The air unit in the heel is noticeable, but again, it's firm. The advantage? Arguably better ankle support and that timeless, aggressive look. It's a different vibe in the Jordan series - less casual, more "sporty heritage". After wearing them for a full day, my feet were fine - no pain. The break-in period is minimal. The real star is the look. Every time I glanced down or saw a reflection, I appreciated the design. That's the power of a classic. The $210 USD price stings, but for a direct retro of a grail for many? I get it. Just don't expect technological miracles. You're buying a legend, not a revolution in comfort. On foot, the silhouette of the Air Jordan Retro 4 is just iconic. The way the mesh netting and those plastic wing eyelets sit - it's a design that hasn't aged a day. This 'Military Blue' colorway is super clean in person, way better than in stock photos. It's a versatile shoe that works with so many fits. Honestly, it's one of those Jordans that looks good on almost anyone, regardless of your style. Final verdict? I'm really liking this Air Jordan Retro 4. As a design piece, it's a 10/10. The on-foot feel is good, not great, but it gets the job done for style. For $210, it's a solid pickup on sale, but at full price, you're paying for that Jumpman logo and legacy. If you love the model, you won't regret it. It's a classic for a reason.
