It's bulkier than a 1, but more streamlined than a 5, in my opinion. The cushioning is firmer than the newer models like the 11 or 12. But that's part of its charm - it's a pure, late-80s basketball design. You're buying the history. Here's a real pro: versatility. You can rock these "Jordan 4 Retros" with jeans, joggers, shorts... they just work. The build quality on this release seems consistent, no major glue stains or flaws on my pair. For a classic sneaker from the Jordan series, it hits the mark for what collectors and wearers expect. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultra-soft, modern cushioning above all else, you might be disappointed. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalistic sneakers, the 4's chunkier profile might not be your vibe. Who should maybe skip it? Hardcore comfort seekers or people who want a modern, bouncy ride. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210+ USD is a lot for a shoe that isn't the most comfortable daily driver. There are more practical options out there.
