkcn]

Also, if you have a particularly wide foot, the fit can be restrictive. The Air Jordan Retro 4 is about style and heritage over cutting-edge comfort. Is it worth the hype? For a general release like the 'White Cement,' yes. At around $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker culture. It's not the most comfortable Jordan ever (that crown goes to the 13s for me), but the look is unbeatable. It’s perfect for anyone building a rotation of classic silhouettes. If you just want maximum comfort, maybe look at something more modern. Now, the "not-so-great" part? That classic Air Jordan Retro 4 tooling can feel a bit stiff and flat underfoot, especially if you're used to modern foam tech. The toe box area can also be a point of pressure for some people. It's not a "comfort-first" sneaker by today's standards – that's just the reality of the retro design. Final thoughts? I’m really glad I added this ‘Fire Red’ "Air Jordan Retro 4" to the rotation. It’s a shoe that looks better with a little wear. The design is simply legendary, and on foot, it just has that cool factor. Is it perfect? No shoe is. But for what it represents and how it completes a fit, it’s a must-have for many. My personal rating? A classic for a reason.
