The Air Jordan Retro 4 is a cornerstone of the Jordan series. Who should avoid them? People prioritizing ultimate comfort above all else. There are better options for that. For me, the look, the legacy, and that classic feel make it a worthwhile cop, even with its firm ride. It's an experience. Walking around in these, you get a lot of compliments—the design is just that strong. The mesh side panels are a signature element that sets it apart from other Jordans. However, the tongue can be a bit stiff at first. My advice? If you love the style and the history of the Jordan series, grab a pair. If pure, modern comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Comparing it to other retros... The Air Jordan Retro 4 feels more substantial than a 3, less bulky than a 5. That mid-foot cage gives great support for casual wear. My favorite detail? The heel tab with the Jumpman. It's the little things! Just a timeless design, even at this price point. It's a must-have for any serious sneaker rotation, in my honest opinion. In summary, the Air Jordan Retro 4 is a cornerstone sneaker. It looks amazing on foot, has that unbeatable nostalgic vibe, and is built like a tank. Just be ready for its unique, firm ride. For me, the pros outweigh the cons, making it a recommend – but only if you understand what you're getting into with a retro Jordan.
