Some folks find the strap system a bit unnecessary. And if you're used to modern, plush sneaker comfort, these might feel a bit stiff initially. They need a short break-in period, honestly. Not for comfort-first runners. So, who are these for? Honestly, for any sneaker enthusiast wanting a classic. If you love 90s basketball aesthetics, this is a must-have. The "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" works for collectors and casual wearers alike. It's a great entry point into the Jordan series because of its balanced design and wearability. Sliding these on... wow, the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 4 Retro" has that familiar, supportive feel around the ankle, which I always appreciate. It's not the most plush shoe ever, but the Air unit in the heel gives you that reliable cushioning. For around $210 USD, you're getting a piece of history with wearable comfort. On foot now, and I gotta say, the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown from those plastic wing eyelets is actually really good! The cushioning? It's that familiar Air unit in the heel—you get a bit of that bounce, but let's be real, it's not ultra-plush like some modern sneakers. It's a firm, supportive ride. The weight is noticeable but not heavy, just... substantial. You know you're wearing a classic Jordan.
