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. Comparing it to, say, a Retro 3? The "Air Jordan Retro 4" has a different vibe. The 3 is lower profile, while the 4 sits a bit higher and feels more structured around your ankle. If you're into that locked-in, secure feel, the "4" does that better, in my opinion. It's less about flexibility and more about that solid, built-up classic basketball shoe feel. Finally, the "Cool Grey" "air jordan retro 4". Such a clean, neutral colorway. The grey nubuck feels nice. On feet, they're comfortable "for a retro"—no pinching. They match with grey sweats or jeans perfectly. Pro: ultimate versatility and wearable for many. Con: some might find it a bit "boring" compared to other retros. For around $200 USD, it's a super solid, everyday Jordan. I'd recommend it to someone wanting their first Retro 4. Hardcore color seekers might want something flashier. On feet now... initial feel? It's snug – true to size. The Air unit? Honestly, don't expect modern bounce; it's firm, but comfortable for all-day wear. The weight is noticeable, it's a "substantial" shoe. The lockdown from those wings is excellent, though. For casual wear and light hooping, the air jordan retro 4 gets the job done. Just know it's not a plush experience.
