Nike air jordan 4 retro : Who should maybe skip it? If pure, max comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere [c7x12a63]

Also, if you need a performance basketball shoe, this "Air Jordan 4 Retro" isn't it—it's a lifestyle piece now. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is a commitment for a retro. Let's talk on-feet. I slipped these "Air Jordan 4s" on, and the comfort is... okay. It's a retro, so don't expect modern foam. The Air unit in the heel is noticeable, but the forefoot is a bit firm. The lockdown is good, though! The wings and laces system really hugs your midfoot. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The leather upper is a bit stiff initially, but the overall comfort is decent. It's not a super plush, modern sneaker feel—you definitely feel the age of the design. The Air unit in the heel does its job for casual wear, though. It's a classic Jordan 4 experience, for better or worse. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less sleek than a 1 but has more presence. The ankle collar is higher than a 3, giving better support. It's a unique chunkiness that defines the late '80s/early '90s era. If you like that retro basketball aesthetic, this is a prime example.
