The Air Jordan Retro 4 isn't a heavy boot, but you feel its presence. The support is excellent for casual wear, though. After a full day, my feet weren't sore, but I definitely felt like I was "wearing" them. It's a trade-off: you get that solid, protective build but not a lightweight, forget-you-have-them-on experience. Now, the potential downside – and it's a big one for some: the comfort tech is "dated". The heel Air unit is fine, but the forefoot is pretty firm. If you're used to React or Zoom, this will feel like a brick. Also, the plastic wings can sometimes press on the top of your foot. So, if all-day comfort is your #1 priority, a modern performance model might serve you better than this Retro. First look at the Air Jordan Retro 4 'Cool Grey.' The overall vibe from the box is super clean and versatile – a perfect everyday color. The fit is true to size with a snug, locked-in heel. Honestly, the comfort level is what I expect from this era: supportive, not plush. Wearing them, they look great with jeans or joggers. Compared to a Retro 6, the 4 feels a bit wider in the forefoot for me. Pro: one of the most wearable colorways in the entire Jordan line. Potential con: some might find the price point of $210 USD steep for a "simple" grey shoe. I'd recommend it to someone looking for a staple sneaker. Hardcore comfort seekers, look at newer models. On foot, this design just "works". The way the midsole cuts up, the tab in the back... it's a bulky shoe, but in a cool, statement-making way. In natural light, the shades of grey and that pop of blue look even better. Compared to a slimmer Jordan 1, the "Air Jordan Retro 4" has way more presence. The downside? That durability - the mesh can get dirty fast, and the midsole paint might crack over time. It's part of the charm, but a real concern.
