This isn't a performance shoe. Also, if you dislike a bulkier silhouette, the "Air Jordan 4" might not be your vibe. It's a specific look that not everyone loves, and that's okay! On foot now, and the comfort is... decent. It's a retro basketball shoe, so don't expect modern, plush cushioning. The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's firm. The lockdown is good, though—my foot feels secure. For a casual wear, it's perfectly fine. The "Jordan 4 Retro" just has that undeniable style that makes up for a lot. Let's talk on-feet. I laced up these "Jordan 4 Retros", and the fit is true to size for me. The comfort is... it's a retro, so you know what to expect. It's not ultra-plush like some modern shoes, but the Air unit in the heel does its job for casual wear. The lockdown is good, though the plastic wings can feel a bit stiff initially. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel their presence. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, cloud-like comfort above all else, you might be disappointed. Also, if you have a really wide foot, the fit could be snug. And for pure performance on the court? Look at modern models. This is a lifestyle icon first.
