It's more substantial and has more tech than a "Jordan 1", but it's not as bulky or performance-oriented as a later model like the "Jordan 11". For casual wear, I think the "4 Retro" hits a sweet spot. It's comfortable enough for all-day use and has that timeless look the "Jordan series" is famous for. So, who should buy this "Air Jordan 4 Retro"? Sneakerheads who love the silhouette, obviously. People wanting a style staple that holds up. If you value iconic design over cutting-edge tech, this is for you. It's a must-have for any "Jordan series" collection, especially in a classic colorway. Putting these on... wow, the comfort is decent for a retro. The Air unit in the heel gives you that familiar cushioning. The fit is true to size for me, with a good, secure lockdown around the midfoot. They're not super heavy, but you definitely feel the structure of the "Jordan 4". It's a supportive feel, not a modern running shoe feel. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "4 Retro" sits nicely between the bulky "3" and the sleeker "5". It has more structure than a "1", but isn't as tech-focused as an "11". For $210 USD, you're paying for that iconic look and heritage. I'd say the comfort is similar to a "3", maybe a tad less cushioning. It's its own thing, really.
