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. Comparing it to other Retros? The "Air Jordan Retro 4" is noticeably heavier and more structured than a "Jordan 3". The 3 might feel a bit more flexible from the jump. Cushioning-wise, a "Jordan 11" or "13" feels more responsive for all-day wear. This one’s about iconic style over cutting-edge comfort. It’s a different experience from the newer "Jordan" models with more tech, that's for sure. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Retro 4 sits higher off the ground than an AJ1 and feels more substantial. It's less bulky than a Retro 5, in my opinion. That classic design, with the mesh panels and plastic detailing, makes it stand out in the lineup. If you like your sneakers with some structure and heritage, this model always delivers. Final verdict? The Air Jordan Retro 4 is a 10/10 for style, an 8/10 for construction, and maybe a 6/10 for modern comfort expectations. You're buying the icon. At $210, it's an investment in a piece of sneaker culture. My advice? If you love the silhouette, you won't regret it. Just manage your expectations on the feel. Hope this honest review helps you decide!
